VaST Systems Technology announced the availability of VaST models of the ARM PrimeCell PL080 DMA Controller, PL011 UART, PL190 Vector Interrupt Controller, PL131 Smart Card Interface, and the AMBA AXI bus. The company provide a system engineering environment for the design of embedded systems and system-on-chip (SoC). Peripheral models are an important component of these solutions. ARM PrimeCells are a 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 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.
