CoWare Announces System-Level Design Solutions for Android-based Products
CoWare Solutions Enable the Rapid Development of Chipsets, Handsets and Software Applications Built to Support the Android Mobile Platform
SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 27, 2008 -- CoWare®, Inc., the leading supplier of platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, announced today its solution for the rapid design and development of chipsets, handsets and software applications built to support the Android™ Mobile Platform. The introduction of Android as an open platform marks a major shift towards software-driven design. It requires new design and development methods that provide the ability to rapidly and efficiently introduce differentiated chipsets and handsets as well as the ability to develop, integrate and test a massive new set of applications.
Traditional development methods based on register transfer level (RTL) for hardware design and the use of prototype boards for software development are breaking down. CoWare ESL 2.0 solutions address the increasingly complex design and development requirements through the use of virtual hardware platforms supporting:
-
The design of programmable accelerators, high-end processor cores and application sub-systems such as those needed to meet 3D graphics, security or multi-media requirements.
-
The performance optimization and validation, and system level debugging of hardware required during the design and verification of multi-core chipset and handset hardware platforms.
-
The acceleration of software development, system integration and test through the use of ultra fast virtual hardware platforms that are available earlier, easier to deploy and more productive than traditional hardware prototype boards.
CoWare ESL 2.0 solutions are built to enable the deployment of virtual hardware platforms across the supply chain, leading to more productive collaboration while designing the right products. The support of the Android SDK extends CoWare’s solution supporting mobile platforms and operating systems including Microsoft Windows CE, Symbian OS, Wind River Linux and Monta Vista Linux.
“With the introduction of Android as an open platform, differentiation can be reached through better hardware architecture design and faster software development, system integration and test, but a new system level development approach is required,” says Marc Serughetti, vice president of marketing and business development for CoWare. “CoWare ESL 2.0 solutions provide the technologies and methodologies to achieve these goals leading to better products faster. Our support for the Android SDK demonstrates CoWare’s leadership and our commitment to serving the mobile and wireless industries with the most complete electronic system level design solutions.”
