2021 - ongoing
Class D audio chips, growing in complexity. QBayLogic rebuilt Axign’s verification flow with CI and simulation tooling so they could catch problems early instead of late.
Configurable Cocotb drivers for JTAG, AHB, (Q)SPI, and I2S, plus a dependable GitLab and GitLab CI workflow, gave Axign accurate, rapid verification they could trust.
We also upstreamed patches for the interaction between Cocotb, VPI, and Xcelium, so the improvements outlast the engagement.
The shift: Axign moved from solving problems late to preventing them early.
OUR CLIENTS
At QBayLogic, we embrace the integration of software and digital engineering, recognizing their similarities rather than their differences. Axign’s pursuit of a combined software-hardware testing methodology aligned perfectly with our expertise, making us the ideal partner for this project.
Not only did we facilitate Axign’s transition to a more efficient and sustainable workflow, but we also contributed to the development of next-generation audio chips. This project exemplifies our commitment to driving innovation by combining the strengths of software engineering and digital circuit design.
