UltraSoC joins with Tortuga Pacific to push IP

UltraSoC, the debug specialist, has joined with Tortuga Pacific, the specialist in expanding IP businesses, to promote  UltraSoC’s UltraDebug debug and validation technologies to SoC designers.

“The Tortuga Pacific team is uniquely equipped to represent UltraSoC’s silicon debug and analytics offering to our key markets in North America, Japan and elsewhere,” says UltraSoC CEO Rupert Baines, “they bring us impeccable sales, business development and strategic credentials, allied with an intimate knowledge of the semiconductor IP space, gained in leadership positions in companies such as GLOBALFOUNDRIES, MIPS Technologies, Si2, Tessera, TI and Xilinx. If I’d set out to design an organization from the ground up to represent UltraSoC, I couldn’t have come up with a better firm than Tortuga.”

SoC debug and silicon validation are key challenges facing the global electronics industry today. UltraSoC’s technology creates an on-chip debug infrastructure that enables pre- and post-silicon debug, de-risking the process of chip design, improving time-to-market, increasing quality and reducing costs.

Chip designers can use UltraSoC technology to “look inside” their products while they operate, and analyze the complex interactions between the different IP building blocks that are commonly used to construct such devices. The features and performance of a chip can be monitored and refined, even after the device has been built into an end product – a particularly powerful capability for connected devices.

“UltraSoC is one of the most exciting companies in the silicon IP space today, with the potential to revolutionize not only SoC development, but also the industry’s fundamental approach to product design,” says  Tortuga’s Brad Holtzinger “debug has traditionally been seen as a cost – an overhead – in the embedded design process. UltraSoC builds analytics and forensics into SoCs, enabling superior end products and turning that cost into a value.”
