Bruggeman Exits Cadence and Forte Makes a Claim for High Level Synthesis

In this week’s Fish Fry, I interview Sean Dart (Forte Design Systems CEO) about where he sees the future of SoC design and how high level synthesis will play a part in the years to come. 

I also try to sort through the details of John Bruggeman’s recent departure from Cadence Design Systems as Chief Marketing Officer and investigate how this shift will affect the future of Cadence’s EDA360 manifesto.

I have a DE0-Nano Development Board to give out this week, but you’ll have to tune in to find out how to win.

New Infineon Microcontrollers offering PSOC™ HVMS + Vector Microsar Software
Sponsored by Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Marcelo Williams Silva from Infineon and Amelia Dalton explore how electrification, autonomy and connectivity are pushing a need for low power microcontroller solutions for automotive applications. They also investigate the benefits that the Infineon PSOC™ 4 HVMS MCUs bring to these kinds of designs, and how you can take advantage of Infineon’s robust automotive ecosystem of solutions for your next design.
