Serial Flash is the serial synchronous communication protocol based Flash VIP, supporting all major Serial Flash vendors. Serial Flash VIP can be used to verify Serial Flash Master or Slave in SOC. It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.
Serial Flash Verification IP
is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
Serial Flash Verification IP
comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
