VeriSilicon and MicroEJ Join Forces to Accelerate Hardware IP Innovation, Thanks to Software Virtualization Leveraging 10 Million Software Engineers Worldwide

  • MicroEJ Virtual Execution Environment (VEE) leverages VeriSilicon  Vivante GCNanoLite-V graphical IP to provide User Interfaces Software designers a no hassle direct access to Hardware innovations, such as vector graphics, Free type fonts and smooth animations.

  • VeriSilicon and MicroEJ synergy complements the “Silicon Platform as a Service” (SiPaaS) concept with the “write-Software-once, run-it-on-any-silicon-product”, enabling extraordinary fast path for electronic system definition, both Hardware and Software, to test and package them in a short period of time.

  • This combined solution suits particularly well Smart Home, Appliances and Wearables manufacturers willing to develop their own SoC or MCU, specifically tailored to their needs; it suits perfectly well too semi-conductors seeking to offer an all-in-one SW+HW solution for sharp looking graphics for cost effective electronic devices.

  • MicroEJ VEE leveraging GCNanoLite-V IP will be demonstrated on the new i.MX-RT MCU from NXP, at Embedded World 2020, in VeriSilicon booth 330, Halls 4D.

Nuremberg, February 25, 2020 – VeriSilicon, a Silicon Platform as a Service (SiPaaS) company, and MicroEJ, a  leader in trusted virtual execution environments for cost effective SoC/MCU/MPU, today announces their collaboration on providing software and hardware IP, with related tools, to manufacturers and silicon players willing to develop their own SoC or MCU. Together, the two partners make it possible to run legacy complex software on new integrated VeriSilicon IPs based hardware, thanks to complete secure virtualization provided by MicroEJ Virtual Execution Environment (VEE). As soon the MicroEJ VEE secure container runs on the new chip, all the previous software assets run the same, transparently leveraging the new hardware innovation from VeriSilicon IP built in the new chip.

The Graphics Processing Unit Vivante GCNanoLite-V IP is the first IP that benefits from the partnership: MicroEJ VEE extendable embedded UI/UX open source multi-languages library (C, Java, JavaScript, etc.) enables to run new and legacy UI applications, instantly. The first MCU powered by MicroEJ and VeriSilicon is the i.MX-RT by NXP, targeting wearable, appliances, home and industrial markets.

MicroEJ VEE bridges Software innovation with Hardware innovations, enabling full scalability from conception to the development of a whole new line of products thanks to a joint software and hardware components mindset: assembling reusable assets, both software and hardware, thanks to secure virtualization. This solution is specifically well suited for very large volume markets, where Bill of Material is a matter while still providing rich User Interfaces Experiences on resource constrained embedded devices.

“With its incredible growth, the small electronics industry is increasingly looking for both low consuming GUI combined with impressive performance on a very low footprint. When NXP had chosen our Vivante GCNanoLite-V IP to build their next gen i.MX-RT MCU, MicroEJ VEE was the obvious natural one-device platform, as our combined technologies follow the same cost oriented logic and address the same markets” said Jarmon David, Sr. VP Worldwide Sales and Business Development at VeriSilicon.

“Teaming with VeriSilicon to provided cutting edge graphical user interface libraries for impeccable looking user experiences, with security at execution level, is the essence of MicroEJ VEE, often described as “the tiny sibling of Android” : making as easy as possible for the mass of the software engineers to leverage hardware innovation” said Fred Rivard, PhD, CEO of MicroEJ.
