Cadence® Incisive® Software Extensions performs advanced functional verification using the Universal Verification Methodology and provides a unified hardware/software debug environment in the SimVision debugger. By applying advanced functional verification the overall software and system quality can be improved, hardware/software integration schedules shortened, and resource costs reduced.
Features/Benefits
Unified hardware and software debug windows in a single GUI
Universal Verification Methodology testbenches make function calls, check parameter results, and measure coverage for embedded software and hardware
Supports processor models in any form (workstation-based host-code execution, Instruction Set Simulators (ISS), RTL models, hardware acceleration and emulation, and prototype silicon)
Supports design models in RTL or SystemC simulation, RTL acceleration, or silicon
More efficient verification closure using the vPlan and Metric Driven Verification of hardware/software
