Improving Software Development Productivity With Virtual Platforms (CHALK TALK)
In today's system-on-chip design projects, embedded software development has become the long pole in the tent. Typical design teams now require more embedded software engineers than hardware engineers. Putting all those software engineers to work requires a development platform, and waiting for actual hardware can have a big impact on development schedules.
In this Chalk Talk, host Amelia Dalton talks with Frank Schirrmeister of Synopsys about building virtual platforms that facilitate early software development as well as system debug and validation. With the proper tools and planning, Virtual platforms can shave months off of development schedules, and can result in higher-quality, more robust systems.
