Verification of AMBA AHB2APB bridge using universal verification methodology (UVM)

With the progress in technology, tools and methodologies need to be improved to meet the challenges of transforming verification environment. The adoption of System Verilog[9] based Universal Verification Methodology[7] (UVM) bridges the gap between high-level proposition and low-level details of the design under verification. The intent of this paper is to throw light into benefits associated with AHB2APB verification using Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). An important feature for any of the SoC is based on how they interconnect. The Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) is on-chip bus architecture used to strengthen the reusability of IP core and widely used interconnection standard for system on chip (SOC).
