  • Nagra Kudelski

    Nagra, part of the Kudelski Group, a global leader in digital security and convergent media solutions for the delivery of digital and interactive content stated: "At NAGRA, we have adopted the Imperas virtual platform-based software development and test tools for our application and firmware teams. The simulator performance, and the tools for software analysis, have added significant value to our daily Agile Continuous Integration (CI) methodology. Our view is that software simulation is mandatory to reach metrics required for high quality secured products."

    Fundamental to the OpenHW CORE-V open-source processor family is high-quality verification that has been achieved with the help and support of the dedicated OpenHW members and contributors.

    I am excited that Simon [Davidmann, CEO of Imperas] is lending his verification expertise and vision [as Chair] to expand the scope of the OpenHW Verification Task Group to address industry-wide standards and methodologies for all RISC-V adopters.
