This is the third and final article in a series about silicon validation. Part 1 described the silicon validation problem and the basic requirements of an effective and scalable solution. Part 2 ...

SystemVerilog provides an advantage in addressing the verification complexity challenge—not simply as a new language for describing complex structures, but as a platform for driving a more efficient, ...

PORTLAND, OR, May 22, 2007 -- First Silicon Solutions, a division of MIPS Technologies, Inc., has announced immediate availability of its System Navigatorâ„¢ suite of EJTAG probes and software for the ...

System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are becoming increasingly complex. Modelling, verification, and debug facilities at RTL have become quite inadequate in the face of rising design challenges.

Embedded designers put microprocessors in everyday products like cars, phones, cameras, TVs, music players, and printers, as well as the communications infrastructure, which the general public doesn’t ...

Left-shifting DFT, scalable tests from manufacturing to the field, enabling system-level tests for in-field debug.

Debug has always been a painful and unavoidable part of semiconductor design and, despite many technological advances, it remains one of the dominant tasks in chip development. At one time, most bugs ...

Systems on Chips (SoCs) are getting ever more complex. In the space of a decade, these parts have grown to feature many processors and huge amounts of software. But the best – or the worst – is yet to ...

Imagine a world without a global notion of time. Now try to find out the flight direction of an airplane with the following information: There's an e-mail from Alice that she saw the plane about two ...
