Leading SDR Tool Supports Design Flow with The MathWorks’ Simulink and Real-Time Workshop

Leading Software Defined Radio Development Tool Suite Supports End-to-End Design Flow with The MathWorks’ Simulink and Real-Time Workshop

Automated code generation in complementary tools leveraged for accelerated and simplified development

Vienna, VA, February 22, 2007 — At the 2007 Software Radio Summit, Zeligsoft™, a leading vendor of market-specific embedded software development tools, today announced that the most widely adopted tools for Software Defined Radio (SDR) development, Zeligsoft Component Enabler™ (CE) and Code Generator, now support an end-to-end design flow with The MathWorks’ Simulink®, the world’s leading tool for simulation and model-based design, and Real-Time Workshop®, the tool that generates optimized, portable and customizable code from Simulink models.

Traditionally, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) designers and SDR systems designers have made use of their own specific tools. DSP experts, having finished their prototypes in Simulink, tended to pass responsibility for implementation and integration over to the SDR system development team. This implementation was often carried out by hand outside of The MathWorks environment. Zeligsoft’s end-to-end design flow eliminates this troublesome gap in the tool chain and ensures that project teams fully benefit from all of the modeling and code automation available to them.

“Our SDR customers have asked us how to best use these leading tools together in their projects,” said Mark Hermeling, Director of Applications Engineering, Zeligsoft. “We can now offer them a proven way of bringing modeling and code generation tools for the Digital Signal Processing and Software Defined Radio domains together for accelerated development and the highest possible code quality.”

The Zeligsoft-MathWorks end-to-end design flow enables SDR designers to model and implement their DSP elements in a distributed fashion with Simulink, use Real-Time Workshop to generate DSP code, and readily combine this code stream with Zeligsoft’s standards-compliant SDR component code to form complete SDR components. The design flow takes advantage of the sophisticated code automation provided by both Zeligsoft’s Code Generator and The MathWorks’ Real-Time Workshop for accelerated development and high-quality code.

“Bridging Zeligsoft’s SDR tools and The MathWorks’ industry leading simulation and design tools is a significant contribution to the SDR development community,” said Louis Bélanger, Chief Technology Officer, Lyrtech. “We anticipate that our customers will quickly move to leverage this design flow in their SDR development.”

“We are delighted to offer this capability to our customers,” said Kamal Krishnapillai, VP Sales and Marketing, Zeligsoft. “This integration between these industry leading tools assures engineers that they benefit from maximum use of their MathWorks and Zeligsoft tooling investment, whether for rapid prototyping of their SDR application or to benefit from Real-Time Workshop generated code for their production SDR systems.”

“We are pleased to add The MathWorks’ Simulink and Real-Time Workshop to our growing list of best-in-class partnerships for SDR,” said Neil Patterson, Director of Business Development, Zeligsoft. “Engineers worldwide will welcome the ease with which they can integrate their Real-Time Workshop generated DSP code with their Zeligsoft component-based code stream for complete, correct-by-construction, standards-compliant SDR applications.”

The Zeligsoft-MathWorks end-to-end design flow is being demonstrated at Zeligsoft’s booth (#18) during the 2007 IDGA Software Radio Summit taking place at the Sheraton Premier at Tysons Corner, Vienna, Virginia, February 21st-22nd.
