Technology for the future. Today.

Tools designed for developers to create and innovate.

Designed for Developers

Arm’s mission is to produce advanced technology with support to help developers reach their objectives with ease.

IP Compatibility:All Cortex and Neoverse processors, CCI and CCN interconnect, as well as other system IP are compatible. Fast Models are functionally accurate, so banked and co-processor registers, exception levels, translation tables and cache coherency are all available to programmers.Hybrid Simulation: Connect a CPU subsystem to peripherals on hardware emulators via AMBA transactors for emulation acceleration. Compatible with Cadence, Siemens EDA and Synopsys emulators for maximum flexibility in your software development and IP validation process.Fixed Virtual Platforms: Fixed versions of Fast Models are also available, giving software developers a ready-to-use model of a complete Arm system. They can be downloaded, licensed individually, and imported into Arm Development Studio for ease of use. Fixed virtual platforms are a convenient way of testing software without needing to wait for development boards to become available.

New, Market-Leading Opportunities for Marvell

Automation, electrification, and in-vehicle user experience are also driving requirements for higher computing power across the automotive industry. This computing power must respect the constraints of power consumption, heat dissipation, and packaging space, and allow fast and flexible development while putting functional safety first.The evolution from hardware-defined to software-defined compute requires new development paradigms to address advanced compute architectures and increasing software complexity, while ensuring seamless development and deployment from the cloud to the car. This of course provides tremendous growth opportunities for Marvell using Arm-based technology.

Significant Steps Forward:

Marvell is an important partner in the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE). This project is an industry-led collaboration defined by automakers, semiconductor suppliers, open source and independent software vendors, and cloud technology leaders.
SOAFEE offers a cloud-native architecture enhanced for mixed-criticality automotive applications. It includes an open-source reference implementation to enable commercial and non-commercial offerings.
The cloud-native paradigm can fundamentally change the way automotive software is developed, tested, and deployed in the future. This approach provides a scalable solution to enable software-defined vehicles.
Among other things SOAFEE adds the functional safety and real-time capabilities required for autonomous workloads.

Marvell was one of the first silicon ecosystem members to join SOAFEE

Marvell has access to the SOAFEE architecture standards to help streamline development from cloud to deployment at the vehicle.
This enables faster time to market for the Marvell Brightlane automotive portfolio and other Marvell automotive-based initiatives.
Marvell’s success in high-performance silicon platforms helps its customers more easily transition from cloud development to vehicle deployment.
