With the increasing application of FPGAs and the increase in FPGA capacity and functions, FPGA verification methods and tools have become increasingly important. The complexity of FPGA verification requires us to have a professional verification team and use professional verification tools. This online seminar will start with an introduction to the basic functions of the verification tool ModelSim. Through the introduction of ModelSim installation and usage skills, we will master the useful functions and skills of ModelSim and complete the overall design and verification of FPGA projects more efficiently.
As FPGA designs become more complex, FPGA vendors are improving the efficiency of FPGA designers by providing tools and methodologies for IP and chip design that allow designers to work at a higher level. This increased productivity can translate into faster time to market in terms of design. This is largely because verification is a very important step in FPGA project work. It is well known that more time is spent on verification on FPGA projects than on any other task, including placement and routing, design, synthesis, timing closure, etc. The effectiveness and quality of verification are critical to the success of the project. This improvement in technology and methodology can help FPGA engineers use advanced verification technology to speed up FPGA development and achieve higher quality designs.
Mentor Hardware Accelerator Field Application Engineer
Responsible for Veloce after-sales technical support, technical support for FPGA simulation and other tools. More than 10 years of FPGA design/verification experience.
ModelSim is a simulation and debugging tool of Mentor's verification solution. It can speed up the verification time of complex FPGA and SoC designs. It is compatible with simulation libraries of multiple mainstream FPGA manufacturers and has been integrated into their development platforms. It also supports assertion-based design and debugging, test platform automation, transaction-level modeling, unified coverage database, requirement-traceable verification management, UVM verification methodology and many other verification technologies, laying a solid foundation for improving verification efficiency.
