Functional verification is the art and science of demonstrating that an electronic design works correctly and is ready to move from the drawing board to manufacture. Functionally verifying a complex design is a time consuming and expensive process. The means by which a design is functionally verified is to build a TESTBENCH, a piece of software which exercises the design and determines whether the design works correctly and whether or not sufficient testing has been done.This book...
More DescriptionFunctional verification is the art and science of demonstrating that an electronic design works correctly and is ready to move from the drawing board to manufacture. Functionally verifying a complex design is a time consuming and expensive process. The means by which a design is functionally verified is to build a TESTBENCH, a piece of software which exercises the design and determines whether the design works correctly and whether or not sufficient testing has been done.This book demonstrates, in a high-accessible, step-by-step manner, the Advanced Verification Methodology from Mentor Graphics, a methodology for building reusable verification components and assembling them into complex testbenches. Application of the AVM can increase verification productivity and increase confidence that a design has been successfully verified. The AVM includes a software library that is implemented in both SystemC and SystemVerilog, the two programming languages most commonly used for building testbenches.
