Overview

The Unified Protocol (UniPro) specification defines a layered protocol for interconnecting devices and components within mobile device systems. It is applicable to a wide range of component types including application processors, co-processors, and modems, as well as different types of data traffic including control messages, bulk data transfer and packetized streaming. Implementing the UniPro specification reduces time-to-market and design costs by simplifying the interconnection of peripherals. In addition, the re-useable, extensible nature of the specification simplifies new feature implementation.

The MIPI® UniPro Controller IP, compliant with the latest MIPI UniPro v2.0 specification, provides the capability to control the UniPro link over a MIPI M-PHY link. Due to its generic nature, the MIPI UniPro Controller IP is capable of transporting any kind of data between applications like camera, display, and memory devices on the same physical link.

When the MIPI UniPro Controller IP is combined with the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Host Controller IP and the MIPI® M-PHY IP, the vendor provides a single vendor UFS IP solution that designers can easily integrate into application processors with less risk, while speeding time-to-market of advanced SoCs and device integrated circuits (ICs).

Leveraging UVM based UFS Test Suite approach for Accelerated Functional Verification of JEDEC UFS IP

With the rapid development of modern mobile systems there is a great increase in the complexity involved in the IP and SOC designs and correspondingly the functional verification also becomes a challenge. To reduce time to market, IPs needed for the SOC must be developed in parallel to the top level design and should be verified in parallel. This requires strong methodology and infrastructure support which allows the SOC design team to be aligned on the requirements with IP teams. Methodology should also ensure that SOC design team gets the required data for the IP to proceed with the complexity of SOC design.
