Verification expert Dr. Lauro Rizzatti debunks the myths surrounding the two tool classes of HAV platforms—hardware emulators and FPGA prototypes. What are hardware emulators and FPGA prototypes? Who ...

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing enhances the verification of ECUs by simulating real-world conditions using digital twins. The key benefits of an integrated HIL testing platform include accelerated ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

The increasing complexity of embedded systems within battery management necessitates robust testing methodologies that ...

Bermondsey Electronics, an embedded systems design and test house, has witnessed first-hand the many trials and tribulations engineers have encountered when testing hardware and software during design ...

A technical paper titled “LLM4DV: Using Large Language Models for Hardware Test Stimuli Generation” was published by researchers at University of Cambridge, lowRISC, and Imperial College London. “Test ...

Synopsys has expanded its hardware-assisted verification portfolio with the introduction of the HAPS-200 prototyping and ZeBu-200 emulation systems. These new systems utilize the AMD Versal Premium ...

Moore's Law continues to drive chip complexity and performance to new highs, while stressing and periodically “breaking” existing design flows. Fortunately for consumers of electronic design ...

The Open Verification Methodology (OVM) has been available for download under the Apache 2.0 license since January 2008. Signs of an ecosystem have gradually emerged since then. As just one example, ...

The practice of semiconductor verification has changed substantially over the years, and will continue to do so. The skillset needed for functional verification 20 years ago is hardly recognizable as ...
