Questa Visualizer Debug Environment is SystemVerilog class-based and UVM-aware to speed up overall debug time, even on today’s most complex SoCs and FPGAs. Siemens Questa Visualizer Debug Environment 2024.1_2 Linux Tested Picture The changing landscape of debug For years the process of ASIC and FPGA design and verification debug consisted primarily of comprehending the structure and source code of the design with waveforms showing activity over time, based on testbench stimulus. Today, functional verification is exponentially complex with the emergence of new layers of design requirements (beyond basic functionality) that did not exist years ago; for example, clocking requirements, security requirements, safety requirements, and requirements associated with hardware-software interactions. Given these complex interactions, effective debug often demands experts that are...

ALINT-PRO is a design verification solution for RTL code written in VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog, which is focused on verifying coding style and naming conventions, RTL and post-synthesis simulation mismatches, smooth and optimal synthesis, correct FSM descriptions, avoiding problems on further design stages, clocks and reset tree issues, CDC, RDC, DFT, and coding for portability and reuse. The solution performs static analysis based on RTL and SDC™ source files uncovering critical design issues early in the design cycle, which in turn reduces design signoff time dramatically. Running ALINT-PRO before the RTL simulation and logic synthesis phases prevents design issues spreading into the downstream stages of design flow and reduces the number of iterations required to finish the design. Single Framework...
