Lauterbach is the leading manufacturer of complete, modular and upgradeable microprocessor development tools. The unified and configurable user interface and architecture-independent base modules support almost all of the available processor architectures in the market today.
Thanks to this modular concept, the debug system can be optionally extended with off-chip trace functions. TRACE32® tools are applied early in the pre-silicon phase for virtual prototyping and provide seamless transition to all follow-up phases throughout the development process until mass production.
Solid Sands, based in Amsterdam, is the leading provider of compiler testing and qualification technology in North-America, Europe and Asia. Our mission is to put quality into C. We do that by improving the quality of C and C++ compilers, libraries and analysis tools, and by enabling their safe and secure use. SuperTest, the best possible compiler test and validation suite, helps Solid Sands’ customers to achieve the compiler quality level required by the ISO language and functional safety standards. With its history in compiler development, its knowledge of past, current and upcoming versions of the C and C++ standards, and the development of new analysis and optimizations techniques for new use cases, Solid Sands stays at the forefront of tools testing and qualification.
Robimo, a spin off from the University of Vienna, is a software service provider and creates research based, modern software products. As basis we cover the areas of web development (full stack, frameworks include e.g. symfony, wordpress, typo3, react, phonegap, etc.), virtual and augmented reality projects for education, training, entertainment, etc., artificial intelligence and machine learning (our main competence is image analysis and object detection), and unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones). We can combine these areas in integrated products, applications include building maintenance in industrial areas, energy providers, media production (movies and commercials), medical organizations, car manufacturers, etc.
RISC-V HIPERSIM Simulator
A retargetable, high performance simulator tool with a palette of outstanding features, like reverse execution, undefined value support, VLIW support, SystemC/TLM interface, and others. By means of a generator tool a target CPU architecture description is converted into source code for building a HIPERSIM simulator variant for the respective CPU. Thus, HIPERSIM can be easily adopted to different architectures and architecture changes like the ISA specification or the register file. A RISC-V simulator reaching 400 MIPS with well reputed benchmarks and 1.000 MIPS peak performance is available to customers.
ABIX has worked with the German company Lauterbach to interface HIPERSIM with the renowned, worldwide used Lauterbach TRACE32 debug solutions. The ABIX HIPERSIM for RISC-V can be found in the Lauterbach list of supported simulations "Supported Simulations/ Emulations/ Debug via Standard I/O".

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 877543. |
IoT COGUTS Compiler
An LLVM based compiler tool providing optimizations for IoT and other systems with low resource footprint. Due to the innovative multi-objective optimization technology the COGUTS compiler can generate code which is simultaneously optimized for code size, execution speed and power consumption. The initial version of the COGUTS compiler will be targeted at RISC-V based IoT systems.
Company
Team
Together with the interpersonal skills acquired through many years of working for worldwide clients and collaborating with globally distributed teams Austrian Bit Experts do have developed and fostered a holistic view to customer needs and to the process of architecting and developing software tools. These profound and wide ranging excellences are all brought into service to benefit our customers.
Technology Expertise
The teams' expertise also includes open source software, such as Eclipse CDT, Eclipse TCF, Eclipse Trace Compass, LLVM, GCC, QEmu and IoT projects such as Node-RED, Eclipse-Paho, -Kura, and -Kapua, and corresponding protocols like MQTT, REST, and LWM2M. Embedded software skills include ARM mbed, FreeRTOS, and AWS IoT.
Other expertise includes emulation and JTAG protocol standards, system level modeling and high level synthesis via OSCI, SystemC and TLM standards. In the field of user interface design ABIX can resort to a rich project history of creating HMI (human machine interface) development tools. The engineering staff is conversant with all established host and target platforms as well as with programming languages, frameworks and APIs used in the embedded area and beyond.
Industries & Markets
Particularly for the development of new microprocessors, special purpose and application specific (e.g. system on chip) integrated circuits ABIX has all required experience ready to provide software tool solutions that fully exploit the sophistications of these devices. Austrian Bit Experts are highly specialized in architecting and implementing software tools that support application creation and verification for these devices and safeguard that software tools are being available at the time the new hardware is ready for roll out.
