Adveda is a company in the domain of functional verification of software and hardware. Adveda helps both SW- and HW- developers to close the SoC verification gap by offering ultra fast and fully integrated simulation and debugging tools. With these tools both the software and hardware of a System-on-Chip can be verified within one environment.
Adveda fully supports the NIOS II v5.0 with an ISS which can be used within the multi-core Univers tools. These tools make it possible to simulate multipe NIOS CPU's or combined with other CPU's, including RTL peripherals, within one simulation environment.
The SOPC builder generated project file is automatically parsed to configure the NIOS ISS. You can overrule this configuration to quickly perform profiling of the same software on different NIOS configurations. Custom instructions are fully supported, timing details including cache misses is also available. Please contact Adveda for additional information or visit our website.

Evidence Srl is a spin-off company of the ReTiS Lab of the Scuola Superiore S.Anna, Pisa, Italy. It was founded end of 2002 by a group of people experts in the field of real-time and control systems.
Evidence provides advanced solutions for multiprocessor systems on a chip. In particular, Evidence designed new technologies for multiprocessor real-time scheduling that has been incorporated into the royalty-free ERIKA Enterprise RTOS. Using ERIKA Enterprise, you can:
design and program a multi-task real-time application as you were on a single NIOS II processor;
then, configure a multiprocessor NIOS II platform, and partition your software tasks among different processors without changing the source code;
automatically setup multiprocessor shared communication mechanisms between different processors;
speed-up the development cycle! Every time you need to add a processor, you only need to reconfigure the software without touching the source code.
Thanks to its innovative technology, Evidence helps companies adopt the multi-core revolution! Don't be scared by multi-core technology! Thanks to ERIKA Enterprise, existing real-time software, developed for single-processor platforms can be ported to multi-core NIOS II designs with little effort and without modyfing the source code.
Evidence also produces RT-Druid,an integrated metodology for the development of complex embedded control systems. RT-Druid is currently used by Magneti Marelli Powertrain Spa for their automotive designs.
