  • Project:
  • 1) NIC model : To generate an interconnect(NIC model) which can connect almost 69X90 master and slaves respectively from different protocols. This further involves the bridging(conversion of 1 protocol to another), arbitration, decoding & driving of different protocols to different channels. This was achieved by using UVM methodology and SV language. Automation using perl was also a part of it and different denali VIPs were modeled to integrate as masters and slaves.
  • 2) SD host controller:- To develop and integrate a SD Host controller (which involve different protocols like SD/eMMC ) into an SOC environment. This was achieved using System Verilog and the verification environment was developed under C which was further used using DPIs into the SV environment. This C tests environment is then converted into UVM-Methodology and further verification of SOC is done by adding covergroups, assertions and mapping the coverage metrics to vPlan
  • Experience Gained :
  • Protocol - SD/eMMC, AXI, AHB, APB,
  • Tool - IUS, IMC, Simvison, Pureview, Perl
  • Technology- System Verilog, C-DPIs, UVM, SOC integration
