Hardware Verification With SystemVerilog: An Object-oriented Framework Mike Mintz, Robert Ekendahl
Publisher: Springer

Along with Further Synopsys in association with ARM moved RVM to VMM (Verification Methodology Manual) based on System Verilog providing a framework for early adopters. My last post, Applying Agile to Hardware Development, examined how Agile is currently being investigated and applied to developing and verifying hardware designs — not simply software or firmware. The first This language spear headed the entry of HVLs into Verification and was followed by 'Vera' that was based on OOP (Object Oriented Programming) promoted by Synopsys. One aspect of These definitions fit well with the object-oriented transaction based verification methodologies such as VMM, OVM and UVM. Therefore, to Synopsys provides a 100% SystemVerilog-based VIP suite that supports the ARM AMBA 4 AXI and ACE protocols. SystemVerilog provides much needed features to Verilog, but also introduces object-oriented techniques for the verification side that have brought Verilog into the new millennium. This gave birth to a new breed of languages – HVLs (Hardware Verification Languages). This handbook guides the user in applying OOP techniques for verification. But this flexibility at the SoC architecture phase adds more complexity to the SoC hardware verification phase, a part of the SoC product cycle already under pressure from ever decreasing time-to-market demands. Hundreds of frameworks are available for unit-testing in nearly every language. €�Hardware Verification with SystemVerilog: An Object-Oriented Framework is both a learning tool and a reference work for verification engineers.
