SPI/SPANSION FLASH Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the serial synchronous communication protocol.The SmartDV's SPI/SPANSION 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 S25FL008A and S25FL512S Specification and provides the following features. It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.
SPI/SPANSION FLASH Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
SPI/SPANSION FLASH Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
- Features
-
- Follows SPI/SPANSION FLASH basic specification as defined in S25FL008A and S25FL512S.
- Support Master and Slave Mode
- Supports data width of 8 bit
- Supports bus width 1 bit and 4 bit
- Support baud rate selection
- Supports standard, fast and high speed operations.
- Support internal clock division check.
- Supports flexible erase operation like,
- 4KByte sector erase.
- 8KByte block erase.
- 32KByte block erase.

- Built in functional coverage analysis.
- Supports backdoor initialization of data.
- Status counters for various events on bus.
- Supports single,dual bus width operation
- Supports Callbacks in master, slave and monitor for modifying, and sampling data/cmd on SPI/SPANSION FLASH.
- SPI/SPANSION FLASH Slave can be configured as standard device or can use FIFO for data passing.
- Master contains rich set of commands for both standard device and FIFO model mode.
- Notifies the test bench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, and protocol violations. This can be written to separate log files.
