Design environment unites Hwr-Swr

Embedded Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition is a complete development environment for embedded C/C++ development on X86, ARM, Coldfire, MIPS, and Power architectures and provides the most advanced pre-silicon technology available, yielding a significant time-to-market advantage for SOC designs.

The package is integrated with the Mentor Vista platform for early abstract functional models of the hardware even before the hardware design is implemented in RTL. The Vista platform supports industry standard SystemC/TLM 2.0 virtual prototypes and QEMU machine emulators. The design tools native software development environment can be used later in the design flow alongside virtual platform representations. The basic Virtual Edition package starts at $12,500.
