Mentor Graphics Delivers Emulation Solutions for the Verification of USB SuperSpeed (3.0) Products

Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), a leader in
high-performance system verification solutions, today announced
hardware and software solutions to accelerate the verification of
Universal Serial Bus (USB) SuperSpeed (3.0) products. These new
solutions, connected to a Veloce® emulator, enable designers to
test their USB SuperSpeed peripheral devices integrated on their
System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, and to develop and test their
software drivers and firmware prior to silicon being available.
The first of two new products is the iSolveTM USB SuperSpeed
(3.0) Host Controller, which has a ‘plug-and-play’ hardware
interface to the Veloce family of hardware emulators, providing a
cost-effective and efficient solution to verify USB SuperSpeed
peripherals that are part of an SoC design. This new solution adds
to the existing iSolve family of solutions for the accelerated
verification of applications such as multimedia, networking,
embedded systems, wireless, and storage devices.
Complementing the iSolve solution is a new Veloce USB 3.0 Host
Transactor, which delivers an accelerated simulation environment
for the verification of USB SuperSpeed (3.0)-compliant devices. It
generates the appropriate stimuli for the DUT, passing packets (or
transactions) of protocol data for tests. The transactor also
provides high-level Application Programming Interface (API) and
example tests to model a test environment that can exercise the
emulated USB SuperSpeed (3.0) device.
USB is a pervasive technology across a wide range of products,
with billions of devices having been created that use the protocol.
With the ever increasing demands for system-level verification of
such products, a heavy burden is placed on SoC designers who need
to verify how their USB SuperSpeed devices interact with the
software and hardware in their SoCs.
“New computer and consumer products are increasingly dependent
upon the use of the latest-generation USB SuperSpeed peripheral
devices, and design engineers are concerned with the quick and
efficient verification of software drivers and achieving compliancy
testing with an SoC having one or more USB SuperSpeed ports,” said
Jim Kenney, director of marketing, Mentor’s Emulation Division. “To
solve these challenges, we created both hardware and software
solutions for USB SuperSpeed verification, providing more
flexibility, ease-of-use, and configurable test models our
customers require for pre-silicon testing.”
Combined with the Veloce platform, the USB SuperSpeed solutions
deliver high-performance, and easy-to-use system verification
environments to develop new SoCs containing a USB SuperSpeed
peripheral device, without compromising delivery schedules. The
solution offers several key benefits:
- Industry-standard xHCI controller
provides connection to Windows or Linux-based software environment
for driver development
- Standard USB SuperSpeed (3.0) PIPE
interface to the emulated design in Veloce
- Transactor solution that provide
built-in SystemVerilog/OVM compliancy sequences used to check
emulated USB SuperSpeed device compliancy to the protocol
standard
- Compliant to USB SuperSpeed (3.0)
standard
The new USB SuperSpeed products can be used with traditional
in-circuit emulation (ICE) as well as a high-performance,
transaction-based acceleration modes of operation. The ability to
mix and match traditional ICE capabilities with high-performance,
transaction-based acceleration facilitates the smooth transition
from a simulation-centric use model to in-circuit emulation. The
solution is available for deployment at customer sites effective
immediately.
