The MathWorks Announces EDA Simulator Link DS
The MathWorks announced the availability of EDA Simulator Link DS, which provides a co-simulation link between MATLAB and Simulink and the Synopsys VCS MX functional verification solution.
EDA Simulator Link DS enables reuse of system-level models as test benches for hardware description language (HDL) and register transfer level (RTL) implementations by coordinating the execution of Synopsys’ VCS MX solution with MATLAB code and Simulink models. This integration accelerates functional verification by automating stimulus and response generation between the two environments, reducing manual recoding of test benches, and providing enhanced debugging capabilities to system and verification engineers. Engineers using Synopsys’ VCS MX functional verification solution can now use EDA Simulator Link DS to improve product quality and reduce verification time and costs.
Key Features in EDA Simulator Link DS
EDA Simulator Link DS lets design, verification, and system engineers use MATLAB and Simulink to efficiently model, analyze, and verify HDL and RTL implementations. Key features include:
Full VHDL, Verilog, and mixed-language cosimulation support
MATLAB test bench capability, enabling the use of MATLAB code to stimulate HDL code and check its response
MATLAB component capability, enabling simulation of MATLAB code in place of entities not yet coded in HDL
User-selectable shared-memory and TCP/IP-socket communications modes
Interactive or batch mode cosimulation, debugging, testing, and verification of HDL
Pricing and Availability
EDA Simulator Link DS is available immediately. U.S. list prices start at $2,000.
