Sonics Bundles JEDA OCP Checker Into SonicsStudio
Sonics Leverages JEDA OCPchecker for Additional Model Validation
LOS ALTOS, Calif.-- May 27, 2008 -- Sonics, Inc. and JEDA Technologies today announced the interoperability of their products. The newly released SonicsStudio 4.8, Sonics’ SoC development tool, includes the JEDA OCPchecker, a SystemC based OCP compliance checker to pinpoints protocol violations under virtual platform simulation environments. SonicsStudio 4.8 users now have the option to turn on/off at runtime through their SonicsStudio interface.
JEDA OCPchecker has replaced in-house solutions. Since production deployment over one year ago, it has detected numerous corner case protocol violation bugs for the Sonics SystemC IP models and has saved a lot of time during platform debugging. “The bundling of Sonics’ solutions with JEDA OCPchecker is a real world example of how to address virtual platform debugging challenges posed by multi-sourced IP models and the complexity of a SoC. A high-quality ESL IP model is the foundation for a stable virtual platform,” said Eugene Zhang, president and CEO of JEDA Technologies, Inc. "We are pleased to work with Sonics to showcase this quality control methodology from IP to platform level; which results in speeding up virtual platform adoption in production environments."
“Identifying IP interface problems of various OCP device models is always a challenge and is quite resource intensive. We are delighted to have this debugging capability available to our field support team where our SystemC models are used in various system-level simulation environment,” said Dave O’Brien, VP SOC Solutions at Sonics. “JEDA OCPcheck helps detect protocol problems and reduce our support load, as well as, significantly shorten debugging cycles for our customers.”
