Neurealm delivered comprehensive pre‑ and post‑silicon functional validation for a multicore ARM‑based network SoC, validating peripherals including PCIe, NAND, DDR, SPI, QSPI, DMA controller, and cache coherency logic across emulation and silicon platforms.

Business Context

A global supplier of digital and analog connectivity solutions developing a multicore ARM network SoC faced complex verification challenges across high‑speed interfaces and coherent subsystems. The client needed exhaustive functional validation before tape‑out and after silicon availability—including automated tests, stress scenarios, and power‑voltage‑temperature characterization—to ensure reliability and first‑pass success in competitive embedded networking markets.

Solutions

Neurealm executed a multi‑year engagement spanning variants of the SoC, owning the validation from test plan creation to debug. They developed bare‑metal test cases, applied advanced emulation‑based transaction‑level debugging, automated validation scripts in C/C++ and Python, and covered both pre‑silicon emulation and post‑silicon board testing—enabling robust functional coverage and high confidence before product deployment.
