The RapidIO Verification IP (VIP) from Mobiveil serves as a high-end compliance verification solution for the RapidIO protocol. Built on a System Verilog (SV) framework and supporting the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), this VIP can integrate seamlessly with any UVM compliant verification setup. Its design separates operations into Logical, Transport, and Physical layers, ensuring comprehensive protocol adherence and functionality.
The architecture includes monitored components that perform protocol checks aligned with the RapidIO standards. These components provide features such as hooks for implementing functional coverage, scoreboards, and comprehensive checkers, facilitating a robust verification environment. RapidIO VIP also offers an extensive suite of compliance tests, ensuring coverage of every possible protocol scenario, which simplifies the process of verification and minimizes corresponding efforts.
More specifically, its features include automated stimulus generation, granting users substantial flexibility in creating directed and random test scenarios. With controlled randomization and functional coverage, users can effectively assess the efficacy of randomization processes. This VIP is versatile enough for IP, system on chip (SoC), and more extensive system-level validations, making it a crucial component in verification workflows.
