Mentor Graphics Library of Questa Multi-view Verification Components Supports HDMI

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that
the Questa® Multi-view Verification Components (MVC)
library now supports HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a
compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital
data. The Questa MVC library helps speed up functional verification
of integrated circuits (ICs) incorporating HDMI interface logic,
and drastically improves verification coverage for today’s complex
multi-media platforms.
Lowering the Barriers to Mixed-abstraction
Verification
The complexity of today’s SoC verification environments often
requires designers to spend valuable time building and verifying
multiple, and usually incompatible, verification models of a single
block to support system-level, TLM-level and RTL-level
verification. This lack of consistency prevents teams from easily
moving up and down in abstraction and maximizing verification
effectiveness.
Mentor’s unique Questa Multi-view Verification Components can
connect to any level of abstraction from system to gates – ensuring
consistent model behavior and giving the verification team more
options to improve performance and increase coverage. The
multi-view technology greatly reduces debug time through
recognition of protocol stacks. This allows simulation results,
from RTL verification, to be viewed as sequences of initiated
transactions and responses, with the RTL signal activity correlated
to a higher level transaction view of activity.
Each protocol, such as the HDMI, supported by the Questa MVC
library includes a verification plan with full coverage metrics
that integrates with the Questa Verification Management system. The
verification plan easily incorporates into hierarchical full-chip
verification plans. Questa Verification Management provides
visibility into the status of the verification process by providing
correlation of coverage metrics to the verification plan.
“The MVC library, which is written in SystemVerilog, supports
OVM 2.0 with stimulus generation, reference checking, monitoring
and functional coverage for popular protocols such as HDMI,” said
Stephen Bailey, director of product marketing for the Design
Verification Technology Division of Mentor. “This enables fast
development of tests for all aspects of standard protocols for
directed and constrained-random verification environments.”
Availability
Questa MVC support for HDMI is available immediately.
Questa Functional Verification Platform
The Questa functional verification platform combines
high-performance and high-capacity with the most comprehensive
verification capabilities in the industry. Assertion-based
Verification (ABV), intelligent testbench automation, Multi-view
Verification Components (MVC), and Coverage-driven Verification
(CDV) are supported natively by the Questa platform’s
high-performance assertion engine; a modern, high-performance
constraint solver; and extensive functional coverage features,
including verification management leveraging the Unified Coverage
Database (UCDB). Verification of low power design functionality can
be proven in an RTL environment with power-aware functional
verification. This full set of advanced verification functionality
is enabled by a flexible Open Verification Methodology (OVM 2.0)
that delivers unrivaled language and feature support in any design
and verification flow.
