WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced it will support
the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices with its broad embedded
tools and software portfolio, including the Mentor® Embedded
Linux® and Android OS, Nucleus® real-time operating
system (RTOS), Mentor® Embedded Hypervisor, and Mentor® Embedded
Multicore Framework products.
The Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC represents the next generation
of multicore platforms for compute-intensive, security and
safety-related applications. The software and tools portfolio of
Mentor Graphics provides developers with a single source for all
their software needs. Engineering teams for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
can now develop and debug their advanced products under a single
umbrella of licensing, support, inter-core communication and
management, software integration, tools, and professional
services.
"We are very excited that Mentor has chosen to support Zynq
UltraScale+ MPSoC with its solutions," stated Ramine Roane, senior director of Software
Product Marketing, Xilinx Inc. "The combination of Xilinx Zynq
UltraScale+ MPSoC and the Mentor Embedded portfolio of software and
tools will allow system developers to more easily and quickly
deploy complex system designs, allowing them to benefit from the
high performance, lower system cost, reduced power consumption, and
smaller foot print advantages that come with Zynq UltraScale+
MPSoC."
The Xilinx Zynq UltraScale MPSoC offers a unique combination of
ARM® Cortex®-A53 64-bit processors with hardware virtualization for
the execution of compute-, bandwidth- and graphics-intensive
applications: ARM dual Cortex-R5 processors for real-time and
safety-critical applications; hard and soft acceleration engines;
and on-chip programmable logic for user-defined task
acceleration. Such capabilities are compelling enough that
architects are now beginning to design Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC into
complex systems comprised of one or more Linux or RTOSes running on
a hypervisor for the ARM Cortex -A53 cores, and RTOS or bare-metal
environments executing on the ARM Cortex-R5 cores.
"We've been working closely with Xilinx on their embedded
development ecosystem for the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC since we are a
leader in heterogeneous multicore technology," stated Scot Morrison, general manager of the platforms
business unit, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "Dealing
with the complexities of today's heterogeneous multicore systems,
Xilinx customers can realize faster time to embedded development
and system performance with minimized risk using our solution."
