CebaTech Inc. C2R Compiler(tm) CebaTech's C2R Compiler™ is the first behavior–level and system-level design tool to unify design modeling, architecture exploration, verification and implementation in a single design tool capable of supporting full-chip designs. CebaTech’s design method combines standard ANSI C, operating in a non-preemptive threads environment , with a handful of conditional directives to define hardware architecture. The C-based hardware design is then compilable by any standard C compiler and can be functionally tested in a standard C development environment. The C2R Compiler provides full support of the ANSI C language and multi-threaded software development environments, including:
  • Pointers, pointer math
  • Fixed and floating point math
  • Function calls with arguments, including pointers
  • Global variables – flip-flop resident or memory resident
  • Global, multi-writer and local Arrays, structures, unions, floats, doubles – either flip-flop or memory resident
  • Looping with loop unrolling and pipelining
  • Threads, pthreads, openmp threads to facilitate verification
CebaTech's C2R Compiler supports both control and data path dominated designs and works equally well for FPGAs, ASICs or SoCs. By automating the development path from standard ANSI C code to synthesizable RTL, CebaTech dramatically reduces the time it takes to create, explore and implement a hardware design. By providing a direct linkage between the original design model and the final hardware instantiation, the verification of a design in the C software not only validates the functionality of the RTL, but also accelerates the verification process which, in turn, allows for more test coverage.
