Cadence Verisium Debug Introduces Verisium Debug App Store

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.

Training Webinar: Fast Track RTL Debug with the Verisium Debug Python App Store

As a verification engineer, you’re surely looking for ways to automate the debugging process. Have you developed your own scripts to ease specific debugging steps that tools don’t offer? Working with scripts locally and manually is challenging—so is reusing and organizing them. What if there was a way to create your own app with the required functionality and register it with the tool? The answer to that question is “Yes!” The Verisium Debug Python App Store lets you instantly add additional features and capabilities to your Verisium Debug Application using Python Apps that interact with Verisium Debug via the Python API. Join me, Principal Education Application Engineer Bhairava Prasad, for this Training Webinar and discover the Verisium Debug Python App Store. The app store allows you to search for existing apps, learn about them, install or uninstall them, and even customize existing apps.

Path mapping for C Firmware source files when debugging

Hi,

i am compiling firmware under Windows transfer the binaries and the sources to Linux to simulate/debug there. The problem is that the paths in the DWARF debug info of the .elf file are the absolute Windows paths as set by the compiler so they are useless under Linux. Is it possible to configure mappings of these paths to the Linux paths when simulating/debugging like with e.g. GDB (https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Source-Path.html#index-set-substitute_002dpath)?

thx,

Peter

Formal Verification Approach for I2C Slave

Hello,

I am new in formal verification and I have a concept question about how to verify an I2C Slave block.

I think the response should be valid for any serial interface which needs to receive information for several clocks before making an action.

The the protocol description is the following: 

I have a serial clock (SCL), Serial Data Input (SDI) and Serial Data Output (SDO), all are ports of the I2C Slave block.

The protocol looks like this:

The first byte which is received by the slave consists in 7bits of sensor address and the 8th bit is the command 0/1 Write/Read.

After the first 8 bits, the slave sends an ACK (SDO = 1 for 1 clock) if the sensor address is correct.

Lets consider only this case, where I want to verify that the slave responds with an ACK if the sensor address is correct.

The only solution I found so far was to use the internal buffer from the block which saves the received bits during 8 clocks. The signal is called shift_s.

I also needed to use internal chip state (state_s) and an internal counter (shift_count_s).

Instead of doing an direct check of the SDO(sdo_o) depending on SDI (sdi_d_i), I used the internal shift_s register.

My question is if my approach is the correct one or there is a possibility to write the verification at a blackbox level.

Below you have the 2 properties: first checks connection from SDI to internal buffer, the second checks the connection between internal buffer and output.

property prop_i2c_sdi_store;
  @(posedge sclk_n_i)
  $past(i2c_bl.state_s == `STATE_RECEIVE_I2C_ADDR)
    |-> i2c_bl.shift_s == byte'({ $past(i2c_bl.shift_s), $past(sdi_d_i)});
endproperty
APF_I2C_CHECK_SDI_STORE: assert property(prop_i2c_sdi_store);

property prop_i2c_sensor_addr(sens_addr_sel, sens_addr);
@(posedge sclk_n_i) (i2c_bl.state_s == `STATE_RECEIVE_I2C_ADDR) && (i2c_addr_i == sens_addr_sel) && (i2c_bl.shift_count_s == 7)
  ##1 (i2c_bl.shift_s inside {sens_addr, sens_addr+1}) |-> sdo_o;
endproperty
APF_I2C_CHECK_SENSOR_ADDR0: assert property(prop_i2c_sensor_addr(0, `I2C_SENSOR_ADDRESS_A0));
APF_I2C_CHECK_SENSOR_ADDR1: assert property(prop_i2c_sensor_addr(1, `I2C_SENSOR_ADDRESS_A1));
APF_I2C_CHECK_SENSOR_ADDR2: assert property(prop_i2c_sensor_addr(2, `I2C_SENSOR_ADDRESS_A2));
APF_I2C_CHECK_SENSOR_ADDR3: assert property(prop_i2c_sensor_addr(3, `I2C_SENSOR_ADDRESS_A3));

PS: i2c_addr_i is address selection for the slave (there are 4 configurable sensor addresses, but this is not important for the case).

Thank you!
