iSolve PCI Express Documentation

The Mentor Graphics® iSolve™ PCI Express speed adapter provides a connection between full-speed 2.5 GHz PCI Express traffic and the PCI Express port of a design mapped into a Mentor Graphics hardware emulator, enabling verification of complex PCI Express designs. The iSolve PCI Express speed adapter allows emulation users to perform system-level verification using actual PCI Express hardware and the application software and drivers on a PCI Express PC. As a result, corner-case bugs in both hardware and software can be identified and fixed, and design teams can address the very important interoperability and compliance issues that occur with standard bus protocols. The combination of iSolve PCI Express with Mentor Graphics hardware emulators delivers a 1,000 to 10,000X speed improvement over software simulation, saving weeks or months of regression test time. This level of performance enables verification of the design under test (DUT) in a real-world environment using its target operating system. Plug-and-Play The iSolve PCI Express speed adapter provides a rapid route towards system verification. Because it is plug-and-play, the user simply connects the full-speed PCI Express port to an appropriate PCIExpress PC and connects the emulationspeed port to the emulator.
