SRIOV Verification IP

Overview

SRIOV Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the PCIE bi-directional bus. The SmartDV's SRIOV Verification IP is fully compliant with version 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.0/5.0 of the PCIE Specification, 1.0/1.1 of the SRIOV Specification and provides the following features.

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

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