SoC design software helps ID systemic errors early in development
To help integrated circuit (IC) designers achieve design closure faster, Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced the extension of their powerful Calibre Recon technology to the Calibre nmLVS circuit verification platform. Introduced last year as an extension to Mentor’s Calibre nmDRC suite, the Calibre Recon technology is designed to enable customers to rapidly, automatically and […]
Security development tools handle Renesas RA/RX MCUs
IAR Systems released new versions of the security development tool C-Trust and the Security from Inception Suite, which extend the device support with a number of microcontrollers (MCUs) from Renesas Electronics Corporation, further addressing the increased security requirements for embedded applications. C-Trust works as an extension of the complete development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench and […]
Standardized data exchange/TSN combo delivers real-time QoS for critical traffic flows
Connext DDS is now integrated into the Relyum portfolio of DDS-TSN products which provides determinism, reliability, scalability and availability for critical systems. Combined, DDS and TSN allow connectivity networks to converge towards a single commodity hardware solution for real-time exchange of all data. Connext DDS provides a standardized data exchange between applications built from separate […]
Wireless M-Bus software stack simplifies smart-metering development tasks
STMicroelectronics and Stackforce – an ST Authorized Partner – have announced a wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) software stack that leverages the integrated sub-GHz radio and multiple modulation schemes supported by STM32WL microcontrollers to cut bill-of-materials cost and enhance flexibility for developers of smart-metering systems. Developed by Stackforce, the wM-Bus stack complies with most of EN 13757-3/-7, covering […]
FPGA design tool supports SystemVerilog HDVL
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation announced the availability of the latest version of its popular software design tool for FPGAs, Lattice Radiant 2.1. The version includes support for the company’s new general-purpose Lattice Certus-NX FPGAs, the second family introduced within six months using Lattice Nexus FPGA development platform, plus native support for the SystemVerilog hardware description and […]
Development software incorporates trace and debug for RISC-V processors
IAR Systems has extended the complete development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V with support for trace as implemented by SiFive Insight, the industry’s first combined pre-integrated trace and debug solution for the freely-available, open-specification RISC-V ISA. In addition to simplifying debugging and helping enforce good coding practices, trace enables extended testing and proof of code coverage, […]
GNSS firewall software detects jamming/spoofing in real time
Critical infrastructure systems including power utilities, financial services, mobile networks and transportation rely on Global Positioning System (GPS)-delivered timing to ensure ongoing operations. Microchip Technology Inc. announced the release of a major software update for its BlueSky GNSS Firewall product, providing a higher level of resiliency against GPS vulnerabilities for systems dependent on GPS signal reception. […]
Web app helps develop AI vision neural nets
In order to implement AI vision solutions, specialist knowledge, development effort and investment in computer hardware and storage technology are usually required. With cloud computing and specialized training services such as IDS NXT lighthouse, the process becomes much easier: neural networks can be trained individually and at the push of a button, without the need […]
Static code analysis tool adds coverage for MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1
IAR Systems announces an update of its static code analysis tool C-STAT, an add-on product completely integrated in the complete C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench. The latest version of C-STAT adds coverage for MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1. C-STAT performs advanced code analysis to find potential issues. The analysis provides code alignment with […]
