Autonomous vehicles must operate in a world of uncertainties. Validation platforms are now capable of determining whether behavior is correct given complex contextual attributes. David Fritz, Mentor, A Siemens Business There is an interesting dashcam video circulating in the autonomous vehicle (AV) development community of a Tesla-paid test driver coming up on what the driver […]
How to structure SystemVerilog for reuse as Portable Stimulus
by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business In our previous article, The Nuts and Bolts of Verification: Recasting SystemVerilog for Portable Stimulus, we described how verification teams can jumpstart portable stimulus test description creation using existing SystemVerilog constructs and principles. Now, switching from analogy to idiom, we’ll dive into the “nuts and bolts” of how […]
Enabling embedded devices for the IoT
Automated onboarding and security features now help speed the integration of embedded devices into IoT systems. Arvind Raghuraman, Mentor Graphics, a Siemens company As the internet of things has evolved it has also grown more complicated. There are myriad choices when it comes to choosing the right cloud platform, cloud apps, device run-time components, communication […]
The nuts and bolts of verification: Recasting SystemVerilog for Portable Stimulus
by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business Nuts and bolts. So prosaic, yet so fundamental and essential. They can be reused, mixed-and-matched in endless ways. All those old jars and tins full of leftover nuts, bolts, and screws have saved many trips to the hardware store. Yet, if not for standardized gauge, thread count, and […]

IC design software includes automotive-grade automatic test pattern generation technology
Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced the availability of automotive-grade automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) technology for its Tessent TestKompress software. The new technology includes a suite of fault models and test pattern generation applications that target defects in ICs at the transistor and interconnect levels – in the process helping customers capture defects that […]
Circuit verification software handles 8LPP and 7LPP process technologies
Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced it has enabled a wide range of Mentor verification tools and solutions for the latest versions of Samsung Foundry’s 8LPP and 7LPP offerings. Mentor’s Calibre nmPlatform and Analog FastSPICE (AFS) custom and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuit verification platforms are available for use in the verification and sign-off of production tapeouts for Samsung Foundry’s innovative 8LPP […]
Simulation systems speeds development of self-driving vehicles
Siemens has introduced a new simulation system for the development of autonomous driving systems. The solution, part of the Simcenter portfolio, minimizes the need for extensive physical prototyping while dramatically reducing the number of logged test miles necessary to demonstrate the safety of autonomous vehicles. According to the findings of a report issued by the […]
Embedded IoT framework simplifies Industrie 4.0 device-to-cloud connections
Just when more and more equipment needs to be IoT-enabled and manageable from the cloud, OEM device manufacturers are challenged with scalability and portability amidst a fragmented market from chip vendors to silicon all the way to the cloud vendors. And even after choosing two or three cloud vendors and their respective SDKs design to […]
In-system test software helps vehicular electronics meet ISO 26262 specs
Mentor announced the availability of its new Tessent MissionMode product, which provides a combination of automation and on-chip IP for enabling semiconductor chips throughout an automotive electronics system to be tested and diagnosed at any point during a vehicle’s functional operation. This capability is fundamental towards achieving the safety and long-term reliability requirements demanded by […]
