Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to create, support, promote, and advance system-level design, modeling, and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics industry. We are composed of a broad range of members that fully support the work of our technical committee to develop technology standards that are balanced, open, and benefit the worldwide electronics industry. Leading companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world are using our electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards in a wide range of projects in numerous application areas to develop consumer, mobile, wireless, automotive, and other “smart” electronic devices. Through an ongoing partnership with the IEEE, standards and technical implementations developed by Accellera Systems Initiative are contributed to the IEEE for formal standardization and ongoing governance.

1068: Are My Fault Campaigns Providing Accurate Results for ISO 26262 Certification?

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 3:00 pm — 5:00 pm

Running an efficient fault campaign with accurate results can be a difficult task especially on large complex designs, but there are optimizations and techniques to address this. A common difficulty when running fault campaigns is providing stimulus behavior where a campaign run on RTL matches the results of the final gate level netlist fault campaign needed for certification. In the paper ‘Complex Safety Mechanisms Require Interoperability and Automation for Validation and Metric Closure’ presented at DVCon US 2023 we covered the fundamental methodology to overcome typical fault campaign challenges for SOC’s with complex safety mechanisms. The previous paper described a general methodology and flow for fault campaigns, but it did not go into the details of how to plan and verify fault campaign activity.
