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 a VCD viewer. The
license is priced at € 800 (US$ 1130) and is available. The streamer
hardware is priced at € 600 (US$ 850).
