Vesper, the maker of piezoelectric sensors used in microphone production and winner of CES Innovation Award 2018 raised a $23M Series B round. American Family Ventures led the investment with participation from Accomplice, Amazon Alexa Fund, Baidu, Bose Ventures, Hyperplane, Sands Capital, Shure, Synaptics, ZZ Capital and some undisclosed investors.

Vesper’s innovative sensors can be used in consumer electronics like TV remote controls, smart speakers, smartphones, intelligent sensor nodes, and hearables. The company will use the funding proceeds to scale-up its functions like mass production of its microphones and support expanded research and development, hiring, and establishing international sales offices.

The main product of Vesper is VM1000, a low noise, high range,single-ended analog output piezoelectric MEMS microphone. It consists of a piezoelectric sensor and circuitry to buffer and amplify the output.

The hot-selling product of Vesper is VM1010 with ZeroPower Listening which is the first MEMS microphone that enables voice activation to battery-powered consumer devices.

The unique selling point of Vesper’s products is they are built to operate in rugged environments that have dust and moisture.

"Vesper's ZeroPower Listening capabilities coupled with its ability to withstand water, dust, oil, and particulate contaminants enables users that have never before been possible," said Katelyn Johnson, principal of American Family Ventures. "We are excited about Vesper's quest to transform our connected world, including IoT devices."

I am attempting to use dbGetNeighbor() function inside the dynamic display HUD so that the distance to the next metal on that layer could be viewed. Think of another line in this dynamic table here... 

My SKILL code is essentially the following:

procedure(getNearestNeighborOnMetal(cv)
let((direction tmpBoundingBox)
direction = internal_function()
tmpBoundingBox = dbCreateRect(geGetEditCellView() "tmp" list(hiGetCommandPoint() hiGetCommandPoint()))
car(dbGetNeighbor(geGetEditCellView() tmpBoundingBox direction))
)
)

this returns the distance to the closest metal based on some tests.

Next, I try to register this function to work in the Dynamic Display / Info Balloon world by executing odcRegisterCustomFunc() for each and every object type (I know, absurd, but trying to debug)

In the dynamic display menu, I toggle the "Custom SKILL Function" check in layoutXL, then hit apply, then OK.

After this I find I am unable to view the changes reflected in any info balloons or in the drawing HUD (above) for this wire. I have tried replacing my function with the sample "customFunc" from the odcRegisterCustomFunc() documentation and was still unable to produce any new output.

Any help diagnosing the use of this feature would be very much appreciated

Verisium Debug, the Cadence unified debug platform, offers a variety of debugging capabilities, including RTL debug, UVM testbench debug, UPF debug, and DMS debug. From IP to SoC level debug, the user can take the benefits of the rich debugging features to reduce the time for debug.

Not only the common and advanced debug features, Verisium Debug also provides Python-based interface API, which enables capabilities allowing users to customize functions with Verisium Debug Python API to access from design, waveform databases and add functions to Verisium Debug’s GUI for visualization purposes. With Verisium Debug’s Python API, users can turn repetitive works into automatic programs or reduce efforts to create in-house utilities with well-established infrastructure from Verisium Debug.

Here is an example of how the user uses Python API to create a customized function. Users can write a Python program to extract signals in a specific design scope and report the values of the extracted signals. From Fig 1., you can understand the procedure of the traversal steps.

1. Import Python library in Verisium Debug package.
2. Setup the database for traversal.
3. Search the scope with the hierarchy information in the design DB.
4. Query the signal list and the values of the signals.
5. Print out the results.

Fig 1. Procedure of Verisium Debug Python Program

The result from the Verisium Debug Python App can be used for post-process design checking or fed into other utilities in the design flow.

The concept is very straightforward. With Verisium Debug and the Python API environment enabled, you can easily query any information that is stored in the databases of Verisium Debug. The result can be outputted in text format, or you can also use the API to display the results back to Verisium Debug’s GUI.

The Verisium Debug Python API is an important capability and resource for Verisium Debug users. To make Verisium Debug Python API easier to access, from Verisium Debug 24.10 release, Verisium Debug introduced the new Verisium Debug Python App Store.

Fig 2. Verisium Debug App Store

The Python App Store includes ready-to-use Python App examples with the availabilities of original source code documents, which help the user to understand how to start writing an app that fits their use case.

Fig 3. Example apps in Verisium Debug App Store

The Verisium Debug Python App Store can also be used by a team as an app management system. App creators can share the developed apps across teams within their companies. The in-house created apps will become easy to manage, and engineers can easily access the apps from the central location, which makes it possible for users to see the updated available Verisium Debug Apps from the Verisium Debug App Store.
