AMBA based Subsystems: What does it take to verify them? - The AMBA System Level EnvironmentVIP Central - Satyapriya Acharya, CAE, SynopsysDec. 17, 2012 |
In my previous blog (AMBA based Subsystems: What does it take to verify them?), I had talked about some of the key verification challenges when it comes to verifying complex SOCs based on AMBA based subsystems. It was seen that it would indeed be useful to have an extensible AMBA based verification environment which can be tweaked minimally so that it can be reused for the new systems or derivatives.
To enable the SOC verification engineers to create highly configurable AMBA fabric, the system environment should provide place-holders for hooking the DUT with any of the quintessential AMBA VIP components such as AXI3/4/ACE, AHB or APB. With the use of AMBA System environment we can configure it to instantiate as many number of AXI/AHB/APB VIP with minimal additional code. Thus, such an environment would need to encapsulate the following amongst others..
