WDC

The Western Design Center, Inc. (WDC), founded in 1978 in Mesa, Arizona by microprocessor pioneer William D. Mensch, Jr., is the original source and IP owner of the CMOS 65xx microprocessor family, including the W65C02S 8-bit and W65C816S 16-bit microprocessors and peripherals. WDC has been licensing 65xx microprocessor IP cores to the global electronics industry since 1981 and is recognized as a pioneer in microprocessor IP design and licensing. Our technology powers products across automotive, industrial, consumer, and medical markets, where ultra-reliable, low-power embedded computing is essential. Building on this heritage, WDC offers synthesizable W65C02 and W65C816 IP cores for FPGA and ASIC platforms, including proven implementations on Altera® MAX® 10 devices. Our MyMENSCH™ development platform is a MAX 10® –based IoT CPU and system-on-chip exploration board, available in 10M08 and 10M16 variants. It combines an Altera® MAX® 10 FPGA with WDC’s 65xx microcontroller architecture, JTAG, USB, GPIO, and example builds, enabling rapid prototyping of embedded systems and FPGA-to-ASIC migration. WDC serves both commercial customers and the education ecosystem. For industry, we provide production-proven 65xx IP, reference designs, and consulting to reduce risk and accelerate time-to-market for deeply embedded and safety-critical systems. For educators and students, MyMENSCH and our broader 65xx development platforms offer an accessible path into digital logic, computer architecture, and embedded system design, aligning naturally with Altera University’s mission to provide FPGA-ready tools and hardware to the academic community. As an Altera Solution Acceleration Partner, WDC will contribute a unique combination of heritage-rich processor IP, MAX 10®–based development hardware, and education-focused content to the global ASAP ecosystem—helping customers and universities adopt Altera FPGAs more quickly, with robust 8/16-bit architectures that are easy to learn, easy to integrate, and proven in mission-critical applications.

Most wolfSSL products are offered under open-source and commercial licenses with 24/7 commercial support.

X2CON

Safety-critical FPGA design does not tolerate shortcuts between the algorithm on the whiteboard and the bitstream in the field. X2CON closes that gap with a Model-Based Design workflow built on MATLAB and Simulink, generating qualified HDL from executable models that have been simulated, verified, and traced against requirements. A core discipline of the practice is the transition from floating-point reference to fixed-point implementation: analyzing how word length, rounding, and overflow modes shape algorithm behavior, quantifying quantization noise across signal chains and control loops, and reshaping the algorithm itself: restructuring filters, rescaling states, choosing CORDIC or lookup over direct arithmetic — so that the model that passes simulation is the one that survives silicon. A core competency of the practice is DSP Builder for Altera FPGAs, whose Advanced Blockset X2CON uses to take high-level Simulink models down to optimized, vectorized VHDL for Altera FPGAs and SoCs, with push-button migration to hard floating-point DSP blocks where the application demands it. As a MathWorks Consulting Partner — one of roughly fifty worldwide — X2CON brings deep fluency in DSP Builder, HDL Coder, Fixed-Point Designer, and HDL Verifier. Embedded in what matters. X2CON Kft. is a Hungary-based embedded engineering consultancy serving aerospace, space, medical, automotive, nuclear, defense, and green energy customers across Europe, the UK, and the US. The team combines control, signal processing, RF, and embedded software expertise with a Model-Based Design backbone and operates end-to-end: from architecture assessment and compliance audit under DO-254, DO-178C, ISO 26262, and IEC 62304, through model, code, and HDL development, to training and post-delivery support. Every deliverable carries a commitment to industry standards, full knowledge transfer with no vendor lock-in, and the kind of close, responsive partnership that makes X2CON's engineers feel like part of the client's own team.
