Meant for C/C++ developers, So-ADE adds electronic design automation (EDA) concept knowledge to the debugger level. It automatically manipulates the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) from VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog hardware description languages, parsing for faster code development and algorithm debug with commonly used data structures.
"We're delighted that So-ADE founders created a product around our parser platform, and they have our full support," notes Michiel Ligthart, Verific's president and chief operating officer. "Today's announcement reinforces Verific's reach into a wide variety of verification segments, including analysis, emulation, simulation and synthesis."
The So-ADE debugger includes built-in support for all ASTs generated by Verific's parser platform. The debugger is able to navigate an AST from any program break point, allowing a user who may not be familiar with an AST structure to analyze it.
Compliant with netlist-level program debuggers through an application programming interface (API), it extracts netlist information directly from any debugged program and displays a schematic through its rendering engine. So-ADE facilitates stack analysis and analyzes algorithm behavioral.
"Our tool was developed to be easy to use and efficient, which is why we elected to work with Verific, a company noted for quality software, support and service," states Stephane Petithomme of So-ADE.
The EDA and field programmable gate array (FPGA) industry relies on Verific's software to serve as the front end for tools used for analysis, simulation, verification, synthesis, emulation and test of register transfer level (RTL) designs. Its Parser Platform includes support for SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL and UPF, and provides C++ and Perl APIs. Verific's software is distributed as C++ source code and compiles on all 32- and 64-bit Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems.
Verific will exhibit at the 52nd Design Automation Conference (DAC) in booth (#2714) June 8-June 10 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco. Information about DAC can be found at: www.dac.com
