Badger Designer Platform™
Extensible Automation - Ready to Design
Key Benefits
- Create custom applications
- Eliminate trial runs
- Perform multivariate anaylsis and optimization
Tired of obtaining EDA tools only to find out that you have to hack your way around just to get them to work? We were, too. When Tuscany started, we decided that we needed to return the power back to you, the engineer for easily extending or building tools. Our "secret sauce", Badger Platform gives us a competitive edge for the tools that we create but we're making it available to our customers so they, too, can reap the benefits in a very easy to extend platform for building EDA tools.
The Designer's Platform
Badger Platform is the next generation EDA platform for developing custom design tools. A substantial advance in EDA platforms, Badger comes with significant innovations that improve the return on investment for EDA customers. Its breath and depth of capabilities makes it an appropriate platform for many types of EDA applications for customers that need a unified design methodology. Badger makes it easier than ever before to build custom applications that are more robust, reliable, deployable, and manageable.
Who Uses Badger
Badger is used by design and CAD engineers that need to gain a competitive design advantage by developing, integrating, and deploying their own EDA applications. Badger is a stable platform that enables engineers to implement proprietary design algorithms on a foundation that has the required high capacity, performance, and supports industry standard file formats.
Create the Plugin
Today, designers want EDA software that is extensible, faster, and higher capacity, and visually intuitive. With the Badger Designer Platform, developers can quickly read in (hierarchal or flat) a design, library, and technology data into a data model and access it through a programmable interface. Using Badger’s API (function calls), designers are able to code and debug Badger Plugins (Perl or Tcl scripts) fast.
Integration
Badger makes it easy to connect to third party applications and integrate it into any point in your design flow. It comes with robust readers and writers that support industry standard file formats (Verilog, Liberty, LEF, and DEF), a rich set of function calls that can be accessed through the Perl or Tcl extension languages.
Deployment
Badger Platform makes deploying and maintaining your custom applications easier than ever before. Badger makes it’s easy for engineers to fine tune their local design flow and then provide a unified and consistent design methodology to the rest of the design team wherever they are.
