Welcome to the Overview of Third-Party Tools for Compilation, Synthesis, and Verification
This session introduces the key third-party tools we use in our development and verification workflow. You will learn what each tool does, when to use it, and how it integrates into our overall flow for compiling code, synthesizing designs, and running simulations.
We will cover:
-
Compilation Tools – e.g., GCC for compiling C/C++ programs
-
Verification Tools – Questa SIM, VCS, IRUN, vsim for simulation and functional verification
-
Synthesis Tools – overview of how synthesis is performed using industry-standard EDA tools
-
Usage & Integration – basic command-line operations, licensing, and how these tools fit into our build and regression process
By the end, you will have a clear understanding of the role each tool plays and how to use them effectively in your daily work.
