How to create and run reusable register-test models

March 11, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

reusable register-test models

by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business Register tests are a very useful smoke test at all design levels — from IP to subsystem to SoC. While the built-in register-test sequences in the UVM library are useful at the IP level, capturing register-test intent in a PSS model makes register-test functionality portable from the IP […]

Retargeting existing tests in an integrated SoC verification flow

March 6, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business The raison d’etre for portable stimulus is reuse. The Accellera Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) promotes test intent reuse throughout the verification process and across the multiple engines on which those verification runs are performed. Test intent captured as portable stimulus models enables test reuse from the IP to […]
