PALO ALTO, Calif., January 24, 2006 — Denali Software will demonstrate its PCI Express verification solutions at PCI-SIG Developers Conference Europe 2006 today, January 24, and tomorrow at the Queen Elizabeth II Convention Centre in London, England. Additionally, Denali is a sponsor of this event.
In use by over 80 customers, Denali's PureSpec™ verification intellectual property (IP) software is the most widely used solution for verifying functionality, compliance and interoperability of PCI Express designs at the pre-silicon stage of chip or IP core development. PureSpec includes a configurable bus functional model (BFM), protocol monitor, and complete assertion library for all components in the topology.
PureSpec models all devices in the topology, including the root complex, switch, endpoint and PCIe to PCI bridge. A generic device conforming to the specification can also be emulated. Composite configurations by port, function or virtual channel are also supported. A library of common PCIe device configurations are available online from Denali.
PureSpec additionally provides a sophisticated data generation engine to help drive defined, pseudo-random bus traffic at all layers. Injected errors and error conditions are flagged and recovered according to specifications.
The highly integrated nature of PureSpec model behavior and its data generation engine enables a sophisticated context-sensitive data generation approach to test plan execution. This enables direct translation from test plan definition to implementation, accelerating the verification task and productivity. A cumulative coverage database capability ensures that the overall test plan sufficiently exercises the design.
PureSpec also supports a number of other standard interfaces, including: Advanced Switching Interconnect, AMBA, USB2.0, USB OTG, Ethernet, Serial ATA, and CE-ATA. PureSpec is available for evaluation at: http://www.denali.com/purespec.
