No RTL Yet? No Problem. UVM Testing a SystemVerilog Fabric Model
SystemVerilog is a powerful language which can be used to build models of RTL in order to facilitate early testbench testing. The early RTL model uses higher level abstractions like SystemVerilog threads, queues, dynamic arrays and associative arrays. Using high level abstractions allows a functional model to be created with little effort. A simple fabric model is created implementing AXI-like READY/VALID channels.
