software debugging

The growing verification challenge, and how to address it by coordinating multiple debug strategies.

The value of the emulation market has almost doubled in the last four years as the technique becomes increasingly valuable to hardware/software co-verification.

GateRocket's RocketDrive facilitates integration of an FPGA into an HDL simulator to provide a "native" execution of a design on its target FPGA device. The companion RocketVision tool provides software-debugging capabilities that directly identify and enable the rapid resolution of bugs. This article considers the use of these tools in a "device native" verification and [...]
