Software Configuration Management for hardware designers
For years the software design community has enjoyed a development environment far more sophisticated than that of the hardware world. Development activities such as revision control, software configuration management (SCM), remote design team support, IP reuse and management, continuous integration, team collaboration, code review etc. have been embraced by software developers, and a wide choice of tools and methodologies have been built to automate these.
The Methodics strategy is to leverage these established software tools and methodologies in the hardware environment using the following principles:
- Integrate best-in-class software configuration management (SCM) tools with Cadence
- Leverage our experience with Cadence tools to provide close integration, simplicity
- Develop “DM Driven” Mixed-Signal, Analog and CustomIC tools that leverage the VersIC platform.
