SOS for Visual Studio Code: Design Data Management for Digital Design Teams

Digital design teams have largely standardized on Visual Studio Code as the daily environment for RTL, SystemVerilog, UVM, Python, and Tcl development. Design data management, the discipline that protects revisions, enables parallel work, and guarantees reproducibility, has traditionally lived in a separate tool with a separate window and a separate mental model. The result is constant context switching, drift between local edits and the controlled state of the project, and friction around routine operations such as check-in, check-out, snapshotting, branching, and conflict resolution.


This webinar introduces the Keysight SOS extension for Visual Studio Code and shows how it brings full design data management into the editor where digital designers already work. We will cover the value proposition for RTL and verification teams, the key capabilities surfaced inside VS Code, typical adoption paths for groups currently using terminal-based SOS clients or general-purpose version control on HDL projects, and where the extension fits within the broader Keysight SOS platform across digital, analog, and mixed-signal flows.


Who should attend

-Digital design engineers writing RTL in SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL who use VS Code as their primary editor

-Verification engineers building UVM environments, constrained-random testbenches, or formal property sets

-SoC integration and IP development teams managing shared blocks and hierarchical references across multiple projects

-CAD, methodology, and design infrastructure leads responsible for revision discipline, reproducibility, and audit traceability

-Engineering managers evaluating consolidation of design data management across digital, analog, and mixed-signal flows

-Current SOS users on the SOS command line or other clients who want a modern editor-native experience

-Teams currently relying on Git, Perforce, or ad hoc snapshot scripts for HDL projects who are evaluating purpose-built EDA design data management
