The Simple Art of SoC Design

Abstract

This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of verifying RTL designs. In particular, we explore the opportunities presented by our proposed design approach. This approach – encapsulating the sequential code in a single state machine and combinational code in a set of functions – allows us to develop some powerful module level verification techniques. These techniques get us closer to a complete verification strategy than is possible using traditional design and coding practices.
