First Silicon Solutions to Develop Instrumentation IP for Rockwell Collins
Rockwell Collins Selects First Silicon Solutions to Provide On-Chip Instrumentation IP and Tools for Avionics Hardware and Software Development
Portland, OR, May 15, 2002 -- First Silicon Solutions (FS2), a leading provider of silicon IP and custom development tools for SOC and SOPC designs, announced today that it has been selected to provide microprocessor instrumentation IP and tools for Rockwell Collins of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The FS2 tools will be used by Rockwell Collins to develop and test software in existing high-reliability avionics system designs.
Rockwell Collins selection of FS2 will provide a long term upgrade path for its design teams as they transition products from existing traditional processors and tools to SOC based designs. FS2’s Navigator® OCI® (on-chip instrumentation) blocks will provide powerful debug features and logic that are typically inaccessible using traditional desktop tools.
“Rockwell Collins chose us for this job after careful evaluation of our capabilities and our ability to respond quickly, delivering state-of-the-art tools on-time and on-target to match the design team’s needs. By re-engineering the existing core design with the FS2 Navigator Suite of Tools, we will be able to leverage this custom IP to provide an easy upgrade path for Rockwell Collins more sophisticated designs well into the future.”
