Unified and Modular Modeling and Functional Verification Framework of Real-Time Image Signal Processors

Table 1

Challenges of previous verification framework.

FactorsDescription

ReusabilityDifferent verification languages at unit level (Specman(e)/Verilog) and system level (C/C++) verification framework.
Different verification methodologies both horizontally (across projects) and vertically (unit to system level verification).

ReproducibilitySignificant time was spent in reproducing the issue reported at SoC level at IP/subsystem level.
