VaST Systems Technology's Embedded Design Innovation Solutions at Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando, FL
Sees high demand for VaST models of ARM processors
SUNNYVALE, California, July 12, 2006—VaST Systems Technology Corporation—powering embedded design innovation—will be presenting its family of tools and models for the creation of virtual system prototypes (VSPs) at the Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida from July 24th to 27th, 2006.
VaST virtual system prototypes (VSPs) are high-performance, software simulation-based, cycle-, register-, and timing-accurate models of a SoC used for the development and evaluation of system architecture as well as for concurrent hardware /software development. A VSP can include one or more virtual processors, buses, hardware peripheral components, and even models of mechanical subsystems that are part of the overall system. The VSP runs the same complied and linked target code as the real or prototype hardware, accurately predicting the system's real-world behavior. Because the VaST VSP is cycle-accurate, the model accurately portrays real-time, critical-control system behavior.
VaST VSPs run nearly as fast as the hardware implementations of the system but are available much earlier in the development process and enable developers to efficiently control and observe the model. VaST VSPs boot real-time operating systems in a matter of seconds and typically execute software at speeds of 20-200 MIPS, with cycle-accuracy. VaST VSPs can run unmodified binary executables from boot sequences to operating systems to embedded applications.
The advantages of using VSPs from VaST include a reduction in the total engineering time and resources required to develop a product ready for production. VaST users report cutting up to nine months from their development schedules when compared to using historical methods and tools.
Please visit VaST at Booth 2012 at the Freesacle Technology Forum, JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton Conference Center, Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. More information on the Freescale Technology Forum.
