TraceRTL

An RTL Signal Tracer for Verilog and SystemVerilog. Improve traceability and speed up debug.

Description

TraceRTL is a powerful RTL connectivity analysis tool that helps designers quickly identify the loads and drivers associated with any signal in a Verilog or SystemVerilog design. By supporting hierarchical net tracing, users can specify a complete hierarchical path to accurately locate and analyze signal connections across large and complex designs. TraceRTL provides fast, comprehensive results through an intuitive Tcl-based interface, making it easy to explore design connectivity, debug issues, verify signal propagation, and understand circuit behavior. By automating net tracing and eliminating the need for manual inspection, TraceRTL improves productivity, accelerates debugging, and simplifies RTL analysis for designs of any scale.
