Adveda Univers
Adveda offers a virtual workbench (called Univers) for developing, simulating and debugging of embedded software applications combined with Verilog rtl designs. Many general cycle-accurate Processor Instruction Set Simulators (ISS’s) and custom specific ISS’s, assemblers and C compilers are provided.
Multiple processor ISS’s from different manufacturers may run simultaneously in the same environment on different a synchronic time bases. In this unique, single environment more than one processor simulators may share the same peripheral or Verilog-rtl-applications.
The high simulation speed and many unique debug features ease the (system) design debugging. Both decrease the Time to Market and increase the First Time Right chance dramatically. In Adveda’s simulation tool “Univers” the ThreadX-applications of processors like A2P, Cortex, Texas Instruments and other processors can be simulated. For easy debugging a special peripheral for the ThreadX-applications has been developed.

DSP
DSP is by its nature a real-time application. Some very focused DSP solutions need only a simple monitor program or executive kernel that cycles through a few tasks, but once there are more than two or three tasks to juggle a real-time operating system is required. 3DSP's RTOS strategy is aimed at enabling customer with best-of-breed real-time solutions in three tiers: "basic", multi-threaded, and POSIX-compatible RTOS's. In the multi-threaded tier, ThreadX from Express Logic is the undisputed industry leader. 3DSP has therefore selected ThreadX as the recommended RTOS for this tier. In a typical complex DSP application, the RTOS has to deal with many interrupts and multi-task between dozens of real-time threads. ThreadX is a robust and proven tool for managing real-time systems on this scale. The 3DSP website is at http://www.3dsp.com.
