Key Benefits

High-performance software and system verification early in the design cycle

Early Software
Development

The speed needed to make early software development possible

High Performance

Fast firmware, software verification, and OS boot and execution

HW / SW Debug

HW/SW debug with industry-leading software development IDEs

Product Categories

Designs are getting bigger and embedded software is growing exponentially. Yet development schedules are shrinking, and you must complete your projects earlier. New tools are needed to address this problem.

Protium™ X1

Enterprise FPGA-based prototyping platform enables early firmware and software development, for any size and type of design with an advanced blade architecture that scales from a single FPGA to billions of gates

Virtual System Platform

Simplifies the creation and support of virtual prototypes with faster debugging, so design teams can begin developing software weeks or months before a hardware prototype is available, and software teams can use it as their application development platform.
