Interim Project Presentation “Title of the Project” Academic Guide: External Guide:
Aim of the Project To design PCI-E protocol and Verify the same with System Verilog VMM methodology.
Project Objectives • To review literature on PCI-Express and existing PCI/PCI-X protocols • To review literature on VMM methodology and existing OVM and AVM methodologies • To obtain the design specifications and suitable architecture for PCI-E Protocol • To develop a Finite State Machine (FSM) for PCI-E and model the developed FSM in System Verilog • To create effective VMM based Verification environment and verify PCI-E with the developed Verification environment
Methods and Methodology • Literature review on PCI-E and VMM Methodologies will be carried out by referring white papers, books, websites and related documents • Design specifications for PCI-E will be arrived at based on reviewed literature • Suitable architecture for PCI-E will be identified based on reviewed literature • Finite State Machine will be developed for PCI-E based on design functionality • Developed FSMs will be modeled individually in System Verilog to meet the specifications
Methods and Methodology (cont..) • SystemVerilog Assertions will be implemented in the modeled RTL appropriately • Advantages and disadvantages of adding assertions to the design at the verification stage will be identified • VMM based verification environment will be developed and the various components required for verification will be identified • Methods will be adopted to increase the re-usability of Verification components • Methodology developed will be implemented and the overall system will be verified with Constrained as well as Random test vectors • Functional and Code coverage will be analyzed and methods will be adopted to improve the coverage
