The HDL Retrascope toolkit was presented at the Univeristy Booth of the Design, Automation & Test in Europe conference. The conference took place on March 14-18 in Dresden, Germany.
The DATE conference addresses all aspects of research into technologies for electronic and embedded system engineering. It covers the design process, test, and automation tools for electronics ranging from integrated circuits to distributed embedded systems. Read more...

The new release contains the following changes:
- Test Templates: The
atomic
and iterate
block types were established
- Test Templates: The
block
structure now can be used only to combine sequences returned by nested blocks
- Test Templates: The
rearranger
parameter was supported by blocks

- Parser engine for NuSMV logs that produces tests;
- Hierarchical (at statement and variable declaration levels) CFG\EFSM models;
- Internal SAT-solver for trivial constraints that is used prior to the external one;
- Assertion (specification) hierarchical model;
- EFSM-based transition assertion generator engine;
- GADD models now contain only concurrent (non-blocking) non-ranged assignments;
- Support for non-loop\non-recursion functions in VHDL\Verilog designs;
- Descriptors for HDL variables;
- HDL parser optimization (sequential switch statements grouping);
