Automatic detection of common RTL errors
Questa Lint – Early RTL Quality Assurance, No Testbench Required
Questa Lint automatically analyzes RTL code to catch issues early in the design cycle—before simulations or testbenches are built—ensuring higher quality and faster development.
Key Features:
- Fast, Testbench-Free RTL Checks – Identifies structural, syntactic, semantic, and stylistic issues right from the code.
- Pre-Built Check sets for Standards – Includes compliance checks for ISO 26262, DO-254, STARC, and more.
- Intent-Aware Reporting – Uses machine learning to filter noise and flag only meaningful issues.
- Visual Debugging Aids – Graphical views (FSM, schematics, source) help quickly pinpoint root causes.
- Change-Only Reporting – Shows only what’s new or altered since the last analysis, streamlining debug.
- Quality Scoring for IP – Rates RTL blocks by design quality to assess reuse suitability.
- FPGA-Ready – Includes pre-verified, compiled libraries for fast FPGA design bring-up.
- Fully Customizable – Supports user-defined methodologies, naming conventions, and design rules.
- Unified Experience – Shares UI and flows with other Questa tools, reducing the learning curve.
- Portable & Standards-Compliant – Ensures code adheres to LRM standards for broad toolchain compatibility.
