Open Verification Library (OVL) is a library of property checkers for digital circuit descriptions written in popular Hardware Description Languages and maintained by Accelera. The OVL checkers could be used not only in dynamic simulation, but also in formal verification and emulation. Also, the OVL-based verification technology provides the easiest way for designers to implement assertion-based verification of their design. Finally, OVL supports any HDL language (Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL), enabling assertion-based verification with any simulation tools.

In this webinar, we will present practical guidance on how to start using Open Verification Library (OVL) in design and verification process. We will provide various code examples to demonstrate how to efficiently use OVL for Verilog and VHDL design verification. Static formal and emulation-based verification methods using OVL will be outlined as well.

Agenda:

  • Assertion-Based Verification: An Overview
  • Introduction to Assertion-Based Verification with OVL
  • Applying OVL – based verification on HDL designs
  • Using OVL checkers in emulation/prototyping
  • Formal Model checking with OVL
  • Live-Demo

 

Automating the UVM Register Abstraction Layer (RAL)

This post focuses on the UVM Register Abstraction Layer (RAL), sometimes called the UVM Register Layer. Today’s large system-on-chip (SoC) designs contain many control and status registers, often accessible from embedded software or drivers as well as hardware.

Automation of IP and SoC development

Agnisys has expanded its original focus on register automation to encompass specification-driven design, verification, embedded programming, validation, and documentation of IPs and SoCs This expansion is a testament to Agnisys growth and the many challenges semiconductor development teams face.

Aldec Riviera-PRO™ UVM-Generator

Riviera-PRO™ has been enhanced with an automatic UVM generator function The addition promises to significantly increase the productivity of Riviera PRO users who take advantage of the Universal Verification Methodology, which provides guidance for creating and reusing verification testbenches.

ALDECs dedication to the Aerospace market

Our customers who develop avionics systems use our verification tools and solutions to design and verify their FPGAs installed on line replaceable units or circuit boards. For the majority of airborne electronic hardware, FPGAs have been the hardware technology of choice economically.

Efinix, Aldec and supply situation on the FPGA market
