Release news

Accessing registered documents:

All you have to do is to click on one of the links that say "Registered Link" to access the registration form (this is a very quick process - all we require is simple information like your name, company, and position).

Note that you only have to register a single time in order to access all of the "Registered" documents.

Processor Support

Simpod provides unique modeling technology for industry standard processors. With the DeskPOD system you get more than a fast, accurate model, you have access to experts who can help get your design up and running quickly

Partnerships with Motorola and IBM enable new model availability soon after silicon is available.

Creating a New DeskPOD Model

Simpod can create a model of your device in a fraction of the time it would take you to create even the simplest bus-functional model. The Simpod model will be accurate, fast, and can be used to verify your boot code and drivers early in the process instead of at the end of the design cycle.

Creating a new DeskPOD^™ model is a three-step process

Build the interface to the hardware.
Map the logical and physical pins on the device and the simulation model.
Create a simulation testbench to verify the device is functioning correctly

The whole process, from start to finish, generally requires no more than three to four weeks. So let Simpod help you with models for your next design, contact us for more information at info@simpod.com
