MIPI SoundWire Verification IP

The SmartDV Verification IP (VIP) for MIPI SoundWire provides an efficient and simple way to verify the MIPI SoundWire protocol bus. The SmartDV VIP for MIPI SoundWire is fully compliant version 1.2r08 MIPI SoundWire Bus Specification.

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

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