Mentor Graphics has developed a platform to accelerate the verification of PCI Express products. This new platform enables designers to test their complete system, including PCI Express I/O, as well as employ real-world stimulus early in the development cycle. The platform consists of the Veloce family of hardware-assisted verification products and the iSolve PCI Express product, which delivers a dynamic and accurate PCI Express verification environment.
Increased bandwidth and performance requirements of modern PCs and servers, especially those involving high-speed graphics, have meant that PCI Express has become an industry standard, with PCI Express motherboards widespread, and associated peripherals, such as gigabit Ethernet cards and RAID controllers, very popular. With such a prevalence of new products for PCI Express applications, the need for a solution that allows the verification of these products and applications has become more critical and are in high demand.
The solution provides verification for root complex, switch, PCI bridge and endpoint designs, and incorporates x1, x2, x4, and x8 lane support, with auto-negotiation. It also supports PCI Express standards 1.1 and 2.0 (including Gen 2.0 rate switching).
