EVE Debuts e-zTest MIPI CSI-2 and MIPI DSI Validation Platforms

Posted by Ken Cheung in Test Solution,Wireless on Tuesday, September 18, 2012

EVE introduced the e-zTest MIPI CSI-2 and e-zTest MIPI DSI validation platforms. The new application-specific debug solutions support the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance wireless standards for Camera Serial Interface (CSI-2) and Display Serial Interface (DSI). The two new wireless system-on-chip (SoC) validation platforms are the first commercial synthesizable virtual components for SoC emulation that meet MIPI standards. The EVE platforms are available now.

The e-zTest MIPI CSI-2 and e-zTest MIPI DSI validation platforms enable fast configuration of virtual cameras and virtual displays. They also feature an interface to a device under test (DUT) in the high-performance ZeBu SoC emulation system. The virtual test environment offers network accessibility of the design to any hardware or software engineer.

e-zTest MIPI CSI-2 features a user-configurable virtual camera with resolutions up to 12 megapixels, application programming interfaces (APIs) for fast integration of the platform with the DUT and development of test programs, including playback of stored files or self-generated test patterns. It supports CSI-2 data and control interfaces, a protocol analyzer, and transaction and data logging and displays.

e-zTest MIPI DSI includes a high-resolution virtual display environment for processed camera or other mobile device information to be captured, displayed and analyzed on a virtual screen without the need for speed adaption hardware. The virtual display includes menus for video playback control, on-screen display of all display settings, and provides real-time updates of the frame rate and bandwidth. It includes a protocol analyzer, and transaction and data monitors and logging.

The EVE wireless system-on-chip (SoC) validation platforms support CSI-2 and DSI transactions over the MIPI D-PHY physical layer. Support is provided for the generic MIPI D-PHY PPI interface and has been tested to be plug-n-play with Mixel’s D-PHY IP, licensed by an analog/mixed-signal semiconductor supplier, and a mutual customer of both companies.
