Emulation Development Kit

The Cadence^® Emulation Development Kit (EDK) is a pre-configured solution for Palladium^® platform users to validate their firmware, software, and system in a pre-silicon emulation environment with modeling accuracy, high performance, and remote access. Using the kit, you can quickly deploy a high-performance system-level validation platform and also co-verify hardware and software with applications running on an industry-standard operating system (OS) using the standard software stack. The kit can dramatically improve your verification productivity.

The EDK provides a fully secure cloud-computing setup with remote accessibility. Teams distributed across different geographical locations can easily access and complete their system verification tasks through a Palladium verification platform hosted at a datacenter location.

Since the kit is pre-configured for protocol-specific interfaces, device software engineers can easily develop and validate application software and device drivers for standard operating systems over device hardware interfaces including PCI Express^® and USB.

Cadence EDKs and SpeedBridge interfaces are also compatible with the Protium S1 FPGA-Based Prototyping Platform to enable software development, system validation, and hardware regressions.
