Overview
SpaceWire Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the SpaceWire component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. The SpaceWire Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with ECSS-E-ST-50-12C specification and verifies SpaceWire interfaces. It includes an extensive test suite covering most of the possible scenarios. It performs all possible protocol tests in a directed or a highly randomized fashion which adds the possibility to create most wide range of scenarios to verify the DUT effectively.
