MCCI CEO Terry Moore will participate in a Roundtable Discussion on the Role of Software in System-Level Verification at the Santa Clara Convention Center on Tuesday, March 30. Other participants include Frank Schirrmeister (Synopsys), Shabtay Matalon (Mentor), and Bill Neifert (Carbon). Ed Sperling, Editor-in-Chief of  System-Level Design Community, will publish a transcript of the proceedings in that forum within two weeks of the event.

Here's an abstract of the theme under discussion:

The ongoing shift of project efforts from hardware to software in the era of multiple processor cores on a chip has significant impact on verification itself. More and more developers report that they use software on the embedded processors to verify the surrounding hardware. It is not only co-verification of hardware and software, the techniques to verify both seem to cause a melting process between both worlds of verification at the system-level. This roundtable will explore the role of software for verification and analyze the impact it will have on verification going forward.

"MCCI has relied on LeCroy's USB test equipment for years," remarks Terry Moore, MCCI CEO. "Throughout the process of developing the MCCI USB DataPump® for SuperSpeed, we will again look to LeCroy to provide easy to use equipment with advanced features like graphical Bus Utilization reports that allow our engineers to maximize performance of our USB 3.0 stack."

The USB Implementers Forum today announced that MCCI has completed the Wireless USB (WUSB) Testing Audit and is now fully authorized to test WUSB products, including WUSB Native Devices, WUSB Device Wire Adapters (DWAs), and WUSB Host adapters. WUSB Host adapters in scope include Native Hosts compliant with the Wireless Host Controller Interface (WHCI) specification, Host Wire Adapters (HWAs), and systems with embedded Hosts that use certified silicon. Look for MCCI on the USB-IF's Independent Test lab page as an authorized Test Lab for wireless products.

MCCI is now an independent test laboratory for next-generation Wireless USB products. Until now, WUSB products were certified through attendance at USB Compliance Workshops (a.k.a. "Plugfests") or at Intel. Testing is available for products in the following categories: Host Wire Adapter (HWA) and Device Wire Adapter (DWA) end products, as well as native host (WHCI) and device end-products.
