Microwire Verification IP

Microwire Verification IP is the serial synchronous communication protocol developed by National Semiconductor. Microwire Verification IP can be used to verify Master or Slave device following the Microwire Serial Interface basic protocol as defined . It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.

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

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