CEVA Application Optimizer for C-based Development of DSP Cores
CEVA launched the Application Optimizer, which is an integrated optimizing toolchain that enables an end-to-end, fully C-based development flow for licensable DSP cores. Available as part of the CEVA-Toolbox Software Development Environment, the Application Optimizer enables application developers to easily develop software for CEVA’s DSPs purely in C-Level, eliminating any hand-written assembly coding. This results [...]
Pin-level SystemC Models of Xtensa Customizable Dataplane Processors
Tensilica introduced pin-level SystemC models of the Xtensa customizable dataplane processors (DPUs). The pin-level models are a natural extension of Tensilica’s pre-existing transaction-level (TLM) Xtensa SystemC models (XTSC). They enable designers to conduct deep simulations of the interaction between the DPUs and special-function RTL (register-transfer-level) hardware blocks at a cycle-by-cycle pin-accurate level within their existing [...]
