Introduction to the UVM

Track - Aug 04, 2014 by Ray Salemi

The Introduction to the UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) course consists of twelve sessions that will guide you from rudimentary SystemVerilog through a complete UVM testbench.
UVM: What's New, What's Next and Why You Care

Webinar - Jun 25, 2014 by Tom Fitzpatrick

This session will teach you everything you need to know about the future of UVM. We'll briefly cover the new features included in UVM1.2 and how to minimize their impact, and we'll identify the key subset of UVM features that will make your environment truly reusable from block to system-level verification while providing the ideal platform for integrating new solutions and standards.
Best Practices for FPGA and ASIC Development

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Josh Rensch - Siemens EDA

This is an overview of best practices for FPGA or ASIC design, assuming a traditional waterfall development process. There are four development phases: PLAN, EXECUTE, VERIFY and SUPPORT. A review step is recommended between each phase, as prescribed by DO-254. These concepts can be used in alternative methodologies, like Agile.
Visualizer Debug Environment: Class-based Testbench Debugging using a New School Debugger – Debug This!

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Rich Edelman

Heard in the hall… "New School Debugger! Wow! I can't wait. But I'm skeptical. What makes it new? And does it even work? No one likes to debug a testbench. But it would be nice to have something to make life easier for testbench debug. Does it work in post-simulation mode? OK. I'll listen." The testbench isn't the product.
Optimizing Emulator Utilization

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Russell Klein

Emulators, like Siemens EDA Veloce, are able to run designs in RTL orders of magnitude faster than logic simulators. As a result, emulation is used to execute verification runs which would be otherwise impractical in logic simulation.
MIPI LLI Verification using Questa Verification IP

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Vaibhav Gupta - Siemens EDA

In this article, we will discuss how sequence items are useful to generate stimulus on multiple layers of LLI QVIP, how the combination of LLI QVIP based on coverage-driven methodology and protocol capturing XML plans can boost verification completeness, how the combination of protocol assertions and error injection method is useful to generate the error scenario, check the behavior of the LLI design, and how the scoreboard is useful to check the data integrity between LLI design and LLI QVIP.
Stories of an AMS Verification Dude: Model Shmodel

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Martin Vlach

Well here I am again. Last time I talked about putting stuff together, and when I mean stuff, it turned out that the digital folks handed me an RTL and the analog dudes gave me a SPICE netlist. I finally got it all working together, and let ‘er rip, thinking that this was easy and I’ll be done in no time. But that “no time” turned into hours, and then days, and then nights, too.
Merging SystemVerilog Covergroups by Example

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Eldon Nelson - Micron

This article describes the effect of implementing covergroup choices on how the resulting covergroup behaves when merged. The source code of the examples, along with their structural diagrams, as well as screen shots of the resulting covergroups, taken from Mentor Questa, will help illustrate those choices in a simple way.
Increasing Verification Productivity Through Functional Coverage Management Automation

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Samrat Patel, Vipul Patel - eInfochips

This article describes a simple methodology which addresses all the above issues. It uses the concept of inheritance and can be implemented as a tool in conjunction with Questa. This customization methodology can be used across all protocols.
Use of Iterative Weight-Age Constraint to Implement Dynamic Verification Components

Article - Jun 16, 2014 by Mahak Singh, Siddhartha Mukherjee - Truechip

In this article we will explain how weight-age constraints can be used for randomized verification with maximum coverage near the corners and some coverage in the middle, thus saving verification time and getting good coverage faster.
