NVMe Verification IP

Overview

The NVMe Verification IP (VIP) and Post-Silicon Validation Suite are based on the latest protocol standards (NVMe 1.2) from www.nvme.org. These are available from elnfochips for licensing with support and related services.

NVMe Services

elnfochips offers industry leading expertise on NVMe for flash based SSD storage products. This includes design, verification and system validation for ASIC and FPGA. Customers can accel erate product design schedule for RnD teams while reducing product and performance risks with proven solutions and services.

NVMe Validation Suite

elnfochips NVMe Post-Silicon Validation Suite enables test scenarios that are defined by UNH-IOL (University of New Hampshire - Interoperability Lab) for performance and interoperability. It also covers other test scenarios for greater confidence on the product design and performance. It supports Windows and Linux OS.

NVMe Verification IP

The NVMe VIP is interoperable with other third party VIPs like PCle or SATA for a modular and comprehensive verification environment. This VIP is fully compliant to UVM, OVM, VMM and SystemVerilog.
