Six papers, a dedicated automotive sessions and demos including the use of the Nucleus for RISC-V are among highlights in Mentor's Embedded World agenda.

The automotive market faces challenges that make it a prime candidate for the greater use of high-level synthesis on designs with AI and ML content.

Konica Minolta describes how it has constructed a C++ signoff flow that mitigates code ambiguity, manual analysis and other inefficiencies.

A SystemC/C++ app from a library that extends the OneSpin 360 DV-Verify platform was used by ML IP specialist NanoSemi on a 5G/WiFi project.

Mentor's AI Accelerator Ecosystem adds reference designs, libraries and other forms of support around its Catapult HLS platform.

The company will highlight features within its Trek suite that comply with but then go beyond the capabilities of the Portable Stimulus Standard.

Tools that checks pre-synthesis C++ and SystemC code have historically had no understanding of hardware intent. The Catapult Design Checker fills that gap.

Verific Design Automation , specialist in parsers for SystemVerilog, VHDL and UPF, will also demo its INVIO platform with high level Python and C++ APIs.

Closing code coverage from HLS has been tricky because the C++ tools were built for software not hardware. But that is changing.

With PSS moving toward greater adoption, the Siemens vendor seems PSS-DSL as a winner in terms of conciseness and ease-of-adoption.
