个人兴趣

我是一个芯片验证工程师，在日常工作中，python是我最重要的scripting language。现在我还用python的[http://wiki.python.org/moin/MyHDL MyHDL] package来搭建testbench, it works well。我的兴趣范围还包括[wiki:ChunLinZhang/SystemC SystemC], [wiki:ChunLinZhang/Specman Specman], [wiki:ChunLinZhang/SystemVerilog SystemVerilog], testbench automation，coverage driven verification等，希望能和IC design领域的同行多多交流。

Verification vs. Test

Verification Predictive analysis to ensure that the synthesized design, when manufactured, will perform the given I/O function
Test A manufacturing step that ensures that the physical device, manufactured from the synthesized design, has no manufacturing defect.

Equivalence Check / STA

FPGA approach

SynplifyPro -> Conformal (lec) -> ISE Timing Analyzer (trce)BR set verification mode on in Synplify to generate the .vif file, use vif2conformal to translate the vif file the a format that recognizible by conformal. The inputs of trce is .ncd and .pcf files

ASIC approach

Design Compiler -> Formality -> PrimeTime

[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxlwriter/ xlwriter] I have ever used this package to generate the summary verification report, quite good to do the same kind of work like report auto-generation. It is also platform independent. The bad side is not very easy to control the format. Some sample code:

   1 import pyXLWriter as xl
   2 def report_autogen(filename):
   3     wbk = xl.Writer(filename)
   4     sumsheet = wbk.add_worksheet('Summary')
   5     wbk.close()
   6     return 0
