Simulating a Virtual Prototype with Carbon
SOC Designer Plus
SOC Designer Plus makes virtual prototype creation easy. SOC Designer Plus’ easy-to-use GUI allows users to rapidly assemble models to create a virtual prototype.
System validation requires the ability to model the entire system working together, and provide accurate models of both the hardware and software. Cycle-accurate virtual prototypes provide a way to develop and validate software before committing to physical hardware implementations.
Carbon SoC Designer Plus provides users unlimited access to Carbon IP Exchange. Carbon IP Exchange is a web portal that contains a variety of models from Carbon’s IP partners to provide the widest range of models targeted to virtual system prototypes.
Development and analysis of system architecture requires the accuracy to model key system characteristics, especially with complex bus architectures and multi-core communications models.
Assembling system models is only part of the solution: the key lies in the ability to execute the prototype and examine the behavior of the system and analyze key metrics. SoC Designer Plus provides debug interfaces tailored for both hardware and software engineers.
