VaST solutions provide a system engineering environment for the design of embedded systems and system-on-chip (SoC). High performance peripheral models are an important component of this solution. ARM PrimeCells are the gold standard in re-usable soft intellectual property (IP) macrocells for ARM based system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Peripheral models, coupled with bus and processor models, provide designers with a considerable library of pre-verified components from which to construct their end systems.
VaST models leading processors and platform IP from semiconductor and semiconductor IP suppliers focused on the wireless, consumer, and automotive markets. Through the VaST Universe partnership program, VaST collaborates with these IP suppliers to develop, verify, and deliver solutions to mutual customers.
