Coware to Enter Licensing and Technical Support Agreement with Sony for Sony's AV-IT Products. ITC receives per-chip royalty revenues, portions of which are paid to the author companies, and repeats the process. The significant flow of royalties allows ITC to repeat this process infinitely, tapping a world of engineers who want to generate wealth by designing chips, not running companies. So we do that for them. ITC will be presenting a paper on reconfigurable DSP processing and demonstrating RADcore Technology at DesignCon 2000.
Pricing is available on request depending on the configuration purchased.
Under the terms of the agreement, Coware will license its Coware N2C system design tool to Sony and provide technical support to create an efficient SoC design flow. Sony will provide development direction and early software product feedback to Coware for software enhancements and implementation. CoWare N2C, provides a proven methodology to go from an idea to a system specification that can be modeled and tested extensively before costly chip implementation. Also, Coware N2C software is capable of debugging designs at the system level. Comments on our editorial are welcome.
