Overview

This Cadence® Verification IP (VIP) provides support for the TileLink specification. It provides a highly capable compliance verification solution simulation, making it applicable to intellectual property (IP), system-on-chip (SoC), and system-level verification. The VIP for TileLink runs on all leading simulators. It supports user interfaces in SV-UVM, plain SV, and C. The VIP includes a bus functional model (BFM) with automatic protocol checkers, supports random stimuli, and collects functional coverage. Cadence provides an integrated solution for interconnect verification that supports the verification of coherent interconnect and performance analysis that provides automated generation of testbenches. The VIP provides a framework for system-level coherency, integrated automatic protocol checks and coverage model.

The TileLink protocol is a standard of the RISC-V Foundation® designed for RISC-V processors. TileLink is a chip-scale interconnect standard providing multiple managers with coherent memory-mapped access to memory and other subordinate devices. TileLink is designed for use in a SoC to connect general-purpose multiprocessors, co-processors, accelerators, DMA engines, and simple or complex devices, using a fast-scalable interconnect providing both low-latency and high-throughput transfers.

Supported specification: TileLink specification versions 1.7.1 and 1.8.

Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec

Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.

Rethinking AI Infrastructure: The Rise of PCIe Switches

Far from just a functional piece of hardware, PCIe switches are the invisible foundation that accelerates data processing, eliminates bottlenecks, and ensures modern AI systems operate with blazing speed and pinpoint precision.

Cadence Unveils the Industry’s First eUSB2V2 IP Solutions

Cadence's industry-first eUSB2V2 IP, built on the advanced TSMC N3P process and compliant with the latest embedded USB2 Version 2 standard, transforms computing devices by delivering unprecedented capabilities for laptops, AI video devices, and advanced image signal processor (ISP) systems.

A Look at New Open Standards to Improve Reliability and Redundancy of Automotive Ethernet

To meet the safety and deterministic latency requirements for controlling a car, a new set of open standards is being developed, collectively referred to as “Time Sensitive Networking,” or TSN. These improve the reliability, timing, redundancy, and failure detection ability of Ethernet to the level where it can be applied throughout an automobile. This article describes how Cadence has addressed the hardware requirements of TSN in its Automotive Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC).
