The Convergence of Emulation and Prototyping

During the development of a system on chip (SoC), hardware emulation and FPGA prototyping play distinct and essential roles.   ● Emulation is used to verify that a design meets its functional requirements, where the verification is performed by emulating the hardware and simulating (using a testbench) the environment in which it must perform....

Understanding the inner workings of UVM - Part 3
UVM Basics Part 3 of 3

In this blog, I am going to discuss different phases that UVM follows.   The reason why UVM came up with such phases is because synchronization among all design-testbench was necessary. Using Verilog and VHDL,...
