Adoption of Synopsys Galaxy Platform Driven by Superior Results for ARM CPU-based SoCs

Synopsys announced that Mazda Motor Corporation, a leading producer of automobiles, has adopted Synopsys CoMET-METeor virtual prototyping solution to verify their Electronic Control Units (ECUs). Over the last year, Mazda has been using the METeor embedded software development environment to conduct its ECU system verification in a virtual environment. By decreasing the number of tests on real automobiles and hardware-in-the-loop (HILS) test equipment, the virtual prototyping solution will enable Mazda to save significant time and cost.
