Lauterbach
Lauterbach is the leading manufacturer of complete, modular and upgradeable microprocessor development tools. The unified and configurable user interface and architecture-independent base modules support almost all of the available processor architectures in the market today. Thanks to this modular concept, the debug system can be optionally extended with off-chip trace functions. TRACE32® tools are applied early in the pre-silicon phase for virtual prototyping and provide seamless transition to all follow-up phases throughout the development process until mass production.
 

Solid Sands
Solid Sands is the leading provider of compiler and library testing and qualification technology in North-America, Europe and Asia. Our mission is to put quality into C. We do that by improving the quality of C and C++ compilers, libraries and analysis tools, and by enabling their safe and secure use. With the quality level of our test suites, we stay at the forefront of software testing and qualification to help you achieve ISO compliance and functional safety standard requirements. Founded in 2014, Solid Sands is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. With partners all over the world we serve both leading innovative companies in the semiconductor, IP and security industries as well as safety-critical companies in the automotive, robotics, railway and medical. Our SuperTest Compiler Test and Validation Suite provides a complete validation environment which enables customers to achieve the software quality level demanded by the ISO language and functional safety standards. Meanwhile, our SuperGuard C Library Safety Qualification Suite is a requirements-based test suite for the C standard library with full traceability between the requirements derived from the ISO C language definition and the individual library tests.
 

robimo - robots in motion
Robimo, a spin off from the University of Vienna, is a software service provider and creates research based, modern software products. As basis we cover the areas of web development (full stack, frameworks include e.g. symfony, wordpress, typo3, react, phonegap, etc.), virtual and augmented reality projects for education, training, entertainment, etc., artificial intelligence and machine learning (our main competence is image analysis and object detection), and unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones). We can combine these areas in integrated products, applications include building maintenance in industrial areas, energy providers, media production (movies and commercials), medical organizations, car manufacturers, etc.
 

 
 

 

 RISC-V HIPERSIM Simulator

A retargetable, high performance simulator tool with a palette of outstanding features, like reverse execution, undefined value support, VLIW support, SystemC/TLM interface, and others. By means of a generator tool a target CPU architecture description is converted into source code for building a HIPERSIM simulator variant for the respective CPU. Thus, HIPERSIM can be easily adopted to different architectures and architecture changes like the ISA specification or the register file. A RISC-V simulator reaching 400 MIPS with well reputed benchmarks and 1.000 MIPS peak performance is available to customers.

ABIX has worked with the German company Lauterbach to interface HIPERSIM with the renowned, worldwide used Lauterbach TRACE32 debug solutions. The ABIX HIPERSIM for RISC-V can be found in the Lauterbach list of supported simulations "Supported Simulations/ Emulations/ Debug via Standard I/O".

 


European emblem   This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 877543.  

 

 IoT COGUTS Compiler

An LLVM based compiler tool providing optimizations for IoT and other systems with low resource footprint. Due to the innovative multi-objective optimization technology the COGUTS compiler can generate code which is simultaneously optimized for code size, execution speed and power consumption. The initial version of the COGUTS compiler will be targeted at RISC-V based IoT systems.

 

   
       
 

 Company

   
  Austrian Bit Experts is a technology, services and consultancy company that provides software tools solutions for the embedded system and IoT markets. ABIX has been founded in the second quarter of 2013 by a team working in the embedded software industry for two decades and who built up a unique stock of expertise and experience in a variety of embedded sectors.
