Part 6: FPGA Verification Language and Library Adoption Trends

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Jun 03, 2015 Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a series of blogs related to the 2014 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study ( click here ). In my previous blog , I focused on FPGA verification techniques and technologies adoption trends, as identified by the 2014 Wilson Research Group study. In this blog, I’ll present FPGA design and verification language trends, as identified by the Wilson Research Group study.
UVM Debug? Beyond Logfiles

Conference - Jun 01, 2015 Rich Edelman

Today UVM testbenches are widely used to generate stimulus variants, and collect functional coverage, and today's UVM testbenches are complex object-oriented software programs in their own right. And yet, debugging these testbenches is sometimes relegated to manually printing large quantities of information to the transcript file and trawling through it for snippets and symptoms. In this session, you will learn about tips and tricks to move beyond logfiles, towards better UVM Debug.

UVMC 2.3.1 Library

Resource (Reference Documentation) - May 15, 2015 John Stickley

The UVM Connect library provides TLM1 and TLM2 connectivity between SystemC and SystemVerilog models and components. It also provides a UVM Command API for accessing and controlling UVM simulation from SystemC (or C or C++). This document provides a user guide to the UVM-Connect API package itself as well as a primer on TLM-2.0 usage in general.
