Aligning Automotive Safety Requirements Between IP And SoCs
By Synopsys - 29 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Today’s SoCs for automotive safety-related systems integrate numerous IP blocks. At the system level, the Hardware Software Interface (HSI) between these IP blocks needs to be verified in simulation and validated in prototype. However, the scaling of the scope and effort to verify or validate is not linear based on the growing complexity of SoCs and their components such as IP. Depending on t... » read more

Verdi Transaction Debug Platform: A Simplified Way To Debug IIP Designs And SoC
By Synopsys - 18 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Authors: Abhishek Upadhyay, R&D Engineer, Synopsys, and Kanak Rajput, Application Engineer, Synopsys Design problems that appear in the late phases of the development cycle can be extremely difficult to track down and debug, thus putting project schedules at risk. It’s not uncommon for an engineer to run the verification test on what appears to be the main design problem, only to find the ... » read more

A UFS Verification Closure Flow Using The Synopsys Verification Continuum Platform
By Synopsys - 11 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

It's a longstanding cliche, but it is true that “there is no silver bullet for functional verification.” No single tool or methodology can find and shoot down all the bugs in a large, complex semiconductor design. Simulation is well understood but can be slow for today's large SoCs. Emulation hardware is fast, but expensive enough that it is usually shared across a verification team. Formal... » read more

Using PCIe Real World Interface For High-Speed Hybrid Prototyping
By Synopsys - 25 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

This white paper highlights a novel approach to hybrid prototyping using a PCIe interface between the HAPS FPGA-based prototyping and the Virtualizer virtual prototyping. The use of PCIe real world interface helps to deliver a prototyping system, running fast enough to enable embedded software development and hardware-software co-validation in the shortest possible time. The hybrid prototyping ... » read more

Verdi Transaction Debug Solution: Unified Performance Analysis And Debug For Interconnect
By Synopsys - 13 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

In modern systems on chip (SoCs), where Arm AMBA protocols are intensively used as standard intellectual property (IP) interfaces, the interconnect is usually required to bridge and facilitate the communication between many different IP interfaces. The interconnect presents one of the biggest challenges of SoC verification, considering the different kinds of protocol interfaces, conversion of d... » read more
