Using VMM and Verification IP to Verify an AHB-Based Design

Abstract

This paper describes the use of VMM, Verification IP, and several of the new VMM Applications to quickly develop a verification environment for an AHB-Based system. VIP such as Synopsys DesignWare AHB Master and Monitor transactors enabled generation of valid transaction and ensured AHB protocol compliance. VMM sub-environment were used to encapsulate these components and simplify their reuse in higher level test environment.
