Check out our latest tutorial video for ALINT-PRO. ? ‘Console: Command Line Policies Waivers’ guides you through the options that are available within the ALINT-PRO GUI and which can also be modified at the command line using specific "project.policy" and "project.waiver" commands. ? Access the video here https://lnkd.in/enK3gKWt ? If you are not currently using ALINT-PRO but would like to put the tool through its paces, you can request a free evaluation license for a fully functional version here https://lnkd.in/eQTWVbSK #ALINTPRO #codequality #coding #debugging #designverification #designrulechecks #EDA #FPGA #FPGAdesign #FPGAdevelopment #hdl #linting #rtldesign #SystemVerilog #Verilog #VHDL

This Thursday’s not-to-be-missed webinar we will show you – through practical examples - how #linting can improve code quality, thus preventing surprises later in your design flow and making design reuse easier. ? Linting tools analyze #HDL code against hundreds of industry-proven design rules, covering syntax, naming conventions, synthesizability, and performance optimizations. ? They also help detect clock domain crossing (CDC) issues, reset tree problems, and RTL-to-synthesis mismatches: errors that often remain invisible in functional simulations but can cause failures in #FPGA lab testing. ? Join us on Thursday March 13 at either 16:00 CEST or 11:00 PST. Both sessions will be live and include a Q&A. ? See the full agenda and register here https://lnkd.in/gBKRZfgf ?

As our user base continues to grow, we will be sharing more of our tutorial videos: starting with our series of ALINT-PRO tutorial videos (the basics), to which we have added a new video showing how our Active-HDL tool offers the design rule checking capabilities of ALINT-PRO directly from within the tool through unit linting. ? You can access the videos below or through our advice-rich Resources Center, which also contains recordings of webinars we have held on ALINT-PRO ?https://lnkd.in/ezBWJw2c ? Also, why not try ALINT-PRO for yourself? You can request a free evaluation license for a fully functional evaluation version of the tool here: https://lnkd.in/eQTWVbSK ?

Undetected RTL coding issues can and often do lead to costly design iterations and unexpected failures late in the development cycle. ? Advanced #linting is a powerful static analysis technique that detects bugs, inefficiencies, and structural issues in RTL code long before they can manifest in hardware. ? Linting tools analyze #HDL code against hundreds of industry-proven design rules, covering syntax, naming conventions, synthesizability, and performance optimizations. They also help detect clock domain crossing (CDC) issues, reset tree problems, and RTL-to-synthesis mismatches: errors that often remain invisible in functional simulations but can cause failures in FPGA lab testing. ? Join us for a live webinar – with Q&A – at either 16:00 CET or 11:00 PST on March 13. In the webinar we will explore the key benefits and best practices of advanced linting for robust and efficient design development. Through practical examples, we will demonstrate how linting can improve code quality, enhance design reuse, and prevent late-stage surprises. ?

DO-254 establishes a rigorous, requirements-based process for the development of FPGA designs and it has a strong focus on safety, reliability, and regulatory adherence. ? The DO-254 process includes essential steps such as capturing verifiable requirements, developing traceable design elements, ensuring high-quality RTL code, and conducting comprehensive verification. ? To offer advice and guidance on the subject of designing for DO-254 compliance, we recently co-presented two webinars with ConsuNova, Inc. EU and presented a third webinar ourselves. ? Recordings of all three are now available online and we recommended the following viewing order: ? Navigating COTS-IP in DO-254 – Strategies for Safe and Efficient FPGA Design. https://lnkd.in/ev2Z5d7m ? Mastering SoC Design and Verification for DO-254 Compliance – Balancing Complexity and Safety. https://lnkd.in/ed_Gk4Up ? Simplifying DO-254 Compliance for FPGA Designs – A Practical Approach. https://lnkd.in/eZGajFWk ? If you would like to talk to us about any project you are working on or have in the pipeline that requires DO-254 compliance, we’d love to hear from you. ?

Functional verification is an essential stage in the creation of an #ASIC, #FPGA or #SoC FPGA design. ? It is also extremely challenging in light of the double-edged sword that is coping with increasing design complexity and the ever-present pressures to keep project times as short as possible; both without reducing confidence in the quality of the functional verification processes or results produced. ? Thankfully, helping designers rise to the challenges are certain open-source verification methodologies, frameworks and tools. https://lnkd.in/evRpzzje ? Our Active-HDL and Riviera-PRO tools support all the following: ? ?????????????Open Source VHDL Verification Methodology (#OSVVM). This advanced verification methodology defines a #VHDL verification framework, verification utility library, verification component library, scripting API, and co-simulation capability that simplifies verification. Using OSVVM it is possible to create a simple, readable, and powerful testbench. ? ?????????????Universal Verification Methodology (#UVM). Originally created by Accellera in 2011 and standardized in 2020 as IEEE 1800.2-2020, UVM has been the de-facto verification methodology for ASIC designs for at least a decade and is now being used on high-density FPGA and SoC FPGA designs. It is an open- source library written in #SystemVerilog, and it utilizes the power of object-oriented programming for hardware designs. ? ?????????????Universal VHDL Verification Methodology (#UVVM). This is an open source VHDL verification library and methodology, available on both Github and IEEE Standards Association Open, and is developed in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA). As with OSVVM, it allows designers to use the language they already know (i.e., VHDL) and add, step-by-step, the functionality needed for their specific testbench. ? ?????????????Coroutine cosimulation testbench (#cocotb). This is an extremely popular open-source and completely free tool for creating hardware testbenches in Python that can be used to verify designs written in VHDL or Verilog, using your simulator of choice. ? ?????????????The #VUnit open-source unit testing framework for VHDL and SystemVerilog. VUnit provides the necessary functionality for continuous and automated unit testing of HDL code and complements traditional testing methods by promoting a "test early and often" approach through automation. ?

Benefit from greater automation in 2025 by using #VUnit, the open-source unit testing framework for #VHDL and #SystemVerilog. ? VUnit complements traditional testing methods by promoting a "test early and often" approach through automation. For example, it reduces the overhead of testing by supporting automatic discovery of testbenches and compilation order as well as including libraries for common verification tasks. ?
