Compact Flash Verification IP

Overview

CF Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the Compact Flash operations. The SmartDV's CF Verification IP is fully compliant with revision 1.0/2.0/3.0 and 4.0 of the CF Specification and provides the following features.

Compact Flash Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

Compact Flash Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
