Nürnberg, Germany (Embedded World 2018) – Ashling Systems (a subsidiary of the NeST Group) and Imperas Software announced a partnership to provide integrated tools and solutions for RISC-V software development. The alliance integrates Imperas’ high-performance virtual platforms, simulation engines, and models into Ashling’s RiscFree™ IDE and tools.
On the business side, Ashling will promote, sell, and support this comprehensive turnkey solution spanning both companies’ offerings. As leaders in the RISC-V initiative, both companies aim to expand the ecosystem and provide one-stop shopping for RISC-V development tools.
“We are excited about our new closer relationship with Ashling in expanding the RISC-V ecosystem and market. Imperas simulation solutions and verification models, combined with Ashling tools, offer many benefits to RISC-V customers. It is essential for RISC-V silicon developers to use commercial-grade, high-quality simulation solutions, and Ashling’s worldwide sales and marketing outreach will leverage these benefits.” – Simon Davidmann, CEO of Imperas Software.
“It’s great to be partnering with the leader in processor models and virtual platforms for embedded software development.” – John Murphy, Managing Director, Ashling Microsystems Ltd (Ireland).
“Our integration with Imperas brings Ashling closer to our vision to become the provider of a complete RISC-V turnkey solution.” – Guy Rabbat, President and CEO, Ashling Systems.
“We are proud that the Ashling team focuses on the future and where technology is heading, versus just the current situation. This alliance is a strong reflection of our ambition at NeST/Ashling to always look at where the ball is going to be, not where the ball is.” – J.K. Hassan, Chairman of the NeST Group.
“We are happy to see this alliance between two major members of our RISC-V Foundation. RISC-V has the potential to change the way SoCs and embedded systems are developed, and the business models around that. To achieve this potential, a solid ecosystem is needed, including RISC-V community members working together to build solutions that are greater than the sum of the individual pieces.” – Rick O’Connor, Executive Director, RISC-V Foundation.
Ashling now delivers everything needed to develop a RISC-V application in either a real-time setup or a pre-hardware simulation and modeling environment. Its debug tools include a full IDE, RISC-V compilation, RTOS-aware debugging, JTAG probe, trace, and the complete suite of simulation and hardware modeling
