New from IKOS Systems, HDL Link enables customers to migrate their HDL testbench environment from the workstation to the VStation emulator providing substantial productivity gains. HDL Link gives customers the ability to use their existing testbench environment with IKOS' VStation emulators bringing these two environments closer together. HDL Link supports cosimulation with the industry's leading simulators including NC-Verilog, Verilog-XL from Cadence Design Systems and VCS from Synopsys.
In addition, HDL Link can be used for cosimulation with behavioural blocks or IP, allowing users to start verification on the VStation emulator before all design blocks are ready.
Sophisticated design analysis and debug capabilities give users 100% visibility to all signals at any time.
Further, users can issue breakpoints from the command line or the test bench, examine signals on the fly, change signals, and continue simulation without having to recompile.
A single graphical environment for viewing design and test bench signals enhances ease of use and delivers a real productivity boost to today's SoC designers.
HDL Link is currently available for early adopters.
The product will be available for general use in calendar Q3 2001 for an incremental price of $25,000 (US).
Entry level VStation-5M and 15M pricing begins at $495,000 and $940,000, respectively (US).
