Abstract

Increasing design complexity, skyrocketing fabrication costs for modern digital systems coupled with an unacceptably large number of silicon respins led to growing importance of comprehensive and automated design verification. Akin to software configuration management, it is becoming commonplace to maintain large hardware design code-bases with hardware configuration management tools. A missing piece of crucial technology in this approach is to manage design verification across evolving hardware designs. In this paper, we propose an efficient methodology for automatically localizing design errors across design versions. The proposed technique, Evo Deb, can be easily integrated into a hardware configuration management framework and is scalable for large designs. We demonstrate the efficacy of Evo Deb on a couple of bugs on open-source hardware designs across multiple evolving variants.
EvoDeb:调试不断发展的硬件设计
不断增加的设计复杂性,现代数字系统的制造成本飙升,再加上不可接受的大量硅树脂,导致全面和自动化设计验证的重要性日益增加。与软件配置管理类似,使用硬件配置管理工具维护大型硬件设计代码库正变得越来越普遍。这种方法中缺少的一项关键技术是管理不断发展的硬件设计之间的设计验证。在本文中,我们提出了一种有效的方法来自动定位设计版本之间的设计错误。所提出的技术Evo Deb可以很容易地集成到硬件配置管理框架中,并且可以扩展到大型设计中。我们展示了Evo Deb在开源硬件设计中的几个漏洞上的功效,这些漏洞跨越了多个不断发展的变体。
