Overview

The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard defines an industry-wide consistent way of using SystemVerilog for the verification of complex designs. UVM enables engineers to write thorough and reusable test environments. UVM is a robust methodology with many advanced features. In this Mastering SystemVerilog UVM workshop, engineers will learn to apply UVM for transaction level verification, constrained random test generation, coverage, and scoreboarding. Topics include UVM testbench phases, UVM class libraries, UVM utilities, UVM factories, UVM sequencers, UVM drivers, UVM Monitors, UVM scoreboards, UVM registers, and configuring UVM tests. The UVM 1.1 and 1.2 standards are presented in the class discussions. Several labs reinforce the concepts presented during the course.

Available Formats and Course Lengths

This workshop is available in two configurations:

• As a stand-alone workshop for engineers who are already familiar with SystemVerilog object-oriented programming.
  •  Instructor-led onsite private workshop: 3-days
  •  Instructor-led eTutored™ live online workshop: 4-days
  •  Instructor-mentored eTutored™ self-paced online workshop: 2 to 30 days
• Combned with Sutherland HDL's "SystemVerilog Object Oriented Verification" workhsop for engineers who have not had formal training or substantial experience with SystemVerilog programming.
  •  Instructor-led onsite private workshop: 5-days

Intended Audience and Objectives

This workshop is for verification engineers who will be using UVM to code complex testbenches and stimulus for digital designs. After completing this workshop, engineers will know the types of verification components that make up a UVM testbench, transaction-level modeling, the proper ways to use UVM phasing and objections, and how to ensure a UVM testbench will work correctly with the UVM 1.1 and 1.2 standards.

Prerequisite Knowledge (essential - no exceptions)

Attendees must already be familiar with SystemVerilog's object oriented programming features and constrained random value generation. UVM is based on advanced object oriented programming techniques. UVM provides a library of SystemVerilog object-oriented class definitions, which engineers extend to write a complete UVM testbench. UVM also utilizes the use of SystemVerilog testbench interfaces and verification clocking blocks. Engineers attending this workshop are expected to already have a strong foundation in the SystemVerilog language. This foundation can come from prior experience with SystemVerilog, or by completing Sutherland HDL's "SystemVerilog Object Oriented Verification" workshop.

Included Materials

• Full-color training binder with lecture slides, lab instructions, and supplemental information. (eTutored™ self-paced courses receive an eBook instead of a binder.)
• Lab files, including example solutions that illustrate proper and efficient coding styles.

Customized Training

At times, your engineering team may require unique training to meet the needs of your specific projects.  Sutherland HDL can customize our standard workshops to meet those needs, when presented as a private onsite or online workshop.  request info
