SmartDV Supports RISC-V Movement with TileLink Verification IP for RISC-V Based Systems
First Verification IP Solutions Provider with Smart TileLink VIP Model
SAN JOSE, CALIF –– February 6, 2019 –– SmartDV™ Technologies, the Proven and Trusted choice for Verification IP, today introduced TileLink VIP to verify the TileLink chip-scale interconnect standard, an open-source, high-performance and scalable cache-coherent fabric for RISC-V based system on chip (SoC) designs.
In making the announcement, SmartDV becomes the first VIP solutions provider to offer a smart way to verify the TileLink fabric and reduce verification time. According to Deepak Kumar Tala, chairman of SmartDV, “60-80% of a project’s resources are spent on verification to ensure design success. Given the enthusiasm for RISC-V and TileLink’s importance within the open source RISC-V ISA, investing in a VIP solution for TileLink was an easy decision.”
SmartDV’s TileLink VIP helps speed the implementation and comprehensive verification of TileLink as the interconnect fabric for RISC-V or alternative architecture SoC projects. It is fully compliant with standard TileLink specifications and offers faster testbench development, more complete verification with built- in coverage analysis and simplified results analysis. An easy-to-use command interface simplifies testbench control and master/slave configurations. TileLink VIP runs on the most popular simulation environments, such as Synopsys VCS®, Cadence’s Incisive® Enterprise Simulator and ModelSim ® and Questa® from Mentor, a Siemens Business.
Features include support for TileLink uncached lightweight and heavy weight and TileLink cached conformance levels, as well as cache-coherent shared memory and FIFO memory and constrained randomization of protocol attributes. It has the ability to inject errors during data transfer and configure the width of all signals. A rich set of configuration parameters control TileLink functionality. With on-the-fly protocol and data checking, it notifies the testbench of significant events –– transactions, warnings, timing and protocol violations, for example.
TileLink VIP comes with a complete test suite to test every feature of the TileLink specification. Additional support features include separate address/control and data phases, and the ability to issue multiple outstanding transactions, out-of-order transaction completion, burst transfers, atomic operation and hint operation. A rich set of configuration parameters controls TileLink functionality.
SmartDV will demonstrate the TileLink VIP and other smart VIP solutions in booth #801 during DVCon Monday, February 25, through Wednesday, February 27, at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, Calif.
