Riviera-PRO from Aldec features UVM transaction-level
visual debugging
Aldec Inc. has expanded support for the Universal Verification
Methodology (UVM) with comprehensive transaction-level visual
debugging. Aldec says the new capabilities for transactions
recording and visualization enable engineers to utilize
Riviera-PRO 2011.06 advanced debugging infrastructure without
having to manage basic mechanisms for transactions handling.
"Our UVM 1.0 implementation combines the proven debugging
capabilities of Riviera-PRO with an industry-standard approach
to building reusable and expandable verification environments,
providing a more natural way for engineers to comprehend
and debug sophisticated verification environments, "
said Dave Rinehart, Vice President, Aldec Inc.
Riviera-PRO allows analyzing transaction data using the
existing Waveform Viewer tool together with the new Transaction
Data Viewer that represents transactions as a spreadsheet
offering navigation and filtering capabilities. All the
debugging tools are well integrated with each other and
allow for efficient analysis of transaction-level information,
including the cross probing and viewing of transaction attributes,
relations, and linked signals. Based on such a broad range
of information about the interactions between test bench
and design under test, Riviera-PRO users have extensive
visibility into their verification environments, says Aldec.
Availability:
The new UVM 1.0 transaction-level debugging capabilities
are immediately available with the latest release of Riviera-PRO
2011.06 at no cost to customers with a valid maintenance
contract and SystemVerilog verification support.
