Assertion Based IP
Assertion-based IP. The design of systems in the 21st century is necessarily one of decomposition of product requirements into functional subsystems. Often these subsystems are implemented with a mix of commercial and in-house design IP. In order to fit into a modern design flow, each design IP should be accompanied by a verification IP (VIP) and a verification plan IP (VPIP). If an electronic system level (ESL) design flow is employed, the VIP and VPIP are employed twice in the flow: during post-partitioning verification and implementation verification. In post-partitioning verification, the behavior of the abstract hardware and software models is demonstrated to conform to their functional specifications. During implementation verification, the behavior of the RTL and embedded production software is demonstrated to conform with the behavior of their corresponding abstract models, as well as with implementation requirements captured in design specifications. Hence, the role of VIP and VPIP is becoming increasingly important, requiring rigorous development processes. Verification IP is available across
