Synopsys stock: Infineon kit supports software before silicon

Synopsys extended its long-standing collaboration with Infineon on November 10 by delivering a Virtualizer Development Kit for Infineon's AURIX RC1 microcontroller family, according to the Synopsys news release. The kit gives automotive engineering teams a virtual prototype of the AURIX RC1 platform for software-defined vehicles and Physical AI applications.

Using the kit within an electronics digital twin, teams can develop, verify and validate software before physical hardware is available. Synopsys says the approach can help identify integration issues earlier and accelerate system bring-up.

Software development moves ahead of silicon

The RC1 kit is designed to support early evaluation of the microcontroller, integration into electronic control units and broader virtual testing. Synopsys says teams can complete up to 90% of software validation before physical systems become available.

The development kit is available through Infineon's DRIVECORE software portfolio, which includes compiler, debugger, AUTOSAR and open-source partners. That positioning gives ecosystem participants an opportunity to test software compatibility with the upcoming microcontroller family ahead of hardware availability.
