VLSI Design Tool Support

Busparse

To convert the bus definitions in a .out file produced by TimeMill® into bus definitions that can be read by AReview, a waveform drawing tool developed by ARM Ltd.

• Documentation.
• Source code (see licence conditions).

Edges

To check through the .out file produced byTimeMill® and warn about any long edge times.

• Documentation.
• Source code (see licence conditions).

Bundles

To check bundling constraints in an asynchronous design using the bundled data protocol and 4 phase handshake signals.

• Documentation.
• Source code (see licence conditions).

Summarisebundles

To process the verbose output of the bundles utility and produce in the information in a more concise form sorted according to the type of error and identifying entire buses rather than individual signals. All the information obtained from the bundles program is reported.

• Documentation.
• Source code (see licence conditions).

Supersumb

This program filters the output of summarisebundles and produces an even more concise report by discarding some of the information. Only the worst violation for each bus or signal is reported for each type of error.

• Documentation.
• Source code (see licence conditions).

Pest

This tools estimates the power (energy) consumption of a given circuit during a given simulation. The precise energy results are only rough estimates, since the tool only calculates dynamic power consumption, but they will allow identification of high power sections of a design.

• Documentation.
• Source code (see licence conditions).
