Embedded system platforms typically
contain at least one processing element
such as a microprocessor or digital signal
processor along with peripherals, random
logic, and memory and interface modules.
They also employ a bus-based protocol
architecture. Bugs that interact both inside
blocks and at the bus communication level
can be particularly problematic during
verification. Multi-bus protocols within the
system on chip itself further increase the
complexity of this problem. By analyzing bus
behavior at the transaction level, design
behavior can be much easier to understand
and debug.
