AHB-APB Bridge Verification Project 🌉

Overview 📖

This repository contains the work and methodologies for the verification and validation of the AHB2APB bridge design. Our objective has been to employ both SystemVerilog and UVM-based test bench development methodologies to create Verification IP (VIP) components, ensuring a comprehensive and robust verification strategy for the AHB-APB Bridge design.

Key Phases 🚀

Phase 1: SystemVerilog-based Verification

• Established a simulation environment using QuestaSim and validated the basic functionality of the AHB2APB bridge.
• Constructed a verification environment using SystemVerilog, which comprised several components like transaction models, generators, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, and coverage collectors.
• Employed a modular, bottom-up verification methodology, beginning with individual components and advancing to more complex subsystems.

Phase 2: UVM-based Verification

• Transitioned from a traditional SystemVerilog approach to the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Developed a structured UVM environment with specialized components such as agents, sequencers, and an enhanced scoreboard.
• The UVM framework provided a blueprint for creating a highly reusable and modular verification environment, ensuring efficient testing of the AHB-APB Bridge design.

Features 🌟

• Modular and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) approach.
• Comprehensive test scenarios covering various functionalities of the bridge design.
• Two main phases of verification: SystemVerilog-based and UVM-based.
• Detailed documentation of each checkpoint and phase.

Conclusion 🏁

The AHB-APB Bridge Verification Project serves as an exhaustive verification suite, ensuring the bridge design's functionality and performance align with industry standards and best practices.
