Advanced verification specialist EVE has selected silicon- and product-design-services company eInfochips to expand and complement the internally developed synthesizable transactor library for EVE's ZeBu emulation platform. The AMBA-AHB (advanced microprocessor bus architecture/advanced high-performance bus) transactor for EVE's ZeBu- UF/XL ASIC emulators complies with the AMBAAHB 2.0 protocol. Users can employ it to verify AHB-slave designs on the ZeBu platform. “Our partnership with EVE will enable eInfochips to extend its functional verification expertise to hardware-acceleratorbased verification,” says Tapan Joshi, vice president of marketing at eInfochips. “We look forward to developing a library of transactor IP [intellectual property] for various domains jointly with EVE and using this expertise to provide verification and validation services to our customers, ensuring successful tapeout.”
EVE has previously announced that it will offer a catalog of peripheral-IP components to address the wireless; graphics, video, and multimedia; networking; and embedded-processor markets. These components- synthesizable memory models, hardware bridges, and synthesizable transactorswork with ZeBu. Transactors interface with a testbench written in C/C++, SystemC, or SystemVerilog at a high level of abstraction to a design under test mapped in ZeBu and mimic a specific protocol. EVE based the high-speed components on the ZeBu application-programming interface and will map them onto the RTB (reconfigurable testbench), EVE's proprietary and patented technology.
