Blue Pearl Software adds STARC support to further FPGA RTL signoff

Design Automation & Test in Europe 2013, USA: Blue Pearl Software, Inc, the provider of next generation EDA software that increases designer productivity and design quality, announced that it has added support of STARC (Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center) to its Blue Pearl Software Suite, for Windows and Linux operating systems.

Designers can now perform RTL analysis and ensure compliance with best practices and reuse guidelines based on the STARC rules.

“Our customers who trust the STARC rules can now verify their designs using the STARC package within the Blue Pearl Software Suite,” said Katsuhiko Sakano, director of Japan Sales, Blue Pearl Software. “We continue to make it easier for designers of complex FPGAs to verify connectivity and rule compliance.”

The Blue Pearl Software Suite already includes multiple packages that incorporate best design practices, namely the Reuse Methodology Manual, Semiconductor Reuse Manual, Simulation and Synthesis checks. In addition, users of the Blue Pearl Software Suite can add their own checks as the need arise.
