Overview

SDIO Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with SDIO 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.20/5.0/5.10/6.0/6.10/7.0/7.10/8.0 specifications and verifies SDIO. SDIO is build on top of it to make it robust. SDIO Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the SDIO component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. SDIO 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.
