Overview

Best-in-class OCP Verification IP for your IP, SoC, and system-level design testing.

In production since 2011 for dozens of designs.

The Cadence OCP Verification IP (VIP) provides a mature, highly capable compliance verification solution for the OCP Protocol. Used on multiple production designs, the OCP VIP is applicable for Intellectual Property (IP), System-on-Chip (SoC), and system-level verification. The VIP is compatible with the industry standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and runs on all leading simulators.

Product Highlights

  • Support testbench language interfaces for SystemVerilog, UVM, OVM, e, and SystemC
  • Generates constrained-random bus traffic
  • Responds to bus traffic as a subordinate
  • Monitors, checks, and collects coverage on bus traffic and interconnect
  • Collects and handles transaction history and also traces it for easy debugging
  • Includes hundreds of assertions for formal compliance verification
  • Supports transaction extension and error injection feature in UVM

Key Features

The following table describes key features from the specifications that are implemented in the VIP:

Feature Name

Description

OCP Manager
  • Full behavior of unlimited number of OCP managers capable of generating all types of OCP transfers

Blocking and Non-Blocking Flow Control Options
  • Supports both the blocking and non-blocking flow control options for the requests

Cache Coherence Extension
  • Partially supports the cache coherence feature. It supports both the main port and legacy port functionality. It supports only self-intervention as part of the intervention port functionality

Clock Enable
  • Supports the enable signal for clock

Connect/Disconnect Feature
  • Supports Connect-Disconnect feature for both Manager and Subordinate

Enhanced Semantics for Write Response Enabled
  • Ensures that the WRNP/WRC commands always have responses

Multi-Threading and Tagging
  • Supports multiple thread ids and multiple tag ids

Out-Of-Order Response
  • Supports out of order responses

Request Interleaving
  • Supports request interleaving. The interleaving depth is determined from the signal MAtomicLength

Responding to Bus Traffic as an OCP Subordinate
  • Emulates the full behavior of an unlimited number of OCP subordinates that respond to traffic over a bus and generates all types of responses to a DUT manager, according to OCP 2.2 Specification

Synchronous and Asynchronous Reset
  • Supports both synchronous and asynchronous reset. It also supports reset on the fly

Simulation Test Suite

VIP comes along with a testsuite of scenarios for easy VIP evaluation and deployment.
