One of the key goals for USB4 is to retain compatibility with the existing ecosystem of USB3.2, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt  products, and the resulting connection scales to the best mutual capability of the devices being connected. USB4 is designed to work with older versions of USB and Thunderbolt . USB4 Fabric support high throughput interconnects of 10 Gbps (for Gen 2) and 20 Gbps (for Gen 3) and supports Thunderbolt 3-compatible rates of 10.3125 Gbps (for Gen 2) and 20.625 Gbps (for Gen 3). It becomes very important to verify the Thunderbolt  backward compatibility with the designs. Though the support of USB4 Interoperability with Thunderbolt  3 (TBT3) is optional in USB4 host or USB4 peripheral device and required USB4 Hub and USB4 Based Dock but it is very essential to work in the existing ecosystem. 

Few Main features of USB4 Interoperability with Thunderbolt  3 (TBT3) Systems

• Support for Bi-Directional Pins & Retimers: TBT3 Active Cables can contain two bidirectional Re-timers which have the capability to send AT Responses on its RX channel. Router connected directly to such Retimer needs to support A Router that is connected directly to a bidirectional Re-timer shall support reception of Transactions on both TX and RX channels. 

• Bounce Mechanism: This feature is used by Router to access the Register Space of a Cable Re-timer that can only be accessed by its Link Partner.
• Asymmetric Negotiation: The Router which connects with Cable Retimers needs to follow Asymmetric TxFFE in Phase 5 of Lane Initialization. 
• USB4 Link Transitions: In TBT3 mode, the configuration of two independent Single Lane Links can be used non-transient state or Single Lane Link just using the Lane1 Adapter.

Cadence has a mature USB4 Verification IP solution that can help in the verification of USB4 designs with TBT3. Cadence has taken an active part in the Cairo group that defined the USB4 specification and has created a comprehensive Verification IP that is being used by multiple members. If you plan to have a USB4-compatible design, you can reduce the risk of adopting new technology by using our proven and mature USB4 Verification IP. Please contact your Cadence local account team, for more details.

In SoC development, the verification cycle is a crucial phase that ensures products meet their specifications and function correctly. However, the complexity of modern SoC projects, with their constant data flow, multiple validation teams working in parallel, and tight schedules, presents significant challenges. This article explores these challenges and introduces Verisium Manager as a solution that embodies the 'One Tool Fits All' concept. This means that Verisium Manager is designed to handle all aspects of the verification process for SoC development, from planning to coverage analysis to regression testing, thereby addressing the complex needs of SoC verification.

The Hurdles in Traditional Validation Cycles

 A typical validation process involves planning, coverage analysis, and regression testing. This complexity is compounded by using separate tools for each activity, leading to multiple control environments, APIs, and databases, not to mention the array of tool owners. Such fragmentation results in constant data transfer and translation between systems, from the planning tool to the coverage analysis tool and then to the regression testing tool. This continuous movement of data causes delays, system instability, poor user experiences, and, ultimately, a dip in the quality of the validation process.

The use of multiple platforms leads to inefficiency and reduced productivity. What's needed is a unified system that can streamline the workflow, simplify the verification process, and enhance its effectiveness.

Envisioning the Ideal Solution: Verisium Manager

 The cornerstone of an efficient validation cycle is integration and simplicity. The ideal solution is a singular platform that consolidates planning, coverage analysis, and regression management into one smooth, unified process. Verisium Manager emerges as this much-needed solution, encompassing all the functionalities necessary to streamline the validation process. Its comprehensive nature instills confidence in its ability to handle all aspects of the verification cycle. It can be fully customized to address and enforce any validation methodology and can facilitate smooth integration into any customer environment.

Features that stand out in Verisium Manager include: 

• Unified Workflow: It acts as a single cockpit from which all activities are orchestrated, ensuring the validation teams' work is uninterrupted and seamlessly integrated.
• Customization and Integration: Verisium Manager supports customizing test-plan structures and mapping results per project, ensuring a perfect fit for various project requirements. Its ability to smoothly integrate into the project's environment and compute platforms is unparalleled.
• Support for Continuous Updates and Migration: The tool accommodates constant updates to project data and supports the migration of legacy data, ensuring that no historical data is lost in the transition to a new system.

Addressing Project-Specific Needs

 Verisium Manager recognizes diversity in different projects and offers project-specific solutions, including:

 Enforcing Project Test-Plan Structures and Attributes: It supports and enforces each project's unique test-plan structure and mapping guidelines.

• Unified Data Views and Measurements: Verisium Manager promotes a unified view of data across all teams and enforces unified measurements, ensuring consistency and clarity in the validation process.
• Enabling Project-Specific Actions and Integrations: The tool is designed to support project-specific actions directly from its graphical user interface and allows for smooth integration with in-house databases, dashboards, and the project execution stack.

Verisium Manager is the epitome of efficiency in software/hardware validation. Its differentiating features, such as support for customization, unified data view, and comprehensive coverage and regression requirements, make it an indispensable tool for any validation team looking to elevate their workflow.
