PR Newswire (US)
Partner Program Makes LSI System Prototyping Platform Available to
Designers for Faster System Development MILPITAS, Calif. and
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Logic
Corporation (NYSE:LSI) and Synplicity, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYNP) today
announced that LSI has joined the Synplicity Partners in
Prototyping (PIP) program. LSI will offer its system prototyping
platform for the ARM926EJ-S processor through the partner program,
enabling a hardware and software co-design environment. The
prototyping platform is designed to ensure faster system
development and a flawless transition to custom silicon, for both
standard cell or Platform ASIC designs. The prototyping platform,
announced in December is already being shipped to customers. "The
LSI system prototyping platform can save designers time and effort,
while ensuring an 'out-of-the-box' design that greatly reduces
design risk," said John Gallagher, sr. manager of ASIC Synthesis
Marketing, Synplicity. "With LSI as a member of the Synplicity
Partners in Prototyping program, our Synplify Pro(R), Synplify(R)
Premier and Certify(R) customers can now select the LSI system
prototyping platform to identify and qualify a design methodology
used in RTL functional prototyping. By incorporating RTL functional
prototyping into the ASIC design flow, the LSI prototyping platform
can offer designers substantial time-to-market advantages."
Supported by the recently announced LSI reference ARM(R) subsystem
and peripherals, the system prototyping platform is a complete
reference evaluation board with a RapidChip(R) Integrator(TM) slice
with embedded 200MHz ARM926EJ-S processor. This cost-effective
board is ideal for ARM926EJ-S developers in the industrial,
medical, communications and office automation markets. With the
integration of ARM cores on ASIC and RapidChip Platform ASIC SoC's
becoming commonplace, CPU offload technologies which replace C
application code with coprocessors coded in RTL, are vital tools
for many designers planning their product roadmaps. "Platform and
standard cell ASIC designers can now test their products before
starting their implementation," said Mike Casey, director of
strategic marketing, LSI Logic. "By offering the system prototyping
platform and enabling a software debug earlier in the design cycle,
our platform helps save valuable time and greatly reduce design
risks for custom silicon solutions with platform or standard cell
ASICs that require an embedded processor in a single chip." For
