One particularly challenging stage of SoC development is verifying that the complete design has been assembled correctly. This requires checking to be sure that both the software and hardware do what they are intended to do. Automating much of this process is possible using a combination of the Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) register models.
In the field of semiconductor design and verification, the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a key tool for achieving robust and efficient verification environments. At the heart of UVM lies the UVM register model, a crucial element that ensures seamless communications between software and hardware components.
