EDAptability:
100 % RTL @ Speed FPGA debugger
Groundbreaking
technology opens new ways for signal visibility
MUNICH,
Germany,
October, 4th, 2007 - EDAptability today announced the availability of
its new tool TotalScope. It can be seen as the most advanced debug
approach for FPGAs and ASICs. Like no other comparable methodologies,
it combines RTL elaboration, RTL modification, RTL model extraction and
simulation techniques.
The tool
offers 100 % RTL signal
visibility and at speed debugging, so you can have freely running
clocks without the need to slow them down for debugging. No
re-synthesis is needed for debugging and the initially implemented
general debug structure has no impact on timing or on the combinatorial
logic. Only one fraction of the design is post-simulated starting from
a time point shortly before the bug or the timezone of interest, even
if the test already runs for hours before. The signals with their
original names and types can be viewed with EDAptability's VCD viewer
or any other third party VCD viewer. The local post-simulation is done
by the integrated simulator.
The
technology can use
standard Altera or Xilinx cables without the need to purchase
additional hardware. Alternatively, EDAptability's new "streamer and
cable" hardware enables direct data streaming and complex on-FPGA
memories become obsolete. The streamer also functions as Altera and
Xilinx FPGA download cable. The streamer capabilities can also be used
as a data link btw. the FPGA and the workstation/PC.
Pricing
and Availability
EDAptability's
SynEDA
4.0 TotalScope feature includes the 100 % RTL @ speed FPGA debugger and
