RAM, FLASH, etc.
RTL extensions (Verilog)
Dedicated
Register and Memory windows, as well as all
other Univers standard windows
Cycle accuracy
The tools to create highly optimized
executables consist of:
C-compiler
Assembler / Disassembler
Linker
A2P Architecture:
Adveda’s
development, simulation and
debug tools offer the
designer full visibility and full
controllability of the design.
Some of the unique
features: |
|
|
The accurate Static/Dynamic
Profiler analyzes the application code:
These measurements pinpoint inefficiencies in
the design and enable the concurrent
optimization of the system architecture, the
hardware and the software. The tool models the
complete memory hierarchy which may include
cache memories, write buffers, RAMS, flash
memories, etc. Using these data the memory
subsystem can be configured to achieve optimal
performance.
The thorough understanding gained of the hot
spots of the profiled algorithms is used to
optimize the existing code and then to develop
custom instructions as necessary to meet the
goals of a particular solution. This may be a
performance goal, a power goal, a silicon area
goal, or most likely a combination of all three.
These instructions are then
integrated into the A2P processor design and the
software toolset, and most importantly, the C
compiler, are retargeted to the modified
processor. The resulting system is then
re-profiled to determine the resultant benefit
to ensure that the design goals are met.

When your
design contains HDL code you can take advantage
of the ultra fast HDL simulator. This simulator
is factors faster than mainstream digital
simulators.
|
|
|
Simultaneous simulation (and debugging) of more
A2P
processors (or other processors, eg an ARM9)
in multi-processor applications including all
peripherals (Modelled or Verilog) in one
unified simulation environment.
|
|
|
Incredible debug facilities,
providing full insight in program flow, stack
content, expanded C-"struct" content in popup
windows, etc.
|
|
|
Unlimited breakpoints |

Advanced Architectures (A2) designs high-performance computer
systems, subsystems and components. A2’s strengths
include the conceptual design and architecture of
complete systems including custom DSPs and CPUs.
Advanced Architectures is unique
as a design house by being able to provide a leadership
role in the development of complete systems from concept
through manufacturing. A2’s proficient interfacing with
sales, marketing, manufacturing, and finance ensures
corporate success. A2’s design experience includes
implementing structured design methodologies, performing
HDL modeling simulation, performance analysis, logical
design, packaging and detailed implementation.
