In the complex world of hardware design verification, success isn’t achieved through a single technique or methodology. Instead, it rests on three fundamental pillars that work together to ensure comprehensive and reliable verification: Stimulus, Checking, and Coverage. Understanding these pillars and their interconnected relationship is crucial for any verification engineer seeking to build robust, thorough […]
If you’re new to hardware verification, you’ve probably heard it’s one of the most challenging parts of chip design. You need to create tests that thoroughly exercise your hardware, catch bugs when they occur, and prove your design works correctly. Traditionally, this requires years of experience and deep expertise. But Large Language Models (LLMs) like
If you’re new to hardware verification, you’ve probably heard the term “UVM” thrown around in conversations, job postings, and technical discussions. Maybe it sounds intimidating or overly complex. Don’t worry—this guide will introduce you to Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re just starting your verification journey. What
