Advanced topics in SV Verification Methodology (VMM/Pre-UVM)

🚀 Advanced topics in SystemVerilog Verification Methodology (VMM/Pre-UVM) - Your Path to Mastering SV Verification!

🎉 Course Introduction: Welcome to our in-depth course on Advanced topics in SystemVerilog Verification Methodology (VMM/Pre-UVM)! 🎓 We've designed this course with a dynamic learning experience in mind, blending slides, live presentations, and whiteboard sessions to bring the material to life beyond the traditional slide-and-audio format. If you're looking for a more traditional style of learning with labs included, reach out and we can guide you there as well.

🎯 Course Objectives:

• Understand Factory OOP Pattern: Grasp the key concepts and how it fits into the verification landscape.
• Callbacks Mastery: Learn about callbacks and other design patterns crucial to effective verification.
• Sequences & Scenarios: Discover the power of sequences and scenarios in your verification process.
• Scheduler Insights: Delve into how schedulers, especially UVM Sequencers, function within the verification methodology.

📚 Prerequisites: To fully benefit from this course, you should already be well-versed in the Verification features of SystemVerilog and possess a basic understanding of verification methodologies such as VMM/UVM. If you're new to these concepts, we recommend starting with our foundational Udemy course: "SystemVerilog Verification Methodology - using VMM (Pre-UVM)".

🔥 Course Topics:

• Factory Pattern:

  • Introduction and requirements for implementing a factory pattern in your verification environment.
  • Explore the design methods used to create generators with customizable outputs.

• Callbacks:

  • A comprehensive look at the introduction, requirements, and implementation of callbacks within transactors.
  • Understand how to add hooks for error injection, declare façade classes, and register callbacks effectively.

• Scenario Generator (Precursor to UVM Sequences):

  • Address common challenges with array randomization in SystemVerilog.
  • Learn how to leverage a pre-built scenario generator and extend it for your specific use case.
  • Explore the concept of tweaking election policies to enhance your verification strategy.

• Notifications in VMM:

  • Understand the process of defining, configuring, notifying, and synchronizing events.
  • Get familiar with different types of notifications and their applications.

• Scheduler (Similar to UVM Sequencer):

  • Gain insights into scheduler operations and how they can be leveraged in your verification environment.

• Broadcaster:

  • Explore the concept of a broadcaster and its role in the verification ecosystem.

📖 Course Slides & Content: While our slides are based on VMM's base class library, the concepts covered are highly relevant and applicable to UVM users as well. Our narration will bridge these concepts with their UVM counterparts, ensuring a seamless learning experience for all.
