In our previous post, we demonstrated how we use GDB from the RISC-V tool chain as our primary hardware debugger. This post talks about how we leveraged the RISC-V ecosystem to build a new verification methodology.
RISC-V has disrupted how chips are designed and architected, can it also disrupt Verification?
GDB is just a software debugger right? Wrong. VeriFire by SilverLining EDA transforms GDB into a debugger for pre-silicon hardware verification. 1?? Set breakpoints in your testbench and reference model code 2?? Live Debug of your DUT 3?? Observe internal DUT state 4?? Generate simulation logs 5?? Run regressions in seconds. Who says debug on FPGAs is hard? Watch as Mohammad Wajahat Riaz Mirza, M.Sc. describes how verification and debug can be done elegantly on AWS cloud FPGAs using GDB. No UVM necessary.
Our next article will be about harnessing the power of the cloud to make semiconductor design like Software design. In the meantime, catch up on how RISC-V based EDA tool VeriFire by SilverLining EDA makes UVM and commercial Verilog simulators a thing of the past.

SilverLining EDA CEO Irfan Waheed presented a Case against UVM last week. It has been read by hundreds of engineers across the broader semiconductor industry. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Our next article outlining a compelling and innovative alternative to UVM is scheduled for publication January 31. If you haven't already read it, we invite you to do so. Reposted below
Design Verification takes more than half of the design cycle. Accelerating DV accelerates time to market. VeriFire by SilverLining EDA uses AWS cloud FPGAs and RISC-V to accelerate verification. ?? It also helps save tons on EDA cost. So how does it actually work ? We co-authored a blog with the AWS EDA team to answer that exact question.
Exciting news coming from AWS today. F2 is now officially available! The much awaited refresh to the EC2 F1 instances is here. It features: 1?? Bigger FPGAs (Xilinx VU47P) compared to the VU9P available on F1 2?? Ubuntu based AMI compared to the archaic CentOS based AMI for F1 3?? 3rd generation?AMD EPYC?(Milan) processors that offer up to 3x as many processor cores and up to twice as much system memory compared to F1 VeriFire on F1 was ground breaking. F2 will super-charge VeriFire by enabling: 1?? Verification of Bigger DUTs 2?? Faster FPGA build times 3?? Richer IDEs Read the announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eAET37de #aws #semiconductor #eda
