Tensilica Joins Synplicity's ReadyIP Program and Offers Free Production-Ready Processor Core for FPGAs
15 Aprile 2008 - 2:30PM
Business Wire
Synplicity�, Inc., (NASDAQ:SYNP), a leading supplier of innovative
IC design and verification solutions, and Tensilica,� Inc., a
leader in configurable processor technology, today announced that
Tensilica has joined Synplicity�s ReadyIP Program, also announced
today (see related press release: Synplicity Launches ReadyIP
Program: The Industry's First Universal, Secure IP Flow for FPGA
Implementation) and that Tensilica will provide the Diamond
Standard 106Micro processor core � the industry�s smallest
licensable 32-bit processor core based on an industry-standard
architecture � free of charge through Synplicity�s ReadyIP program.
The ReadyIP program delivers a vendor independent design
methodology for FPGA implementation and allows designers to easily
access, evaluate and incorporate third-party intellectual property
(IP), like the Diamond Standard 106Micro, using Synplicity�s
Synplify Pro and/or Synplify Premier Version 9.2 FPGA synthesis
environments. This week at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in
San Jose, CA, the companies will showcase how easy it is to
download Tensilica�s Diamond Standard 106Micro processor core
through the Synplicity tool flow. This flow includes Synplicity�s
new System Designer capability, which facilitates easy
configuration, assembly, and integration of the Diamond Standard
106Micro processor core. ESC attendees can visit Synplicity�s booth
#2302 to view this demonstration and receive more information about
the benefits of the ReadyIP Initiative and Tensilica�s IP Core.
�The ReadyIP program simplifies the access and use of IP for
FPGA-based system designs and offers a complete universal design
methodology using our synthesis tools,� said Andy Haines, senior
vice president of marketing, Synplicity. �To that end,� he added,
�we are very excited to offer customers access to the Diamond
106Micro world-class processor core for use on multiple FPGA
platforms. We believe our partnership with Tensilica not only
facilitates the delivery of production-ready IP to system
designers, but also will make it easier for designers looking to
move up from an 8- or 16-bit core to a full 32-bit core.� The
Diamond 106Micro offering combines the benefits of the �free IP�
that FPGA users expect to receive from their FPGA silicon vendor.
Additionally, by providing IP-XACT models of its processor,
Tensilica supports Synplicity�s new System Designer IP integration
capability, included in the Synplify Pro and Synplify Premier 9.2
software releases. The System Designer capability facilitates easy
configuration, assembly and integration of the Diamond 106Micro
into a design. A free 15-day evaluation version of the Xplorer
Diamond Edition software toolkit and IDE is also available through
Synplicity�s ReadyIP program and from www.tensilica.com. �We
applaud Synplicity�s visionary approach to making third party IP
instantly accessible and more easily evaluated with their ReadyIP
program,� stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica�s vice president of
marketing and business development. �Now, FPGA designers will
benefit from having broad access to the world-class ecosystem that
supports Tensilica�s processor architecture as well as the mature,
proven software toolset, including an instruction set simulator,
debugger, optimizing C/C++ compiler, and much more � all within
Tensilica�s Eclipse-based Xplorer� design environment.� About
