GCI Synthesizable Transactor

The GCI Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with V1.0 specifications and verifies GCI interfaces.

Overview

The GCI Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with V1.0 specifications and verifies GCI interfaces. GCI is build on top of it to make it robust. GCI Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the GCI component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. GCI Synthesizable Transactor is developed by experts in networking, who have developed networking products in companies like Intel, Cortina-Systems, Emulex, Cisco. We know what it takes to verify a networking product.

Keeping Pace with CXL Specification Revisions

As the Compute Express Link® (CXL®) specification rapidly evolves, so too must the tools and infrastructure used to verify designs built around it. Maintaining verification IP (VIP) that keeps pace with new specification revisions is no small task, particularly when dealing with major version shifts like the transition from CXL 2.0 to 3.0.

SmartDV Licenses SDIO IP Family to Ranix for V2X Products

To meet RANiX’s unique design goals, SmartDV will customize the IP to go beyond the standard SDIO functionality—thereby empowering RANiX to differentiate from their competitors. SmartDV will also provide RANiX with the requisite support and documentation to achieve ASIL certification for ISO 26262.

SmartDV Rolls Out Multi-Phase Expansion Plan
