Abstract:
This article discusses the experience and evaluates the capability of using free, open and internal proprietary EDA tools in the billon gates SoC verification flow initially based on the commercial EDA of the “Big 3”. Article suggests an approach to assessing the suitability of a particular EDA tools for a certain stage of the verification flow based on a formal stage description and requirements for the tool. It presents our internal tools implemented in the company, which are used as an alternative to commercial tools or as unique solutions. Based on the proposed approach, the analysis of the existing automation tools from the point of view of the applicability in the SoC verification flow was carried out.
