Description
An intelligent method for verifying the RapidIO bi-directional two-wire bus is provided by Rapid IO Verification IP. Versions 4.1 and earlier of the RapidIO Interconnect Specification are compatible with the RapidIO Verification IP. A physical layer, a transport layer, and a logical layer are the three main implementation layers of RapidIO VIP. RapidIO technology is available as Parallel RapidIO and Serial RapidIO (SRIO) in the RapidIO Verification IP from SmartDV. The RapidIO VIP comes with a comprehensive test suite that covers the majority of potential scenarios. It executes all conceivable protocol tests in a guided or extremely random manner, adding the potential to generate the most scenarios to successfully verify the DUT in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, etc.
