Visual Elite System-Level Design Tool

Visual Elite is an HDL and system-level design tool that supports C/C++, VHDL and Verilog modeling with a new graphical User Interface (GUI) and multi-language textual and graphical editors. This next generation of the company's popular Visual HDL tool for high-level graphical and textual design, verification and reuse provides a single complete environment for C and HDL.

Visual Elite is part of the Innoveda SLD suite, a complete, integrated environment for the design, exploration and verification of hardware and software architectures.

Visual Elite enables users to create C/C++, VHDL and Verilog blocks in asingle tool; perform co-simulation of Verilog and VHDL; and co-simulateC/C++ and HDL. Users can generate a virtual prototype of the system(C-based design) that can be linked to the application software for earlyverification of the software against the system hardware model.

Visual Elite supports system-level design, enabling users to capture andintegrate their specification at any level, and co-simulate both C++ andHDL, all in the same design environment through a common GUI. Visual HDL users upgrading to Visual Elite will find their design databases can be transferred completely. No data is lost, and the application will support all current Visual HDL formats.
