Synopsys Inc. has rolled out what it flaunts as the industry's first USB 3.1 IP solution that consists of DesignWare USB 3.1 device controller, an IP virtual development kit (VDK) and verification IP (VIP) to speed up the development of high-performance storage, digital office and mobile SoC applications.
The DesignWare USB 3.1 IP solutions support 10Gb/s data transfer rates, power-down capabilities and compatibility with existing USB 3.0 software stacks and device protocols. Based on the DesignWare USB 3.0 Controller IP architecture, the DesignWare USB 3.1 device controller IP enables designers to integrate USB 3.1 functionality with significantly less risk and faster time-to-market.
The DesignWare USB 3.1 IP VDK, part of the Synopsys IP Accelerated initiative, helps developers quickly bring-up, enhance and optimise existing software for their specific DesignWare USB 3.1 device controller configuration. The IP VDK consists of a reference virtual prototype that includes a processor subsystem reference design, a configurable model of the DesignWare USB 3.1 Controller IP, a Linux software stack and reference drivers. Software developers can use the IP VDK as a proven target for early software development, bring-up, debug and test in parallel with SoC development. Hardware developers can use the HAPS FPGA-based prototyping system for hardware/software integration and system validation of USB 3.1 designs.
Synopsys' USB 3.1 VIP is based on Synopsys' native SystemVerilog and native UVM architecture, offering ease of integration, high performance, configurability, coverage and debug to speed the protocol verification process. The USB 3.1 VIP supports Verdi Protocol Analyser, a protocol-centric debug environment that substantially increases user productivity with protocol-aware features to simplify viewing and debug of complex protocols.
The DesignWare USB 3.1 device controller IP and USB 3.1 VIP are available. The DesignWare USB 3.1 IP VDK is planned to be available in 1Q15.
