Mentor Graphics Adds MIPI Protocol Verification IP to the Questa Verification IP Library

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that
Questa® Verification IP (VIP) now supports several MIPI Alliance
specifications, including CSI, DSI and the recently announced LLI.
As a Contributor Member in MIPI Alliance, Mentor sees the
standardization of interfaces targeted for use in mobile devices as
a step forward for the industry, decreasing time to market,
reducing costs and improving interoperability. With this release of
Questa VIP, designers can now rapidly verify the correct
interpretation of several MIPI specifications. This allows less
time to be spent developing the interface logic, and more time to
be spent on the key differentiating functionality within the
design.
Questa VIP provides engineers with standard SystemVerilog
components for both UVM and OVM using a common architecture for
each across all supported protocols. This allows rapid deployment
of multiple protocols within a verification team. Test plans,
compliance tests, test sequences and protocol coverage are all
included as SV and XML source code, allowing simple re-use,
extension and debug. Questa VIP also includes a comprehensive set
of protocol checks, error injection and debug capabilities. When
combined with Questa Sim, a unique protocol stack debug solution
allows engineers to quickly trace transactions to signal activity
and, vice-versa, debug signals as transactions.
“IP verification tools are an important component in achieving
wide-spread market adoption for MIPI specifications,” said Joel
Huloux, chairman of the board of MIPI Alliance. “We are pleased to
see Mentor’s support of our well-established specifications and the
newly announced Low Latency Interface specification.”
“Today's designs rely heavily on a variety of industry standard
interfaces. To effectively verify these designs, engineers need
comprehensive, standards-based VIP. The alternatives, such as
building your own or adapting some legacy VIP, are becoming more
expensive and less practical as time goes on,” said Jason
Polychronopoulos, product manager for Questa VIP at Mentor. “Questa
VIP provides a comprehensive solution for SystemVerilog OVM and UVM
test benches. With the addition of MIPI specifications to the
existing support of popular and leading- edge standards, Mentor
continues to promote verification productivity across the industry
with both Questa VIP and the complete Questa Platform.”
Availability
Questa VIP support for MIPI protocols is available immediately
for select customers.
