nTE Transaction Extractor
The Novas nTE™ Transaction Extractor automatically extracts transaction-level data from signal-level data for standard bus and interface protocols using Spiratech's Cohesive Profiler technology. nTE transforms the signal-level simulation results into transaction-level abstraction data so that you can view and understand the design's behavior at a higher level in Debussy™ nWave and the Verdi™ Automated Debug System. You can further analyze the transaction behavior in the nESL™ System-Level Debug module.
Protocols currently supported:
AMBA_AHB
AMBA_AHB_lite
AMBA_APB
AMBA_AXI
MPEG2_TS
OCP_IP
PCIe
UART
USB 2.0 [High-speed (480Mb/s) mode
only]
For information on support for additional protocols, please contact us.
nTE takes signal-level simulation results and generates a transaction-level Fast Signal Database (FSDB) trace file based on standard protocols. This higher-level data can then be viewed and analyzed with Novas' tools.
