RocketVision is an advanced debugging package that delivers additional value from your RocketDrive system by providing your simulator with full visibility into the FPGA hardware.
RocketVision's powerful diagnosis capability enables you to automatically determine differences between your intent and the behavior inside the FPGA as they occur.
The RocketVision software automatically inserts test points at any level of the design hierarchy with minimal overhead without requiring additional test pins on the FPGA's I/O.
With RocketVision you can quickly trace back to the root cause of your FPGA test failures and shave weeks off the system-level debugging process.
Once a bug is discovered, RockeVision enables you to "patch" your code so you may continue on to resolve the next bug.
RocketVision on Your Desktop:
| Feature |
Benefit |
|
| Provides full signal-level visibility into RocketDrive FPGA while maintaining RTL net names |
Immediate confidence in the results because design elements and nets running in the FPGA maintain exactly the same names they had when they ran in the software simulator |
|
| Automates test point insertion with ultra-low overhead, typically < 1% |
Hours of time savings achieved with full-chip signal visibility without FPGA rebuilds to turn signal monitoring on and off. |
|
| Automatic diagnosis function detects differences between RTL and FPGA device |
Incredible debug productivity and significant reduction in lab debug hours because RocketVision automatically identifies differences between the RTL model and the FPGA running in RocketDrive. |
|
| Soft Patch design virtualization |
Eliminates the majority of long loops through synthesis and place and route by enabling interactive exchange of RTL and device-level design representations within the software simulator without rebuilding the FPGA. |
|
| Integrates seamlessly with your preferred simulator and debugging environment |
Project shedule protection due to rapid deployment and shallow learning curve. |
