Do You Know For Sure Your RISC-V RTL Doesn’t Contain Any Surprises?
By Joseph Hupcey III - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Given the relative novelty and complexity of RISC-V RTL designs, whether you are buying a commercially supported core or downloading a popular open-source offering, there is the small but non-zero risk of unwanted surprises escaping undetected into your end-product. In order of high-to-low probability, consider: The presence of a weird-yet-entirely-possible corner-case bug Bugs “insid... » read more

Managing Today’s Advanced Vehicle Networks Design Challenges
By Brendan Morris - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Today’s automotive electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures are highly complex, with the functionality of many vehicle features distributed across multiple discrete ECUs. The ECUs, sensors and actuators are not all directly connected, and much of the data communication occurs across networks, often through gateways over several networks. Modern E/E architectures are formally organized ar... » read more

Securing Connected And Autonomous Vehicles
By Andy Gothard - 02 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Vehicles are on track to become highly sophisticated Internet of Things (IoT) devices. With the added functionality that connects vehicles to other vehicles, the infrastructure, and even pedestrians, the opportunity for hacking expands. Challenges like complexity and the burden of legacy systems further complicate the situation. The future of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) demands leve... » read more

Optimizing System-Level Connectivity In Heterogenous Automotive Packages
By Keith Felton - 04 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Keith Felton and Cristina Somma With the massive growth of electronics in the automotive sector (such as autonomous driving, electric vehicles, and safety systems), the complexity, capabilities, and volume of semiconductors is rapidly increasing the demand for greater package connectivity density. This has led to high-end IC-package solutions, such as copper pillar bumping with very fi... » read more

How Verification And Validation Can Create A Comprehensive Digital Twin To Design Tomorrow’s Self-Driving Cars Today
By Shakeel Jeeawoody - 07 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Shakeel Jeeawoody and Hieu Tran Autonomous vehicles (AV) are the future of driving – and the future might not be so far away. Optimizing the capabilities of self-driving vehicles and the environment around them could lead to a mad dash to the financial finish line for manufacturers. Who takes the checkered flag will ultimately be determined by the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of th... » read more

High-Quality Test And Embedded Analytics Are Vital For Secure SoCs
By Lee Harrison - 02 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Applications such as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security features to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement met through custom solutions. However, now that automotive and cyber-physical systems are proliferating, the requirements around secure test and monitoring are becoming mainstream. The current bes... » read more

Building A More Secure SoC
By Gajinder Panesar - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 1

SoC integrators know that a software-only chip security plan leaves devices open to attack. All that a hacker needs to do is find a way to replace key parts of the bootloader or the low-level firmware to compromise other software in the system used to support secure access. The most simple attacks come remotely over a network, and these can be patched with software upgrades. However, we see ... » read more

‘Hug The Debug’ – Before It’s Too Late
By Sumit Vishwakarma - 01 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Though the term “shift-left” originated in the software industry, its importance is often cited in the hardware (semiconductor) industry where the end-product (chip) costs are skyrocketing. The increase in cost is driven by a global chip shortage, especially in the automotive industry. Manufacturing a robust chip is a long, iterative process that may require many re-spins. Shift-left refers... » read more

Three Steps To ISO 26262 Fault Campaign Closure
By Jacob Wiltgen - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

The complexity of automotive ICs continues to grow exponentially, challenging even the most veteran teams to deliver innovative products to market while simultaneously ensuring safety through the operational life of the product. This is the purpose of safety verification. Its primary objective is to understand whether the safety architecture sufficiently prevents random failures from violati... » read more

Circuit Reliability Verification For Automotive Electronics
By Matthew Hogan - 06 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Matthew Hogan and Dina Medhat In the automotive industry, reliability and high quality are key attributes for electronic automotive systems and controls. Naturally, they are particularly crucial when developing functional safety (FuSa) solutions, where inadequate performance or product failure can lead to injury or death. When it comes to safety-related automotive electronics, ISO 26262 p... » read more
