Duolog and Cadence to validate interoperability from TLM virtual prototype through RTL assembly

DUBLIN, IRELAND: Duolog Technologies, the award-winning developer of IP and SoC integration products, is collaborating with Cadence Design Systems to validate system development flows from open, connected, and scalable virtual system prototyping connected to RTL SoC assembly.

The validated flow connects the Duolog industry-proven integration applications, Socrates, and the Cadence System Development Suite. To further support this flow, Duolog is extending its relationship with Cadence by joining the Cadence System Realization Alliance.

“At Duolog, we recognize that a comprehensive data management solution is essential for complex IP-based SoC assembly,” said Norman Walsh, COO at Duolog Technologies. “The Cadence System Development Suite provides the key connections between our products to improve team productivity, and extend into the vitally important area of software development. The collaboration between Cadence and Duolog harnesses the power of our industry-leading Socrates tool suite.”

“Interoperability with IP-based SoC assembly solutions is an important requirement for improving productivity of system development by enabling earlier software development and rapid system assembly,” said Michal Siwinski, Product Management Group Director, System & Software Realization Group, Cadence. “By collaborating with Duolog, we are providing a solution that is open, connected and scalable—essential criteria for developing complex systems in today’s application-driven technology environment.”

The Cadence System Development Suite provides four connected platforms that enable hardware-software co-design from early software development through to prototyping, while Duolog’s Socrates manages the assembly of the vital infrastructures of these systems. Socrates assembles the virtual systems, and maintains a consistent HW/SW interface between the virtual and real systems. TLM2.0-based IP can be quickly and easily integrated into virtual systems using the rules-based integration methodology at the heart of Socrates.
