Methodology Unification with Verdi
Verdi's integrated solution unifies the debug process by providing a single environment that operates seamlessly and consistently across two orthogonal domains - verification tools and design/verification languages. This consistency reduces the learning curve and keeps productivity high as engineers move to new projects using different tools and languages, and allows you to retain your investment in Verdi even as your tools and methodology change.
Integration with Established Verification Tools
Novas' open architecture allows for easy integration with both commercial and proprietary verification tools. Through an ever-expanding list of partners, Verdi provides a consistent environment with out-of-the-box support for a wide range of commonly-used commercial tools:
-
Simulators
-
Emulators and accelerators
-
Model checkers and other formal analysis engines
Unifying the Debug Methodology Flow
Novas unifies the debug flow by extending Verdi's capabilities with additional modules that support verification and analysis throughout the design flow. Extensions to Verdi include:
-
nTX - Enables extensive transaction-level capabilities for debug and analysis at higher levels of abstraction
-
nAnalyzer - Provides a single environment for analyzing design errors at the implementation level, with focus on issues related to clocks, clock trees, and timing
Support of Widely-Used Design and Verification Languages
Novas' commitment to standards guarantees support for all popular design, verification, and assertion languages in use today.
