Why the Veloce De-ICE App?
In-Circuit Emulation gives users confidence by allowing the execution of real-world scenarios before tapeout. However, ICE base flows require physical hardware setup during emulation execution. This restricts the portability of design databases and limits collaboration, visibility and accessibility among team members. Veloce De-ICE overcomes ICE-based debug challenges by delivering:
- A deterministic, repeatable debugging environment
- A scalable, shareable and flexible emulation environment
- Ability to leverage advanced debugging capabilities within the Veloce Ecosystem
Determinism and repeatability
Determinism and repeatability in SoC verification runs reduce uncertainties, shorten the debugging process and help identify intricate design issues earlier.
Eliminate the physical hardware setup
Introduces a level of flexibility and accessibility previously unavailable. Design databases become portable and simplify collaboration.
Enable advanced debug capabilities
Enable Veloce features like Assertions, Coverage, Power Analysis and Codelink, which are capabilities not feasible in an ICE setup.
Key attributes
A comprehensive solution
The Veloce De-ICE App empowers engineers to instill determinism and repeatability into dynamic ICE setups, ensuring consistent and dependable SoC verification runs cycle-by-cycle. By seamlessly enabling simulation debug features within the dynamic ICE environment, the De-ICE App opens the door to advanced debugging methodologies, including assertion-based verification and protocol monitoring.
Eliminate physical dependency
The Veloce De-ICE App eliminates the dependency on a physical ICE hardware setup during replay, rendering the design databases portable and simplifying collaboration. It introduces a level of flexibility and accessibility previously unavailable, liberating engineers from the constraints of specific hardware configurations and fostering a more agile and collaborative SoC development environment.
