Title
A configurable test infrastructure using a mixed-language and mixed-level IP integration IP-XACT flow
Abstract
We present a reusable test infrastructure for RTL designs as an application of mixed-level and mixed-language integration using the IP-XACT standard. The test infrastructure is configurable, meaning that specific configurations can be generated from a template. The main part of the components in the test infrastructure is implemented using the SystemC TLM2 standard. A small part is implemented in VHDL. The design technology to generate configurations uses the IP-XACT standard. We present an application of the reusable test infrastructure for randomized IC verification. To this end, a specific test configuration is integrated with additional stubs and a DUT which are described in Verilog and VHDL. Software images are executed both on the test bench and the DUT. Our results demonstrate an efficient integration flow for mixed-language and mixed-level IPs through flow automation.
