eInfochips to Design Components for US firm

Ahmedabad-based eInfochips has tied up with US-based verification specialists EVE to expand and complement the internally-developed synthesiable transactor library for EVE's ZeBu emulation platform. This move follows EVE's announcement earlier this year that it will offer a catalog of peripheral intellectual property (IP) components to address wireless, graphics, video, multimedia, networking and embedded processor markets.

These components are organised in three families -- synthesizable memory models, hardware bridges and synthesizable transactors -- and allow EVE to offer vertical solutions of its ZeBu ("zero bugs"). eInfochips will develop synthesizable transactors to support popular standard and proprietary protocols. Transactors will interface with a testbench written in C/C++/SystemC/SystemVerilog at a high level of abstraction to a design under test (DUT) mapped in ZeBu and mimic a specific protocol. Designed to provide fast execution speed, they will be based on the ZeBu application programming interface (API) and will be mapped onto the Reconfigurable Test bench (RTB), EVE's proprietary and patented technology. eInfochips is currently developing an AMBA-AHB transactor, specifically designed for EVE's ZeBu-UF/XL ASIC Emulators. The transactor, fully compliant to the AMBA AHB 2.0 protocol can be used to verify AHB-slave designs on the ZeBu platform.

"Our partnership with EVE will enable eInfochips to extend its functional verification expertise to hardware accelerator-based verification," says Tapan Joshi, vice president marketing of eInfochips. "We look forward to developing a library of transactor IP for various domains jointly with EVE, and leveraging this expertise to provide verification & validation services to our customers, ensuring successful tape-out."
