TOULON, France -- Electronics systems designers at Thales Computer in Toulon, France, needed a standard set of design and development software tools, particularly for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). They found their solution in the Visual Elite product from Innoveda Inc. of Marlborough, Mass.
Thales Group is standardizing on Visual Elite for advanced hardware description language (HDL) and system-level design, Innoveda officials say. Thales chose Innoveda's Visual Elite solution for its superior technology, high level of functionality and ease of use.
Thales is a global electronics company serving aerospace, defense, and information technology applications.
"We chose Visual Elite to help standardize our design flow for complex FPGA design, says Yves Boccon-Gibod, manager of the Thales Research and Technology Hardware Engineering Department.
"This flow requires the most advanced software technology to handle increasing design complexity and enable design collaboration across multiple design units and sites," Boccon-Gibod says. "Innoveda has worked with us to tightly integrate Visual Elite with our group-wide ATDM design flow, achieving a solution tailored to our needs that also leverages our previous investments."
ATDM (Atelier Thales de Developpement Materiel) is an internal technical "portal" at Thales that integrates and streamlines usage of all electronic design automation (EDA) tools in the Thales design flow.
Thales first selected Innoveda solutions in 1998, to support design entry for complex FPGAs using HDL. Its Research and Technology Engineering Department is responsible for the support and development of tools and methodology throughout the group.
Visual Elite supports "system-level down to Register Transfer Level (RTL)" design methodologies and languages, providing hardware engineers and system architects with an environment to capture, verify, and analyze system-level functionality.
