ONFI (Open Nand Flash Interface) provides an smart way to verify the ONFI host controller or ONFI Flash memory model of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's ONFI is fully compliant with standard ONFI Specification and provides the following features.
Open Nand Flash Interface (ONFI) is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
Open Nand Flash Interface (ONFI) comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
