eMMC Verification IP

Overview

eMMC Verification IP is an advanced solution in the market for the verification of eMMC implementations. It is adherent with eMMC standard JESD84-A441, JESD84-B45, JESD84-B50, JESD84-B51, JESD84-B51A & eMMC 5.2(Draft). It can generate all command types. The eMMC VIP monitor acts as powerful protocol-checker, fully compliant with eMMC JESD84-B51 specification.

eMMC JESD84-A441, JESD84-B45, JESD84-B50, JESD84-B51, JESD84-B51A and eMMC 5.2(Draft) includes extensive test suite covering most of the possible scenarios and eMMC conformance norms. eMMC JESD84-A441, JESD84-B45, JESD84-B50, JESD84-B51, JESD84-B51A & eMMC 5.2(Draft) VIP can perform all protocol tests as testbench and moreover it allows an easy generation of a very high number of patterns and a set of specified patterns to stress the DUT.

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

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