The MathWorks today
announced the availability of EDA Simulator Link DS, which provides
a cosimulation link between MATLAB and Simulink and the Synopsys VCS MX
functional verification solution.
EDA Simulator Link DS enables reuse of system-level models as test
benches for hardware description language (HDL) and register transfer
level (RTL) implementations by coordinating the execution of Synopsys’
VCS MX solution with MATLAB code and Simulink models. This integration
accelerates functional verification by automating stimulus and response
generation between the two environments, reducing manual recoding of
test benches, and providing enhanced debugging capabilities to system
and verification engineers. Engineers using Synopsys’
VCS MX functional verification solution can now use EDA Simulator Link
DS to improve product quality and reduce verification time and costs.
Key Features in EDA Simulator Link DS
EDA Simulator Link DS lets design, verification, and system engineers
use MATLAB and Simulink to efficiently model, analyze, and verify HDL
and RTL implementations. Key features include:
Full VHDL, Verilog, and mixed-language cosimulation support
MATLAB test bench capability, enabling the use of MATLAB code to
stimulate HDL code and check its response
MATLAB component capability, enabling simulation of MATLAB code in
place of entities not yet coded in HDL
User-selectable shared-memory and TCP/IP-socket communications modes
Interactive or batch mode cosimulation, debugging, testing, and
verification of HDL
Pricing and Availability
EDA Simulator Link DS is available immediately. U.S. list prices start
at $2,000.
