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:
Determinism and repeatability in SoC verification runs reduce uncertainties, shorten the debugging process and help identify intricate design issues earlier.
Introduces a level of flexibility and accessibility previously unavailable. Design databases become portable and simplify collaboration.
Enable Veloce features like Assertions, Coverage, Power Analysis and Codelink, which are capabilities not feasible in an ICE setup.
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.
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.
