Design of Wishbone-SPI verification platform based on UVM by Liu Sentai, Pang Yu, Wei Dong

“…Aiming at the poor reusability and low coverage of traditional verification platforms, this paper uses Universal Verification Methodology(UVM) to design the Wishbone-SPI verification platform, uses UVM components to flexibly build the verification platform, completes the standard verification framework, and designs constrained random stimulus, automatically counting function coverage. The simulation results show that the functional coverage of the verification platform reaches 100%, and shows that the platform has good configurability and reusability.…”
