| Conference: | DVCLUB Europe | Selection of 2021 DVCon/DAC Verification Papers |
| Speaker: | David Kelf, CEO, Breker Verification Systems. |
| Abstract: | SoC Verification has become more important in recent years. However, this task is challenging given the increased complexity of UVM for larger systems, emulation usage and the need to drive processors as part of the system. This tutorial will provide a method using a virtual realization layer, known as the Synthesizable VerificationOS, which can perform various OS-like capabilities while streamlining hardware verification tool usage. It may also be used to aid firmware verification with the hardware. This presentation was first delivered as a workshop at DVCon US 2021, which features Mike Chin, Principal Engineer at Intel. The full workshop may be found at brekersystems.com/soc-verification-and-the-synthesizable-verificationos-workshop/.
