GateVision® PRO - High Performance Netlist Debugging and Netlist Viewing

Completely rewritten to run on modern 32/64bit platforms, GateVision PRO provides the designer of even the largest chips and SoCs with intuitive design navigation, netlist viewing, waveform viewing, logic cone extraction, interactive logic cone viewing for netlist debugging and design documentation.

Ultra Fast Netlist Viewer — GateVision PRO is an ultra fast and extreme capacity gate-level netlist debugger and netlist viewer reading and processing even the largest Verilog netlists, EDIF netlists and LEF/DEF netlists.

Reading Verilog, EDIF and LEF/DEF netlists, GateVision PRO fits seamlessly into any design environment. Schematics are generated on the fly and the intuitive GUI lets the designer incrementally and easily navigate through the largest netlist files.

• Extreme performance netlist viewer for Verilog, EDIF, and LEF/DEF
• Tcl based UserWare API — for advanced customization
• 32/64 bit database handles today′s largest SoCs, ASICs and FPGAs
• Integrated Waveform Browser (accelerated VCD viewer)
• Customizable path extraction engine finds critical paths
• Cone view displays schematic fragments of critical areas
• Intuitive GUI for ease of use

API — a tcl based UserWare API provides full access to the new 32/64-bit based database, for highly flexible customization. The designer can extend the functionality of GateVison PRO to meet the immediate needs of the project, adding, for example, electrical rule checking (ERC), report and documentation functions. The API also allows GateVison PRO to be closely integrated with different design flows and third party tools.

Waveform Viewer and Signal Tracing — GateVision PRO comes with a fully integrated waveform viewer and with support for interactive signal tracing in the source code, schematic view and waveform window. GateVision PRO compiles VCD simulation data into its own high-speed format for accelerated waveform browsing and signal tracing.

32/64 Bit — exploiting the increasing powerful 64 bit platforms, Intel Xeon, Intel Core, AMD Opteron and AMD Phenom, GateVision PRO runs quickly and efficiently, even for the largest and most complex of today′s demanding ASICs, SoCs and FPGAs. The underlying database has been completely redesigned for 32/64-bit operation.

Logic cone — the GateVision PRO logic cone view provides interactive navigation within a schematic fragment, that portion of the circuit that is most relevant. This can be extended and reduced for signal path tracing through the complete design hierarchy.

Path extraction and Verilog Simulation — The customizable path extraction engine can automatically identify and extract critical paths in a design. These can be explored and cross-probed in different views to reduce both the complexity and time of the debug cycle. Path fragments can be exported as Verilog netlists for critical path Verilog simulation.

GUI — the intuitive GUI provides a host of facilities including context sensitive menus and multiple views. A powerful search tool provides quick access to any object or group of objects in a design, with the results stored in a result list. Listed objects can be highlighted or moved into the logic cone window.

Debugging Views — Built into GateVision Pro are a variety of view options, including schematic view, schematic fraction view, source code view, hierarchy tree view, waveform view, clock domain view, and object search view. Through these, and through cross-probing between views, it is easy to gain a deeper understanding of the device being debugged and to improve the debugging process.
