Basic Testbench for a Simple DUT

Presenter: Espen Tallaksen, CEO of EmLogic Abstract Part 1: Functional simulation using an HDL testbench is the de facto method for proving functional correctness of FPGA designs. In this three-part webinar series we will present… Basic Testbench for a Simple DUT

The Power of VHDL’s VHPI

The programming interfaces of logic simulators are largely the domain of specialists writing proprietary tools and extensions and are only vaguely in the consciousness of many design and verification engineers, if aware at all. Yet… The Power of VHDL’s VHPI

3rd Workshop on Open-Source Design Automation

Call for papers There is no doubt that proprietary EDA tools are successful, mature, and fundamental for hardware development. However, the “walled garden” approach created by closed-source tool flows can hamper novel FPGA/ASIC-based applications and… 3rd Workshop on Open-Source Design Automation

Assertions-Based Verification for VHDL Designs

Assertion-based verification (ABV) enables the use of assertions for the efficient verification of low-level design properties. These assertions could be verified by simulation and formal verification methods. The VHDL 2008 standard includes Property Specification language… Assertions-Based Verification for VHDL Designs

Advances in OSVVM’s Verification Data Structures

OSVVM has grown tremendously over the last couple of years. This period saw simulator independent scripting, test reporting, model independent transactions, virtual transaction interfaces, and additional verification components, each added and incrementally improved. We have… Advances in OSVVM’s Verification Data Structures

OSVVM’s Test Reports and Simulator Independent Scripting

According to the 2020 Wilson Verification Survey FPGA verification engineers spend 46% of their time debugging.  As a result, we need good scripting to simplify running tests and good reports to simplify debug and help… OSVVM’s Test Reports and Simulator Independent Scripting

Better FPGA Verification with VHDL – Faster than “Lite” Verification Component Development with OSVVM

Some methodologies (or frameworks) are so complex that you need a script to create the initial starting point for writing verification components, test cases, and/or the test harness.  SystemVerilog + UVM is certainly like this.… Better FPGA Verification with VHDL – Faster than “Lite” Verification Component Development with OSVVM
