The white papers below provide greater insight into the business and technical issues ClearBlue technology addresses and how ClearBlue is used to perform silicon validation and debug.

A New Approach to In-System Silicon Validation and Debug

This whitepaper details how ClearBlue delivers a combination of at-speed, on-chip assertion checking, embedded logic analysis and scan dumps for complete register observability to create a breakthrough solution for silicon validation and debug.

ClearBlue Instrumentation Strategy for Silicon Validation and Debug

This Methodology Note helps a user define the instrumentation strategy for validation and debug of a target SoC design using the DAFCA ClearBlue platform. It provides criteria for deciding what reconfigurable distributed infrastructure (ReDI) instruments to use, where to insert the selected instruments, and which signals to connect to them.
