Blog Post: Another look at Code Composer Studio in Education
Published. June 7, 2013

Last week our new hire, Dusica Lukic, wrote a post explaining her navigation of TI's licensing options for Code Composer Studio. The post addressed a problem that I have seen some educators struggle with when trying to navigate TI for the first time. I speculate that the cause of this difficulty is in knowing how to navigate TI (with how many products and the size of what TI has to offer). Inspired by her fresh viewpoint, I wanted to try and re-create her experience. I went to the...

DAC 2013 – Software Driven EDA for the “Age of Gods”
Published. May 28, 2013

This year's Design Automation Conference is less than a week away, and it's time for my preview of what to see at DAC.

Building Open Virtual Platforms - Bridging the Gap of Model Availability
Published. May 4, 2011

Virtual prototypes promise to enable early software development, shorten system bring-up time, and provide a resulting increase in revenue. One of the key barriers that project teams face when considering use of virtual prototypes is the "missing model syndrome" -- essentially the lack of adequate pre-built IP to assemble into the prototype, and the challenges of creating those models themselves. Some providers have created libraries of models, but without a standard language...
