CoWare®, Inc., the leading supplier of platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, announced its commitment to support the newly-released SystemC TLM-2.0 interface standard from the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI). CoWare will provide support in upcoming releases of CoWare’s ESL 2.0 solutions for platform architecture design and software development during the second half of 2008.
“CoWare is proud to have brought our deep experience in the modeling of virtual platforms for architecture design and software development to the definition of the new TLM-2.0 standard,” said Patrick Sheridan, Director of Platform Solutions Marketing, CoWare. “Our industry-leading ESL design solutions have been built on SystemC and TLM standards from OSCI and OCP-IP since 2003, and the standards-based model interoperability and reuse benefits they enable are extremely important to the hardware and software design teams deploying virtual platforms for production designs. CoWare customers and ecosystem partners will be pleased that new models created using TLM-2.0 interfaces will fit smoothly within the CoWare environment, support the full value of our solutions, and continue to benefit from the use and adoption of CoWare’s popular SystemC Modeling Library (SCML).”
