March 27, 2008 -- Denali Software, Inc. today announced it has licensed its Blueprint product to Atheros Communications, Inc., a leading developer of advanced wireless and wired solutions. Atheros will employ Blueprint's SOC design tools in developing the company's Radio-on-Chip for Mobile (ROCm) solutions and other products. The Denali Blueprint Compiler was specifically designed for hardware and software engineers to generate and manage all control registers throughout the design process, to speed pre-silicon validation, maintain architectural quality and thus, increase productivity.

Denali Blueprint is a SystemRDL compiler that enables a system-level approach to automating specification, view generation, and management of control registers for IP and SoC design. Blueprint will generate necessary outputs and views for design, verification, documentation, software development, post silicon debug and even enables early software development with SystemC Transaction Level Models. Blueprint guarantees interoperability with other EDA tools by inputting and outputting IP-XACT and SystemRDL formats.
