In a statement, Carbon Design Systems said this new generation of ARM models contain transaction-level model (TLM)-2.0 interfaces, which give flexibility to architectural exploration, firmware development and application software development.

The company explained that models execute seamlessly with Fast Models from ARM as a part of a system prototype and boot quickly’ an operating system like Linux or Android.

Carbon Design Systems said its virtual models – including the Mali-200 and Mali-400MP – have been compiled directly from the ARM register transfer level (RTL) code and are implementation-accurate.
