Capabilities

As seasoned EDA engineers we have a wealth of expertise, making FirstEDA an extremely capable company.

We are engineers. We live and breathe EDA, and we understand what our customers are trying to achieve. Our considerable capabilities enable us to provide support and guidance throughout the entire development lifecycle.

From top-level system design and verification down to software machine code and hardware description languages, we have hands-on experience. We support customers developing applications in a variety of sectors, including aerospace, automotive and medical.

We have an impressive working knowledge of HDL languages, such as VHDL and Verilog, software languages, including Ada, C, C++, as well as systems languages, such as SystemC and SystemVerilog.

We are also familiar with the EDA industry’s latest verification methodologies, including OVM, UVM and the recently-launched Open Source VHDL Verification Methodology (OSVVM), plus the methods contained therein, including Equivalency Checking (EC) and Model Checking (MC).

In addition, we are well-versed in design and verification for safety- and mission-critical applications and have a working knowledge of the industry standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262. We also have considerable experience in the use of platforms for in-hardware, at-speed design verification – a requirement of DO-254.
