Imperas reference model for IMG RTXM-2200 is available on request to lead customers for real-time embedded applications in next-generation domain-specific SoCs
London, England – 08th December 2022— Imperas Software Ltd., the leader in RISC-V simulation solutions, today announced that Imagination Technologies, a global technology leader in silicon IP (intellectual property), has approved the Imperas model of IMG RTXM-2200 as a reference for software development in virtual platforms as well as supported EDA environments.
IMG RTXM-2200 is the first core from Imagination’s RISC-V Catapult range. It is a highly scalable real-time, deterministic, 32-bit embedded CPU, that is feature-rich and flexible in design for mainstream devices. It is targeted as a solution for markets such as cellular base stations, networking solutions for data transfer, packet management, and storage controllers. It can also be used as a helper core in complex SoCs.
Instruction Accurate (IA) processor models offer a programmer’s view of the hardware that allows software development to start many months before actual hardware implementations are available. The benefit in overall project schedules and time-to-market advantages are typically known as the ‘shift-left’ technique. Since software development starts much earlier than anticipated on the original project timeline chart, the related project activities and anticipated completion are seen to shift to the left on the time axis.
