The toolkit aims to move verification and design from isolated tool interactions into intelligent, domain-scoped multi-step, framework-agnostic workflows powered by agentic AI – autonomous systems operating within the verification domain under customer-defined governance boundaries that can reason, plan and execute complex tasks while maintaining configurable human oversight.
The toolkit works with the FuseEDA AI system, Siemens’ agentic and generative framework for EDA. It is Fuse-preferred, with enhanced capabilities when used within the Fuse environment.
Recognising that customer choice is paramount, the framework-agnostic architecture protects existing investments and integrates with other agentic platforms without compromise.
Whether teams use existing or emerging frameworks, Questa One agentic workflows claim to adapt to their environment with standardised interfaces that work consistently across platforms.
The toolkit launches with the following intelligent agents:
- The RTL Code Agent generates synthesisable RTL code from natural language descriptions while checking for coding violations and suggesting fixes aligned with industry standards, presenting engineers with clean, high-quality RTL for review.
- The Lint Agent optimally configures lint analysis, reading existing RTL code to check for design errors and coding style violations. Designers then review results and are offered automated AI-powered design fixes or waivers to help to ensure the highest-quality RTL
- The CDC Agent optimally configures, then runs clock domain crossing verification on a design. Configuration fine-tuning suggestions are made based on results. This empowers designers to achieve the cleanest asynchronous designs after reviewing the results and enabling automated AI-powered design fixes or waivers.
- The Verification Planning Agent analyses design specifications and automatically generates comprehensive verification plans. Engineers review and approve each step while the AI handles structuring sections, creating detailed feature descriptions and defining scenarios and checking strategies.
- The Debug Agent accelerates root cause analysis by intelligently correlating waveforms, assertions, coverage data and log files. It identifies suspicious signal transitions, suggests potential failure mechanisms and generates targeted debug scenarios for engineer reviews.
These agents leverage the toolkit’s MCPs to work directly with Questa One Verification IQ, Questa One SFV, Questa One Sim and other tools, backed by curated prompt libraries developed by domain experts.
The Questa One Agentic Toolkit is available now through an early access programme.
