CYBERMEDIA NEWS

Cadence Design Systems and ARM has announced the Cadence Functional Verification
Kit for ARM technology, presenting design teams with a low-risk path to
verification closure when verifying ARM processor-based designs. The kit covers
the verification process from architectural verification to system validation
for both hardware and software - all tied together with Cadence's Incisive
Plan-to-Closure Methodology.

A Cadence statement said, “the result has improved team productivity, caused
higher design quality and greater predictability in the verification process for
designers in segments such as wireless and digital personal entertainment.”
According to Mike Inglis, Executive VP-Marketing, ARM, “This kit
collaboration, using Cadence's Plan-to-Closure Methodology and
ARM-technology-certified AMBA verification IP, reinforces our commitment to
accelerate verification closure for producing industry-leading ARM
processor-based designs.”

This Cadence kit contains block-, chip-, and system-level flows and
verification methodology tailored for ARM processor-based designs using the
Incisive platform, Cadence applicability consulting, an ARM926 processor-based
representative design to demonstrate the methodologies and a full suite of ARM
technology-certified AMBA methodology-based verification IP (VIP).
