OrangeWire Systems develops hardware and software products to help compress and integrate the embedded software development lifecycle through hardware virtualization. Their products allow for lower cost developmental software testing, model-based executable specifications, and early stage verification. Their virtualization approach reduces the cost to detect and fix common software errors by more than 90% compared to traditional development approaches. The company was founded by individuals with engineering and business backgrounds from universities like Cal Poly, San Diego State, UC Berkeley, and INSEAD.

5. Value To Users
Hardware Acceptance Late in the
Development Process
Hardware Acceptance tools are
expensive, bottleneck
Requirements traceability, code
analysis limited for safety critical
applications
Code variants are bound to
hardware variants
