EDA360 Is More Than Design IP Plus Software Drivers
I checked my Linked-In messages the other day and saw a survey by Girish Patil with the provocative question "Is EDA360 the same experiment that Phoenix Technology tried a decade ago with the acquisition of Virtual Chips and Sand Micro?" Well, that was an interesting link between my past professional life and my role at Cadence today.
Phoenix Technologies was -- and remains -- a leading provider of BIOS for PC systems. In the mid-90s, the company had expanded into related software areas, including some types of drivers and embedded applications. Phoenix expanded further by acquiring Virtual Chips in 1996 and Sand Microelectronics two years later. Both companies provided synthesizable RTL cores for such standard interfaces as PCI, USB, and IEEE 1394, along with related verification IP.
