Generally speaking, a prototype refers to: “An original, full-scale, and usually working model of a new product or new version of an existing product.” In the context of a modern SoC, some folks would ...

A model-driven Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) approach provides an effective structure for managing a complex development process while reducing costs through virtual prototyping. DFSS methodologies ...

This prototype, which mainly concentrates on the system's interface, is shown to users as soon as it is ready. Users interact with it while developers are present. Developers observe user interactions ...

VaST System Technology's VaST SH2AVPM is a cycle-accurate virtual model of the Renesas SH2A CPU.

After the first SpeedModeler prototype was built, I used it to modify a new board being tested. It was great to not have to solder, test, de-solder, re-solder, test – and again, and again ...

Part 1 of this 3-part series described how a model-driven development process and virtual prototyping tools help address the challenges of implementing a DFSS methodology in a complex automotive ...
