MIPI SLIMBUS Verification IP

Overview

MIPI SLIMbus Verification IP Provides the mobile industry a standard, robust, scalable, low-power, high-speed, cost-effective, two wire, multi-drop interface that supports a wide range of digital audio and control solutions for mobile terminals. MIPI SLIMbus Verification IP provides a smart way to verify the MIPI SLIMbus standard data transmission and control interfaces between Host and device. The SmartDV's MIPI SLIMbus Verification IP is fully compliant with version 1.01.01/2.0 MIPI Alliance specification for serial Interface and provides following features.

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

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