eSPI (Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface) Assertion IP

Overview

eSPI (Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface) Assertion IP provides an efficient and smart way to verify the eSPI designs quickly without a testbench. The SmartDV's eSPI Assertion IP is fully compliant with standard eSPI Specification and provides the following features.

eSPI (Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface) Assertion IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

eSPI (Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface) Assertion IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
