Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:00:00 GMT

WILSONVILLE, Ore., April 22, 2013—Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced release of the Mentor® Embedded Sourcery™ CodeBench Virtual Edition product, a native software environment for developing embedded systems pre- and post-silicon.

White Paper:Vista Virtual Prototyping

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Vista Virtual Prototyping provides an early, abstract functional model of the hardware to software engineers even before the hardware design is implemented in RTL. It can run software on embedded processor models at speeds par with board support packages, providing sufficiently fast simulation models for OS and application software validation. The Vista Virtual Prototyping solution has two distinctive components: creation of the transaction-level modeling (TLM) platform and usage of the virtual prototype.
