Mentor OneSpin 2025 for Linux | Advanced Formal Verification & Assertion-Based Design Platform

Mentor OneSpin 2025 for Linux is a high-performance, Linux-native formal verification software suite for ensuring the functional correctness and security of semiconductor designs and electronic systems. It provides exhaustive mathematical proof capabilities for RTL and gate-level verification beyond traditional simulation.

Core Functionality Overview:

  • Exhaustive Formal Property Verification (FPV): Enables the formal proof of complex design properties, assertions, and compliance checks (e.g., AMBA, PCIe protocols) to achieve 100% coverage for critical logic paths.

  • Advanced Equivalence Checking & Security Verification: Performs exhaustive RTL-to-RTL and RTL-to-netlist equivalence checking, alongside specialized tools for detecting hardware security vulnerabilities (Trojans, side-channels).

  • Assertion Synthesis & IP Integrity Verification: Automatically generates assertions from simulation traces and provides dedicated solutions for verifying the integrity and trust of third-party IP cores.
