Case Study: RivieraWaves slashes debug cycles 30% and accelerates Bluetooth IP delivery with Cadence Design Systems' Incisive verification solutions

RivieraWaves - Customer Case Study

RivieraWaves is a startup that provides low-power Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi IP and design services for mobile, medical, wearable, and IoT markets. Facing aggressive time-to-market and quality goals for its next‑generation Bluetooth 4.1 IP, the company needed to migrate its verification flow from OVM to UVM, find bugs earlier, and manage increasingly complex low‑power verification challenges.

RivieraWaves adopted Cadence Incisive solutions—Incisive Enterprise Simulator, SimVision, Incisive Enterprise Manager, and the CPF low‑power flow—to automate and unify simulation, debug, and metric-driven verification. The move enabled a smooth OVM-to-UVM migration, reduced the overall debug cycle by 30%, improved IP quality and robustness, and accelerated IP delivery to customers, meeting the company’s efficiency and time‑to‑market objectives.
