OCP-IP Releases OCP Debug Socket Specification 2.0
BEAVERTON, Ore., Mar 26, 2013 -- Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP) has released the OCP Debug Socket Specification 2.0. The latest version now includes support for Low Power Signaling as well as Cache Coherence signals that are available in the current version of the OCP specification. This allows the most complex processors to be debugged with exact visibility of traffic to or from the OCP bus on all levels of transactions, including all transfer states.
The additional debug signal interface definitions provided by the OCP Debug Socket Specification 2.0 ensure OCP remains the most complete and advanced multicore SoC socket available today. It addresses the visibility and control needed to best analyze the operation of OCP architectures and their design flows and provides a common set of debug options with consistent signal interfaces.
"With the evolution of heterogeneous Multi-Core Systems On the Chip (MC-SoC) the debug interconnection deserves special attention," said Ian Mackintosh, President of OCP-IP. "A set of standardized signaling and definitions make the debug wiring core-independent to match the OCP standard, and in doing so stimulates the development of predefined and verified debug IP blocks for quick and successful assembly of large MC-SoCs."
