One of the many benefits of OCP-IP membership is access to our CoreCreator® tools.
CoreCreator® II Is Now Available!
CoreCreator II features verification IP and command-line based tools for validating Open Core Protocol (OCP) implementations, reducing design time and risk, and enabling rapid time to market.
CoreCreator II allows users to verify, debug, and analyze OCP Cores and OCP-based Systems. It is comprised of two fundamental component parts: first, Synopsys' DesignWare® verification IP provides OCP master and slave transactors that generate and respond to all types of OCP 2.2 transactions, and a simulation monitor that provides coverage reports of the functional coverage groups defined in the Protocol Compliance section of the OCP Specification. Second, Sonics' OCP Library for Verification (SOLV) provide three tools, which aid in the tuning and validation of complex OCP-based cores and systems. The Sonics SVA OCP Checker ensures protocol compliance on OCP2 interfaces and logs activity to a trace file, while the Sonics' performance analyzer (ocpperf2) and disassembler (ocpdis2) measure interface performance and help view the behavior of the OCP traffic. All three component parts are configurable to support the wide range of OCP 2.2 interface options.
The new version is compatible with traditional Verilog and VHDL testbench environments to create directed tests for OCP designs. Synopsys' DesignWare verification IP within CoreCreator II adds support for advanced verification methodologies as described in the Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog to enable its use in constrained-random verification environments.
CoreCreator II includes support for the existing CoreCreator BFM Verilog task interface allowing members to transition testbenches to the new verification IP with minimal changes to their testbench code.
