UltraSoC adds deadlock detection to SoC analysis, debug and profiling tools

September 9, 2015

UltraSoC  today announced that it has added deadlock detection capabilities within its products for SoC analysis, profiling and debug. The new features allow SoC architects, developers and debug engineers to detect and diagnose hard-to-find corner cases which can cause complex SoCs to hang or stall intermittently and unpredictably, sometimes after days of continuous normal operation.

“Our customers tell us that intermittent deadlock and stall conditions are amongst the hardest problems to solve in their SoC designs,” said Gadge Panesar, UltraSoC CTO. “These conditions are a major contributor to the current crisis in the SoC industry. Conventional approaches … Read More → "UltraSoC adds deadlock detection to SoC analysis, debug and profiling tools"
