Arasan provides a competitive advantage through a combination of domain expertise, silicon proven IP, hardware / software tools, and customized service… the “Total IP Solution”.

CoFluent Design introduces a new level of ESL modeling and simulation for the architecture exploration and performance analysis of embedded systems and SoCs, before and at HW/SW partitioning. CoFluent Studio allows the description of a complete HW/SW system at the message level, corresponding to an approximately timed – AT – modeling style. From simple graphics, C code and performance/timing attributes, CoFluent Studio generates automatically SystemC code which simulation results allow for behavioral, real-time, architectural, and performance estimation. CoFluent models do not necessitate embedded SW code, instruction set simulators – ISS – or hardware IPs: they are created from behavioral and generic performance models captured and parameterized by the user. CoFluent Design's method is based on a ‘Y’ design flow that separates the timed-behavioral view from the execution platform view and combines them to obtain a macroscopic architecture model.
The Y flow and drag-and-drop mapping allow for unlimited architecture exploration breadth and depth, while performance analysis includes monitoring of dynamic profiles of resource utilization/load, memory footprint, power consumption and cost/Si area indices.
From the graphical description of use cases, CoFluent Studio automatically generates SystemC testbench for use in downstream ESL development environments.

Evatronix SA, headquartered in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, founded in 1991 develops electronic virtual components (IP cores) along with complementary software and supporting development environments. The company also provides electronic design services. Its main design office location, Gliwice (Poland), guarantees easy access to the pool of talented graduates from the Silesian University of Technology.

Evatronix’s engagement in SystemC modeling has resulted in development of SystemC TLM models for the most popular IP cores – USB On-The-Go Controller, MAC 10/100 Ethernet Controller and Instruction Set Simulator for the C68000 microprocessor. Evatronix also delivers full package of the USB OTG IP core – RTL and SystemC TLM together with IP-XACT 1.4 description for the European SPRINT project.

Evatronix IP cores are available worldwide through the sales channels of its strategic distribution partner CAST, Inc. (New Jersey, USA). In the EU countries (excluding UK) and in Switzerland Evatronix operates a direct sales channel. Design services are offered directly by Evatronix world wide.

Carbon is the leading supplier of system-level tools to automatically create, validate, and deploy software models generated from Verilog and/or VHDL RTL.

Carbon allows you to leverage your existing IP for architectural analysis and hardware / software validation. We give you the keys to guarantee first pass system success by accelerating hardware / software integration. First pass silicon, first pass software: first pass system success
