Automating the Capture of Assertion Verification Results for DO-254

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Vipul Patel - eInfochips

This article focuses on Assertion-Based Verification (ABV) methodology and discusses automation techniques for capturing verification results to accelerate the verification process. Also, it showcases how requirement traceability is maintained with use of assertions to comply with the mandatory DO-254 standards.
DO-254 Testing of High-Speed FPGA Interfaces

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Nir Weintroub, Sani Jabsheh - Verisense

As the complexity of electronics for airborne applications continues to rise, an increasing number of applications need to comply with the RTCA DO-254 / EUROCAE ED-80 standard for certification of complex electronic hardware, which includes FPGAs and ASICs.
Formal and Assertion-Based Verification of MBIST MCPs

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Ajay Daga - FishTail Design Automation

Built-In Self-Test (BIST) is widely used to test embedded memories. This is necessary because of the large number of embedded memories in a circuit which could be in the thousands or even tens of thousands. It is impractical to provide access to all these memories and apply a high-quality test.
Reuse MATLAB® Functions and Simulink® Models in UVM Environments with Automatic SystemVerilog DPI Component Generation

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Tao Jia, Jack Erickson - MathWorks

The growing sophistication of verification environments has increased the amount of infrastructure that verification teams must develop. For instance, UVM environments offer scalability and flexibility at the cost of upfront efforts to create the UVM infrastructure, bus-functional models, coverage models, scoreboard, and test sequences.
Starting Formal Right from Formal Test Planning

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Jin Zhang

Planning is key to success in any major endeavor, and the same is true for meaningful formal applications. End-to-End formal, with the goal of achieving formal sign-off, is a task that usually takes weeks if not months to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the design under test (DUT).
Intelligent Testbench Automation with UVM and Questa

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Marcela Simkova, Neil Hand - Codasip

This article describes an automated approach to improve design coverage by utilizing genetic algorithms added to standard UVM verification environments running in Questa. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, the article will utilize real-world data from the verification of a 32-bit ASIP Codasip® processor.
Unit Testing Your Way to a Reliable Testbench

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Neil Johnson

Writing tests, particularly unit tests, can be a tedious chore. More tedious - not to mention frustrating - is debugging testbench code as project schedules tighten and release pressure builds. With quality being a non-negotiable aspect of hardware development, verification is a pay-me-now or pay-me-later activity that cannot be avoided.
Hardware Emulation: Three Decades of Evolution – Part II

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Dr. Lauro Rizzatti - Rizzatti LLC

In the second decade, the hardware emulation landscape changed considerably with a few mergers and acquisitions and new players entering the market. The hardware emulators improved notably via new architectures based on custom ASICs.
Accelerating RTL Simulation Techniques

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Lior Grinzaig - Marvell

Long simulation run times are a bottleneck in the verification process. Coding style has a significant effect on simulation run times. Therefore, it is imperative that the code writer examine his/her code, not only by asking the question “does the code produce the desired output?” but also “is the code economical, and if not, what can be done to improve it?”
Emulation Based Approach to ISO 26262 Compliant Processors Design

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by David Kaushinsky - Siemens EDA

This article reviews the use of processors in the automotive industry, the origin of faults in processors, architectures of fault tolerant processors and techniques for processor verification with fault injection. We then propose an emulation-based framework for performing fault-injection experiments on embedded processor architectures.
Resolving the Limitations of a Traditional VIP for PHY Verification

Article - Jun 06, 2015 by Amit Tanwar, Manoj Manu - Siemens EDA

This article describes the limitations of a traditional VIP for PHY verification, which can typically be resolved using an exclusive PHY verification kit. The common PHY found in PCI Express, USB 3.0 and 3.1, and SATA devices help accelerate development of these devices by implementing the physical layer functionality as a discreet IC or macro cell, which can be easily included in ASIC designs.
