Corigine Delivers a Next-Generation Prototyping System for ASIC and Pre-Silicon Software Development

Xilinx UltraScale™ FPGAs help deliver optimal functionality and performance

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- July 6, 2021 -- Corigine today announced production availability of its MimicPro prototyping systems based on Xilinx UltraScale FPGAs. The Corigine prototyping solution delivers an unprecedented level of automation and performance for FPGA based prototyping, accelerating silicon verification and pre-silicon software development at semiconductor companies.

"We are delighted to ship MimicPro production systems to customers," said Corigine CEO Sheng Lu, "The Corigine MimicPro system has opened the flood gates to a marvelous new level of functionality for standalone prototyping, making it available for every validation and software engineering desktop. And MimicPro delivers all this without the dependency on high-cost emulation," he added.

The Corigine MimicPro system functionality includes automated partitioning with system-level view for optimal performance. "Xilinx FPGAs make it possible for Corigine to deliver features in its MimicPro prototyping system that eliminate, or severely reduce, the need for costly recompilations," said Chris Stinson, senior director of Test, Measurement and Emulation Markets at Xilinx. "By leveraging the High-speed SelectIO, fast configuration and readback features in Xilinx FPGAs, the MimicPro systems are able to deliver the Corigine FullViewTM Technology capabilities such as monitoring and force/release that are essential for debugging and functional safety prototyping."

The MimicPro system brings the scalability needed for the complete line of a semiconductor enterprise's SOCs and IPs and delivers deep local debug capabilities for quicker elimination of bugs. The Corigine MimicPro prototyping system can be deployed in the enterprise as well as over the cloud and has been architected to address the needs of the next generation of SOCs for AI, Automotive, Communication, Processing, Vision, and upcoming applications in silicon.

Availability

Corigine is announcing general MimicPro systems availability in July 2021. The Corigine MimicPro systems are available as 1, 4 and 32-FPGA systems, with new systems to be announced with greater number of FPGAs.
