Users receive free access to executable models instead of paper data sheets — they can experience the IP platforms to instantly re-configure their design to meet their specific requirements. By providing virtual building blocks for application-specific domains the user can combine IP from multiple vendors to create prototypes of complete systems.
Traditionally, the evaluation of multi-sourced IP and customization of standard platforms is time consuming and difficult. When the user creates a design using the pre-configured models from our Universe Sponosor program in Virtio IDE — a significant decrease in time-to-decision and time-to-market is realized. Virtio also proactively addresses the risk of waiting until late in the design schedule to integrate the hardware and software product elements. With Virtio, the user integrates production-quality software on a virtual prototype of the hardware finding errors early in the design cycle and dramatically improving the predictability of the hardware and software integration.
