SNPS-3P-TDA5-VDK

The TDA5 Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK), built with Synopsys Virtualizer™, enables software development on a register-accurate simulation of TDA5 drive assist SoCs. This creates an electronics digital twin of production systems to execute unmodified binaries of production software (SW) with closest real-hardware behavior.

The VDK can be used to establish virtual Processor-in-the-Loop (PiL) and virtual Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) environments enabling earlier, automated, and more scalable validation from the hardware dependent software to the full software stack. Higher software quality can be achieved in shorter time with CI/CD deployment and expanded testing such as corner case and fault injection testing.

• Joint model development and validation with proactive roadmap development.
• Use of virtual models for internal semiconductor SW development and SW/HW validation.
• Joint enablement of SW ecosystem.
• Simplified access for automotive companies (single source solution).
• Global, expert, and clear support channels for virtual models.
• Large service organizations to tailor virtual microcontroller and SoC starting point to specific needs.
