Yokogawa Digital Computer Offers In-Circuit Emulator
for On-Chip Debug of Tensilica’s Xtensa Processor
Advanced
In-Circuit Emulator is Already Proven at Tensilica
Customers
SANTA CLARA, Calif., and
YOKOHAMA, Japan, July 7, 2003 – Tensilica, Inc. today announced
the immediate availability of the advicePLUS
Advanced In-Circuit Emulator from Yokogawa Digital
Computer Corporation (YDC) for Tensilica’s
Xtensa configurable processor cores. advicePLUS
is already in use by Tensilica customers, including
a major Japanese printer manufacturer. Yokogawa
Digital Computer Corporation also joined Tensilica’s
Xtensions partner network.
“Our customers have been very impressed
with the capabilities of YDC’s advicePLUS
system,” stated Bernie Rosenthal, Tensilica’s
Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “It’s
fast, proven, and helps accelerate the design process.”
The advicePLUS in-circuit emulator is a robust
development system scalable from basic JTAG/OCD
to a fully featured in-circuit emulator. It features
bus speeds to 200 MHz, high-speed emulation memory
from 4 to 64 MB, USB/100-BT Ethernet host interface,
and a sophisticated C/C++ source debugger. The
scalable architecture allows designers to start
with a basic JTAG tool and add additional features
such as emulation memory, external bus trace and
coverage/performance measurement.
Single or multiple processors can be debugged
using microVIEW-PLUS, a graphical high-level debug
interface that runs under MS-Windows. microVIEW-PLUS
is tightly integrated to the emulator control system
an unmatched combination of high-level language
debug features together with low-level target visibility
and control. Trigger and breakpoint event setup,
memory mapping, performance analysis and emulator
control switches are all just a mouse click away.
Tensilica’s Xtensions Network brings together “best
in class” products and services from industry
leaders to enable SOC designers to accelerate development
of their Xtensa-based designs. More information
on this program is available at www.tensilica.com/html/partners.html.
