IRIS-EnLight exploits sophisticated image and video processing technologies to enable high quality video under challenging lighting conditions in real-world applications like mobile phones, surveillance cameras and automotive. Images and videos captured in low-light conditions are facing two problems: Insufficient visual information and excessive noise. The IRIS-EnLight core simultaneously addresses these, in order to reach a clear and properly illuminant output.
IRIS-Enlight is not based in an HDR approach thus it does not suffer from the limitation of multi-frame HDR techniques (blurring, ghosting, etc). To this end, and due to the highly innovative techniques employed in this IP core, IRIS-EnLight is able to process video streams in real time and under any motion conditions, without limiting the freedom of the camera user. However, although it is not an HDR module, IRIS-EnLight has inherent HDR characteristics, being able to work evenly well in high dynamic range scenes.
Moreover, by using EnLight, integrators can significantly leverage the functionality and response of the device cameras, by allowing higher shutter speeds, which in other case would lead to darker results and inferior image quality.
IRIS-EnLight has been optimized for the challenging computational environment of mobile devices and can process video streams in real-time and with low-power. It incorporates a bundle of innovative color tone-mapping techniques as well as a proprietary video de-noising system providing high-quality results.

Lauterbach’s Trace32-PowerDebug enables CEVA customers to conduct real-time debugging of multi-core environments that incorporate CEVA DSPs.
The TRACE32-Powerdebug supports Multi-Core debugging together with other cores (e.g. ARM, MIPS or C166). All trigger and trace features of the chip are supported. Graphical variable displays and dedicated commands to handle large arrays support the development of DSP specific code.
Working together, Lauterbach and CEVA significantly accelerate application and chip development for complex, multi-core System-on-Chip (SoC) thanks to concurrent multi-core debugging of CEVA DSP Cores. This is a key element in the development and testing of SoC design where successfully debugging an application running simultaneously on two or more processors is vital to meeting a project’s timeline and its time-to-market. Lauterbach’s TRACE32 Debugger works with either multiple CEVA DSP cores or a combined CEVA DSP and other microprocessors.

Multi-Core Debug and Monitoring
UltraSoC’s technology helps SoC developers design & debug complicated chips, particularly multi-core The company’s semiconductor IP and software products gives engineers and architects full visibility: making it easy to understand everything in a chip, identify problems, tune performance, reduce power consumption and reduce cost. By hard-wiring non-intrusive vendor-neutral analytics circuitry into the chip, UltraSoC accelerates time-to-market, reduces bugs and increases quality, de-risking the SoC development process.UltraSoC provides a library of IP components designed to instrument SoC or FPGA designs. Its modular, message-based architecture gathers information about the behavior of the system, non-intrusively and at wire speed to help debugging, development and optimization. UltraSoC blocks are delivered as parameterized soft cores, allowing capabilities to be balanced against gate count according to the needs of the application on a per-instance basis.
This can help identify problems, measure performance, improve operations, reduce power consumption or identify inefficiencies to enable cost reduction.
With the ability to take on all significant parts of the design process ourselves, we offer detailed expertise coupled with a big-picture view that enables us to successfully address any issue that arises during the verification process. By demanding complete accuracy and taking into account all the intricacies of each specific case, including schedules, resource limitations and technical specifications, Veriest is able to achieve the very best levels of efficiency.

We have designed our RTOS to address the changing requirements of embedded systems:
- Small footprint
- Powerful performance
- Reliable operation
- Highly efficient processing
We are not content to continue to sell technology that is just “good enough.” Our multi-kernel approach is based on the fact that no single processing model can hope to address the needs of all embedded applications. We used our years of RTOS experience as a launching pad for this new design that provides the flexibility to efficiently support the divergent needs of embedded platforms: DSP, MCU, MPU, convergent (DSP+MPU) and multicore.
