System Debug

SystemC is today’s language of choice for system-level design and verification.  Traditionally hardware designers have used C++ software Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to develop and debug their SystemC models, however these do not support hardware design concepts.

Mentor Graphics' Vista is the industry's most advanced SystemC debug toolset, providing powerful HW and C/C++ oriented views and debugging mechanisms.

System Debug

Designers need new-generation tools and methods that can address both the hardware and C/C++ notions and structures of such high-level models during design creation and debugging.  Ideally, such a solution would provide: 

  • C/C++ debug capabilities within hardware simulation context
  • Faster debugging cycles with efficient object tracing
  • Insight into code and design structures and hierarchies
  • Integration with mainstream ESL tool flows
