Overview

Need to quickly understand what is going on in a new simulation environment?

Trying to figure out why the data in your UVM scoreboard doesn’t match what it was expecting?

Don’t have the visibility that you need from your overnight simulation runs?

Debug is one of the most time consuming tasks verification engineers face in the design and verification of FPGAs, IPs and SoCs.  Visualizer provides an advanced debug environment that includes many tools to help with both post-simulation and live-simulation debug.

This session will focus on live-simulation (interactive) debug, covering techniques such as:

  • Setting breakpoints and stepping through source code
  • Using the call stack to understand the current thread of execution
  • Viewing SystemVerilog class data and local variables alongside RTL signals
  • UVM testbench debug, including UVM Phases, Sequences and Registers.

What You Will Learn

  • Using breakpoints and stepping through source code to understand behavior
  • Using the call stack to understand the current thread of execution
  • How to view SystemVerilog class data and local variables alongside RTL signals
  • Techniques for UVM testbench debug, including UVM Phases, Sequences and Registers
  • How to understand testbench memory use and find memory leaks
