The 2015-founded fabless semiconductor company, Corigine announces the production availability of its MimicPro prototyping systems based on Xilinx UltraScale FPGAs. The Corigine prototyping solution delivers an unprecedented level of automation and performance for FPGA-based prototyping, accelerating silicon verification and pre-silicon software development at semiconductor companies.
Corigine is a fabless semiconductor company that designs and delivers leading-edge I/O and networking products, IPs, and EDA solutions. Founded in 2015, the company has R&D centers and sales offices worldwide including Santa Clara, Shanghai, Nanjing, London, and Cape Town. The company is led by a team of renowned silicon professionals that have pioneered generations of innovations in the semiconductor industry.
“We are delighted to ship MimicPro production systems to customers,” said Sheng Lu, CEO of Corigine, which has R&D centers and sales offices across Santa Clara, Shanghai, Nanjing, London, and Cape Town. “The Corigine MimicPro system has opened the flood gates to a marvelous new level of functionality for standalone prototyping, making it available for every validation and software engineering desktop. And MimicPro delivers all this without the dependency on high-cost emulation,” he added.
The Corigine MimicPro system functionality includes automated partitioning with a system-level view for optimal performance. “Xilinx FPGAs make it possible for Corigine to deliver features in its MimicPro prototyping system that eliminate, or severely reduce, the need for costly recompilations,” said Chris Stinson, senior director of Test, Measurement and Emulation Markets at Xilinx. “By leveraging the High-speed SelectIO, fast configuration and readback features in Xilinx FPGAs, the MimicPro systems are able to deliver the Corigine FullView Technology capabilities such as monitoring and force/release that are essential for debugging and functional safety prototyping.”
The MimicPro system brings the scalability needed for the complete line of a semiconductor enterprise’s SOCs and IPs and delivers deep local debug capabilities for quicker elimination of bugs. The Corigine MimicPro prototyping system can be deployed in the enterprise as well as over the cloud and has been architected to address the needs of the next generation of SOCs for AI, Automotive, Communication, Processing, Vision, and upcoming applications in silicon.
Availability
Corigine is announcing general MimicPro systems availability in July 2021. The Corigine MimicPro systems are available as 1, 4 and 32-FPGA systems, with new systems to be announced with greater number of FPGAs.
