Companies developing complex ARM-based SoC designs have to constantly keep up with evolving interface standards and proliferating protocols a recurring problem that is resource-intensive and time-consuming. Orchestrating these multiple protocols is critical to extracting maximum SoC performance a key competitive differentiator. Achieving high performance while ensuring correct protocol behavior is best addressed by a combination of transaction-based, protocol-aware verification and debug environments. Synopsys VIP coupled with the Verdi unified debug platform spans verification planning, simulation debug, coverage, HW-SW debug and emulation debug, and helps tackle this challenge end-to-end.
