Following its acquisition of EDA Playground earlier this year, Doulos has added support for Synopsys' VCS Functional Verification Solution.

Acquired by Doulos early in 2015, EDA Playground allows engineers to simulate small amounts of code written in SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, C++, SystemC and other HDLs via a web browser. The goal is to accelerate learning of design and testbench development.

"EDA Playground has a significant part to play in Doulos' commitment to invest in training the next generation of electronic system designers. EDA Playground is a free to access online learning resource, where engineers can practice their coding skills and share code snippets with others in the community," said Doulos CEO Rob Hurley.

"This collaboration will enable broader and deeper adoption of key subjects like SystemVerilog and UVM," claimed Michael Sanie, Synopsys' senior director of verification marketing. "Synopsys is supportive of initiatives from partners such as Doulos that will assist more customers to become effective and productive in addressing their verification challenges."

Doulos now plans to extend EDA Playground to support online training and blended learning solutions.

Synopsys is set to accelerate automotive SoC development with the launch of a broad new portfolio of silicon-proven IP. Its DesignWare IP portfolio for automotive applications includes: Ethernet AVB, LPDDR4, MIPI CSI-2 and DSI, HDMI, PCI Express, USB, Mobile Storage, Logic Libraries, Embedded Memories, NVM, Data Converters, ARC EM processors, EV vision processors and the Sensor and Control IP Subsystem.

The portfolio meets key automotive functional safety requirements and is being enhanced to address AEC-Q100 and TS 16949 requirements, as a result SoC designers will be able to accelerate their functional safety assessments and meet the high quality levels required in automotive applications.

DesignWare Ethernet AVB, LPDDR4 and Embedded Memory IP are now certified to be ASIL B Ready for ISO 26262 functional safety, as required by ADAS applications and, in addition to providing ASIL B Ready IP, Synopsys is making significant investments in IP solutions that are AEC-Q100 tested and meet TS 16949 quality management standards.

"The growth of safety features in automotive SoCs requires IP providers to put strict processes in place to help ensure that the IP meets stringent functional safety standards," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and prototyping at Synopsys.
