Verisity and CyberTec Meet the Demand for Verification Reuse
CyberTec Offers AMBA APB and PowerPC MPC8xx eVCs Developed Exclusively for Verisity's Specman Elite
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2002--Verisity,
Ltd. (Nasdaq:VRST - news), the leading provider of functional verification
automation, and CyberTec today announced the availability of an AMBA
APB and PowerPC MPC8xx eVCs(TM) (e Verification Components) developed
through Verisity's Verification Alliance Program(TM). eVCs are
reusable plug-and-play verification components for standard interfaces
based on Verisity's high-level verification language, e. The APB eVC
from CyberTec contains all of the verification components for the AMBA
APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus) portion of an ARM based SOC design and
dramatically cuts the time it takes to create the system's
verification environment. The AMBA APB eVC can be used in conjunction
with the ARM AHB eVC offered by Verisity. The PowerPC MPC8xx eVC can
be configured as multiple masters, slaves and protocol checkers for
designs incorporating the PowerPC 8xx series processors, such as
MPC823, MPC850 or MPC860.
"We are delighted to see CyberTec leveraging their extensive
experience in ARM and PowerPC based SOC verification using Specman
Elite(TM). The addition of these two new eVCs will offer our customer
base valuable verification IP to ramp up their verification
environments and hit those interface bugs quicker," said Dave Tokic,
director of strategic marketing for Verisity.
"We have completed many embedded processor projects which utilize
ARM cores and system level verification using the MPC8xx PowerPC
family," said Hiroshi Nonoshita, director of Engineering for CyberTec.
"It seemed natural for us to leverage our Specman Elite and CPU core
knowledge to develop these reusable verification environments. In
addition to having interfaces to Verilog and VHDL simulators, all of
our eVCs have been verified with SystemC using Specman Elite as the
verification engine."
About AMBA APB eVC
The AMBA APB eVC is a configurable e verification environment
suitable for any device-under-test (DUT) that contains an APB bus. The
APB eVC includes APB master and slave bus functional models, which can
emulate master and slave behavior. The APB eVC supports the generation
and injection of bus traffic as a master. The APB eVC also includes
bus protocol checker and coverage collection of bus traffic. This APB
eVC can be used for a single APB device (master and slave) and/or a
system-level APB environment with several APB devices.
The APB eVC is available immediately on all platforms supported by
Verisity's Specman Elite.
About PowerPC MPC8xx eVC
The PowerPC MPC8xx eVC is a configurable e verification
environment suitable for any device-under-test (DUT) that contains a
PowerPC 8xx bus interface. The MPC8xx eVC includes MPC8xx master and
slave bus functional models, which can emulate master and slave
behavior. The MPC8xx eVC supports the generation and injection of bus
traffic as a master with arbitration for multi-master systems. The
MPC8xx eVC also includes bus protocol checker and coverage collection
of bus traffic. This MPC8xx eVC can be used for a single MPC8xx device
(master and slave) and/or a system-level MPC8xx environment with
several MPC8xx devices.
The MPC8xx eVC is available immediately on all platforms supported
by Verisity's Specman Elite.
