SANBlaze Technology Inc. announced the General Availability (GA) of SANBlaze Software Release 11.0 Build 12, delivering significant enhancements to the Certified by SANBlaze® test ecosystem. Release 11.0 Build 12 expands protocol validation coverage across PCIe Gen6, OCP 2.6, and i3c, enabling device vendors, platform integrators, and silicon providers to validate next-generation designs with greater confidence and efficiency.
This release represents a major step forward in SANBlaze’s ongoing commitment to supporting emerging standards as they evolve from specification to real-world deployment.
Full OCP 2.6 Test Suite Available
Building on SANBlaze’s continued leadership in supporting the Open Compute Project (OCP) NVMe SSD Specification 2.6, Release 11.0 Build 12 delivers the complete up-to-date OCP 2.6 test script suite within the sought-after Certified by SANBlaze environment.
New I3C Test Scripts Integrated into Certified by SANBlaze
Release 11.0 Build 12 also introduces I3C test automation within the Certified by SANBlaze GUI, expanding SANBlaze’s coverage of modern sideband and management interfaces used in advanced storage platforms.
Previously, SANBlaze supported I2C and I2C2 access through its CLI environment. With Release 11.0 Build 12, customers now gain:
Native I3C test scripts integrated into the GUI-based Certified by SANBlaze framework
Improved usability for validation teams that rely on graphical workflows
Broader coverage for next-generation management and telemetry interfaces
Enhanced automation consistency across protocols
As I3C adoption grows across enterprise and hyperscale platforms, this addition positions SANBlaze customers to validate future designs with greater depth and efficiency.
Continued Leadership in PCIe Gen6 Enablement
Release 11.0 Build 12 further complements SANBlaze’s ongoing investments in the PCIe® Gen6 ecosystem. With SANBlaze platforms already supporting early Gen6 validation workflows, this software update strengthens the overall testing foundation needed to support:
Higher data rates and tighter timing margins
More complex device behavior under stress conditions
Early interoperability testing for emerging Gen6 designs
Advanced debug and analysis during pre-silicon and post-silicon phases
Together with OCP 2.6 and I3C enhancements, Release 11.0 Build 12 reinforces SANBlaze’s role as a trusted validation partner for next-generation storage technologies.
A More Complete Certified by SANBlaze Platform
With Release 11.0 Build 12, SANBlaze delivers a broader, more cohesive validation environment that supports customers across the full lifecycle:
Pre-compliance and compliance testing
Platform qualification
Regression automation
Ecosystem interoperability
Future-standard readiness
By committing to ongoing OCP test requirements and Gen6 enablement, SANBlaze continues to help engineering teams reduce validation risk and accelerate deployment of next-generation products.
