SAN JOSE, Calif. - Cadence Design (NASDAQ:CDNS) Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) announced a collaborative effort with Arm to accelerate innovation in software-defined vehicles (SDVs), particularly for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The partnership aims to create a chiplet-based reference design and software development platform using Arm's latest Automotive Enhanced technologies and Cadence's IP.
The new design will address the automotive industry's need for more complex artificial intelligence (AI) and software capabilities and promote interoperability and collaboration. The reference design offers a scalable chiplet architecture, which is crucial for seamless integration of components from various IP providers. Additionally, the software development platform aligns with the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE) initiative, allowing developers to start software development even before hardware is finalized.
Key components of Cadence's solution include Helium™ Virtual and Hybrid Studio for creating virtual platforms, Helium Software Digital Twin for software deployment, I/O IP solutions supporting protocols like Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™), and a comprehensive compute IP portfolio with advanced AI solutions.
Dipti Vachani, Arm's Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Automotive Line of Business, emphasized the importance of speeding up hardware and software development to meet the demands of next-generation SDVs. Paul Cunningham, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the System Verification Group at Cadence, also highlighted the role of virtual platforms and chiplets in overcoming inefficiencies in the development and verification processes.
The partnership intends to reduce system design workload and advance the development timeline for the increasingly complex SDVs. The virtual platform and component IP for the reference platform are currently available for early adopters.
