EVE Selects eInfochips as Design Services Partner; eInfochips Set
to Deliver Synthesizable Transactors for EVE's ZeBu
SAN JOSE, Calif, April 26, 2006--Advanced verification
specialist EVE has selected eInfochips, Inc., a leading silicon
and product design services firm with spec-to-silicon-to-system
capabilities, to expand and complement the internally-developed
synthesizable transactor library for EVE's ZeBu emulation platform.
eInfochips possesses extensive complex chip/SoC design and verification
experience, having executed a multitude of customer projects in
the communications, networking and computer peripheral domains.
eInfochips was chosen for its technical expertise and proven project
management skills. This move follows EVE's announcement earlier
this year that it will offer a catalog of peripheral intellectual
property (IP) components to address wireless, graphics/video/multimedia,
networking and embedded processor markets. Components are organized
in three families -- synthesizable memory models, hardware bridges
and synthesizable transactors -- and allow EVE to offer vertical
solutions of its ZeBu ("zero bugs"). eInfochips will develop
synthesizable transactors to support popular standard and proprietary
protocols.
Transactors will interface with a testbench written in C/C++/SystemC/SystemVerilog
at a high level of abstraction to a design under test (DUT) mapped
in ZeBu and mimic a specific protocol. Designed to provide fast
execution speed, they will be based on the ZeBu application programming
interface (API) and will be mapped onto the Reconfigurable Test
bench (RTB), EVE's proprietary and patented technology. eInfochips
is currently developing an AMBA-AHB transactor, specifically designed
for EVE's ZeBu-UF/XL ASIC Emulators. The transactor, fully compliant
to the AMBA AHB 2.0 protocol can be used to verify AHB-slave designs
on the ZeBu platform.
"eInfochips' reputation for developing quality components
is well deserved," notes Lauro Rizzatti, general manager of
EVE-USA and vice president of worldwide marketing. "We believe
that we've found the ideal partner with a value system of support
and service that matches ours. We look forward to a close, cooperative
relationship."
"Our partnership with EVE will enable eInfochips to extend
its functional verification expertise to hardware accelerator-based
verification," says Tapan Joshi, vice president marketing of
eInfochips. "We look forward to developing a library of transactor
IP for various domains jointly with EVE, and leveraging this expertise
to provide verification & validation services to our customers,
ensuring successful tape-out."
