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