Virtual Prototyping
Virtual Prototyping is a platform that can be used for software development.
The key benefits are:
- Early availability, enabling shorter development cycles
- High availability, preventing bottlenecks in the testing phase
- Maximum observability, allowing the user to monitor all internal signals
I&M can design ASIC/SoC models with a varying level of detail, ranging from high level Python, to AT (approximately timed) SystemC TLM, to cycle accurate SystemC/VHDL/Verilog, according to the accuracy/performance trade-off better suited to the application.
Virtual ECU integration
An ECU is more than its chipset: an integration effort is needed to develop glue logic and adapt communication between the ICs.
I&M has a long experience in integrating virtual ECU for a wide range of automotive applications.
Virtualizer integration and support
While based on standard languages, virtual prototyping often relies on commercial tools to reduce co-simulation effort and provide a Graphical Interface (standard languages only provide a text-based interface). Often these tools comes with a Model Design Guideline, rather than being compatible with any model coding style.
I&M has experience with Synopys Virtualizer, one of the leading tool in this field.
