Processor Driven Verification
Technology Overview
Abstract
Using a full-functional processor model to drive bus-cycles into a block or chip level simulation is a powerful method to verify SoC designs. Since the end product is processor driven, this “real world” approach to verification is superior to bus-functional models. This session will present the full range of processor driven methods from sign-off simulation using an RTL pin-level model to OVM transaction-level processor models. Included is a live demonstration of Questa Codelink, a tightly integrated source-level debugger for processor-driven tests.
