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.
Key features
NVMe VIP:
- NVMe 1.2 Compliance
- User configurable Admin/IO queue size and configuration Admin commands for IO queues and NVM read/write, reset, abort, identify, get and set features
- Supports PRP and PRP List
- All interrupt reporting: pin-based, single message MSI, multiple messages MSI, MSI-X
- Exhaustive checkers
- Exhaustive functional coverage
- Hook-ups for score boarding and additional processing
- Bandwidth calculator per direction per component
- Works with other PCle VIP and custom BFM/IF
NVMe Validation Test Suite
- System level test scenarios not covered by UNH-IOL

NVMe powers SSDs in the enterprise
With the emergence of non-volatile memory express (NVMe), a scalable host controller interface specifically developed for PCIe SSDs, and a supporting ecosystem plus dedicated devices such as NVMe programmable flash controller chips, the potential of PCIe SSDs for enterprise computing applications can be fully realized.
Controller Memory Buffer (CMB): NVMe 2.0’s On-Controller Memory Feature
Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) has become the dominant interface protocol for high-performance storage devices. As workloads demand ever-lower latencies, the NVMe specification has evolved with features that reduce data-path overhead. One such feature is the Controller Memory Buffer (CMB), which exposes on-controller memory directly to the host system.
