Develop for Debugability – Part 1

Debugging is the most time-critical activity of any verification engineer. Finding a bug is very often a combination of having a good hunch, experience, and the quality of testbench code that you need to analyze. Since having a good hunch and experience is something everyone needs to acquire for themselves...

Using the ‘restore -append_logs' Feature

As described in Specman Advanced Option appnote , Specman Elite supports dynamic load and reseeding. This allows the user to run the simulation up to a certain point (often until right after reset) and save the simulation. The user can then restore the simulation and run many different tests either by...

Using pli_access for Stubless Indexed Ports

Indexed ports are used to access composite HDL objects in SystemVerilog (SV). Their most frequent use is to access SV multi-dimensional arrays by defining a simple indexed port and accessing the array elements with the port indexes. Ports in general, and Indexed ports specifically, are static objects...

Designer View – Using Metric-Driven Verification for Mixed-Signal IP

Can digital verification techniques such as verification planning, coverage metrics, and assertion checking be applied to the analog/mixed-signal world? Yes, according to Pierluigi Daglio, analog verification engineer at STMicroelectronics. In a recorded presentation at the Cadence web site, he shows...

A “Reflection” on Chip-Level Debugging with Specman/e and SimVision

Last week, a favorite customer of mine called me in a panic, just days from tape-out of a large multimedia SoC. After a minor change in their RTL code their Specman testbench started crashing, even though the e code wasn't changed. Could I help? Knowing that this customer compiles their e code, and...

User Presentation: Adapting a Specman “e” Simulation Testbench to Emulation

When Intel engineers were asked to verify one of the company's largest Many Integrated Core (MIC) designs, they faced a quandary. On one hand, they wanted the visibility and debug features provided by their Specman e language simulation environment. But they also wanted the much faster speeds provided...

Constrained Random Test Generation In e [IEEE 1647], Ernie * Duracell ≈ Infinity Minus

Ernie & Duracell "I feel great" - long pause - "I feel great, I feel great". 6 weeks later: "I feel great, I feel great, I feel great" - pause - "I feel great". I hear this sound coming out of my son's room. What is going on in my house? Is there such a...

My Clark Kent Moment – How I Discovered Aspect Oriented Programming in e (IEEE 1647)

Growing up on VHDL, moving on to Verilog and then to SystemVerilog, I eventually discovered e (IEEE 1647) Initially I thought: "What is the fuss all about?" While exploring the language during the development of the cowbell videos , it hit me -- I started to recognize the power of Aspect Oriented...
