Tdd and a new paradigm for hardware verificationdrewz lin
The document discusses moving hardware verification from the "old paradigm" to a "new paradigm" inspired by test-driven development (TDD). The old paradigm involves long development cycles, emphasizing block-level over system-level testing, subjective definitions of done, and bug hunting. The new paradigm advocates incremental progress, prioritizing system-level integration and feedback early, precisely defining done, and using TDD to prevent bugs in test harnesses and models. A case study applying these new paradigm techniques found fewer bugs and a shorter verification cycle.

5. How do we know the IP will
work in the Chip?
— For most people, this is the largest single issue.
— For this reason, due diligence is key.
— Silicon results in the chip technology of interest is
paramount
— Also, this is why most buyers prefer to spread payouts over
time, tied to major milestones.
— Key Milestones
— Initial payment (to get the project moving)
— Delivery of GDS data
— Silicon validation and characterization (yield and datasheet)
— Product Qualification
JB Chritz IP Creation and Solutions Group Page # 5

results, is that a deal killer?
— This is a key issue that keeps many small shops out of the IP
business
— However, using this type of IP can reduce the user’s cost
considerably
— How can we “Qualify” an untested IP block?
— We really need some innovation here as the cost of Qualifying an IP
block is above $500K and climbing…
— Some ideas;
— Simulation reviews – What simulations were run across what PVT
corners? What were the vectors? Were all the datasheet parameters
measured?
— Design Rule violations – Are there any design rule violations? Has the
foundry approved these violations?
— Reduced up front payments, Royalties instead
JB Chritz IP Creation and Solutions Group Page # 6
7. How do I verify the Quality of
an IP block?
— Silicon Characterization Report:
— Does the IP meet it’s Datasheet?
— Across Process variations?
— What is the expected yield of this IP in a chip?
— Testimonials:
— How many chips use this IP?
— In what technologies
— Inputs from other customers
— Reliability Report:
JB Chritz IP Creation and Solutions Group Page # 7
8. What if the silicon doesn’t
work?
— Prepare for in situ debug, i.e. BIST
— This is the preferred method
— Access through available ports (JTAG, etc.)
— Acceptable, but much slower than BIST and probably not as
complete.
— Write code to access through chip logic
— Slow, tedious, and painful!
— People have spent 6 months debugged problems this way!
— By the time they figure out the problem, the market
window has closed!

10. EDA Tools
— Mainstream EDA vendors
— Traditional path for tools
— High cost – often >$150K per seat + 15% per year
maintenance
— Reasonable support model
— Open Source Tools
— Much cheaper to use
— How functional are they?
— What about maintenance?
— What about support? Turn-around time on bug fixes?
