This document discusses challenges in using the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) at the system-on-chip (SoC) level and proposes solutions. It outlines key features of UVM, then describes challenges like lack of control over UVM verification components from C code and difficulty reusing test cases across different levels. The document proposes a wrapper to connect UVM and SystemC ports and adds a TLM export and register-controlled sequence to allow processor control over sequences. It demonstrates controlling a sequence from a processor through this interface. Finally, it discusses areas like seamless UVM-SystemC connections that could be improved in future UVM versions.

An interrupt-driven routine handles periodic time updates while a foreground program processes button presses and checks for alarm conditions. The document outlines the system architecture and approaches to testing the design.
This document outlines a workshop on the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).

System verilog verification building blocksNirav Desai
SystemVerilog introduces key concepts like program blocks, interfaces, and clocking blocks to help with verification. Program blocks separate the testbench code from the design code to avoid race conditions. Interfaces encapsulate communication between blocks and help prevent errors from manual port connections. Clocking blocks synchronize signal drivers and allow specifying timing for sampled signals. Together these features help manage complexity when verifying designs.
Radio Frequency Test Stands for Remote ControllersUjjal Dutt, PMP
The document describes the development of four test stands for testing radio frequency remote control components using LabVIEW and LabVIEW Test Executive. Key challenges included the complexity of tests, parallel product and test stand development, and managing a large team. Test stands were developed for transmitter PCB, receiver PCB, receiver assembly, and transmitter assembly. LabVIEW Test Executive provided an easily customizable solution that met requirements like automatic test sequencing and configurable security levels. Individual tests were developed as LabVIEW VIs and integrated into the test sequence using state queues.
The document discusses CPU verification. It describes verifying at both the architecture and microarchitecture levels. Architecture verification ensures instruction set compliance through random instruction sequences. Microarchitecture verification focuses on implementation details like pipelines and caches using constrained random verification. Milestones track progress through metrics like test plan completion, regression pass rates, functional coverage, and bug trends.
As the complexity of the scan algorithm is dependent on the number of design registers, large SoC scan
designs can no longer be verified in RTL simulation unless partitioned into smaller sub-blocks. This paper
proposes a methodology to decrease scan-chain verification time utilizing SCE-MI, a widely used
communication protocol for emulation, and an FPGA-based emulation platform. A high-level (SystemC)
testbench and FPGA synthesizable hardware transactor models are developed for the scan-chain ISCAS89
S400 benchmark circuit for high-speed communication between the host CPU workstation and the FPGA
emulator. The emulation results are compared to other verification methodologies (RTL Simulation,
Simulation Acceleration, and Transaction-based emulation), and found to be 82% faster than regular RTL
simulation. In addition, the emulation runs in the MHz speed range, allowing the incorporation of software
applications, drivers, and operating systems, as opposed to the Hz range in RTL simulation or submegahertz
range as accomplished in transaction-based emulation. In addition, the integration of scan
testing and acceleration/emulation platforms allows more complex DFT methods to be developed and
tested on a large scale system, decreasing the time to market for products.
The PinPoint system provides benchtop diagnostic testing of printed circuit boards. It offers fixtureless testing through multiple strategies like in-circuit, impedance signatures, and reverse engineering. PinPoint can rapidly diagnose faults down to the component level. It features various test methods like in-circuit, analog functional, and analog signature analysis. PinPoint integrates with functional test systems and has typical fault coverage including opens, shorts, voltage, and functional failures. It provides automated diagnostic programming to reduce time to identify issues.

Microcontroller Based Testing of Digital IP-CoreVLSICS Design
Testing core based System on Chip [1] is a challenge for the test engineers. To test the complete SOC at one time with maximum fault coverage, test engineers prefer to test each IP-core separately. At speed testing using external testers is more expensive because of gigahertz processor. The purpose of this paper is to develop cost efficient and flexible test methodology for testing digital IP-cores [2]. The prominent feature of the approach is to use microcontroller to test IP-core. The novel feature is that there is no need of test pattern generator and output response analyzer as microcontroller performs the function of both. This approach has various advantages such as at speed testing, low cost, less area overhead and greater flexibility since most of the testing process is based on software.
This document discusses test automation strategies for embedded systems. It outlines key points like developing a test automation framework, defining the testing scope and estimating costs. It also describes challenges like accessing information on an embedded device in real-time and handling different device configurations. An example system architecture is shown using custom hardware, FPGA and drivers to test multiple device under test systems and coordinate the test stand farm from a central server.
