- Valtrix's leading verification technology updated to support the latest 
changes to the RISC-V specification; Will be exhibited in the upcoming 3rd 
RISC-V Summit from December 8-10


    Valtrix Systems, provider of design verification products for building 
functionally correct CPU and system-on-chip implementations, today announced 
the availability of version 1.9.0 of STING design verification tool for RISC-V 
based CPU and SoC implementations.

    The latest update to STING includes the support to verify all the recent 
changes to the RISC-V user and privilege specifications, which include the 
latest draft versions of the vector and bit manipulation standard extensions. 
Preliminary support for the draft version of the RISC-V hypervisor extension 
has also been added to enable testing of virtualization use-cases. The new 
version also enables the capability of on-target test generation in STING for 
the post-silicon testing needs of RISC-V along with a new self-contained mode 
of execution which enables the ability of generation and execution of 
standalone STING tests.

    "Verifying the compliance and functional correctness is a critical step in 
the development of CPU and SoC designs." said Shajid Thiruvathodi, CTO of 
Valtrix. "As the RISC-V specification continues to evolve and support more 
features and extensions, it becomes very important to have mature and versatile 
verification tools which can scale according to the complexity of the 
implementation. STING meets this need and enables adopters of RISC-V to verify 
and debug their designs quickly, easily and more efficiently".

    The latest version of STING will be available for demonstration at the 
upcoming 3rd RISCV Summit from December 8-10. Attendees can arrange meetings to 
discuss about STING and its support for RISC-V implementations by writing to 
contact@valtrix.in.

    About Valtrix's STING Design Verification Tool
    STING, the flagship product of Valtrix, is a design verification platform 
for RISC-V based implementations. It can be configured to generate portable 
bare-metal programs containing selfchecking architecturally-correct test 
stimulus, which can then be enabled on simulation, FPGA prototypes, emulation 
or silicon. STING also provides a RISC-V architecture verification suite to 
provide users an easy ramp into verification readiness.
