SPI/SERIAL FLASH Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the serial synchronous communication protocol.The SmartDV's SPI/SERIAL FLASH Verification IP is fully compliant with SPI Block Guide V04.01 of the Motorola's M68HC11 user manual rev 5.0 SPI-Bus Specification and serial flash sst25vf064c,sst25vf512 and sst25wf080 Specification and provides the following features. It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.
SPI/SERIAL FLASH Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
SPI/SERIAL FLASH Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
