UVM software for mm-wave quality tested

Constraint based random verification was enacted and high rates of detection were achieved quickly for both functional and code coverage. According to Mike Bartley, CEO of TVS, Blu Wireless SystemC designs were able to make use of a licence free environment.

“After discussions with the verification engineers at TVS, we agreed that the development of a custom UVM environment in SystemC would provide the coverage driven constrained random verification of our IP blocks within a tightly-defined budget,” commented Ray McConnell, CTO, Blu Wireless. “Working with TVS has enabled us to improve the quality of our outgoing IP through advanced verification techniques. Moreover, we have seen significant cost reduction through a license-free environment and offshore execution, which are key for a start-up like ourselves.”
