Simulation VIP for Bluetooth

Overview

Cadence Bluetooth Verification IP (VIP) is a part of the Cadence® wireless Verification IP portfolio. The Bluetooth VIP is compliant with the latest protocol updates for the Bluetooth 5.0 specification and supports functional models for HCI, LE Controllers and PHY. UART, USB or custom interface can be used as the transport layer for HCI. Bluetooth VIP can be used for verifying controller, PHY and Host independently or any valid combination of these blocks. It is targeted to support both Intellectual Property (IP) and System-On-Chip (SOC) verification needs, helping engineers to reduce time to first test, accelerate verification closure, and ensures end-product quality. The Bluetooth VIP is compatible with the industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and runs on all the leading simulators. Unlike other "wired" protocols, Bluetooth is wireless and a wireless channel model is provided to simulate this medium.

Supported specifications: Bluetooth specification versions 4.2 and 5.0.
