Abstract

A typical verification IP (VIP) of a bus protocol such as ARM AMBA or PCI consists of a set of assertions and associated verification aids like test-benches and coverage metrics. While, several languages have been formalized for specifying assertions (examples include OVA, Sugar, ForSpec, SVA, etc), the tasks of writing test-benches that produce protocol compliant stimuli and coverage monitors that reflect the coverage of the protocol functionality are also of significant importance. This paper presents a platform for high-level specification of a bus protocol and an automated methodology for generating a variety of verification aids that must supplement the set of assertions in a VIP.
