The announcement is intended to help enhance and streamline the design and verification processes for complex semiconductor designs, significantly improving time-to-market and overall design efficiency.
Agnisys, now listed as one of the EDA providers working with Arm, has released a comprehensive solution brief titled "Functionally Safe Design for Arm-Based SoC Design". This brief addresses the critical need for functional safety in automotive systems and the stringent requirements of ISO 26262.
The Arm Partner Program ecosystem covers the globe and promotes collaboration among thousands of partners to help customers innovate and get to market faster.
“We are honoured to be recognised as a partner in the Arm ecosystem. This partnership with Arm will help IP and SoC companies to get to market faster with better quality of products,” said Anupam Bakshi, CEO of Agnisys. “Agnisys always looks for ways to improve the development process for complex IP/SoC designs for vertical markets such as AI, Automotive, IoT, etc.”
“The increasing complexity of automotive systems require solutions that can deliver advanced technological capabilities while ensuring functional safety and reliability. Our mutual customers can leverage Arm's ubiquitous architecture and Agnisys' design and verification tools to enhance design capabilities, improve efficiency, and accelerate time-to-market.” said Kevin Ryan, senior director of partner marketing, Arm.
Agnisys provides tool that help engineers to comply with ISO26262 standards by automating various aspects of the development process, including requirements management, design, verification, validation, and documentation generation.
These tools help streamline workflows, reduce the risk of system failures, and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.
Meeting ISO 26262 standards presents significant challenges due to the complexity of integrating safety-critical functions into modern automotive systems and Agnisys addresses these challenges with its IDesignSpec Suite, which automates the generation of Arm-based IP designs and incorporates essential safety features like parity, CRC, SECDED, TMR, and sniffing engines based on the safety requirements.
This automation allows developers to create reliable and robust systems more efficiently, ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards and by leveraging IDesignSpec, developers benefit from faster development times and access to the power-efficient, widely used Arm technology, enhancing the safety and reliability of automotive and SoC designs.
