浅谈SoC模块级与系统级的验证

On the SoC Module Level and System Level Validation

SoC芯片通常包含有复杂的数据通路,对复杂的数据通路的验证非常具有挑战性。无线通信SoC中包括很多功能模块,为了验证其复杂的数据通路的正确性,需要对每个功能模块进行模块级的验证。由于SoC验证已经成为整个流程中的重心,所以努力研发新的验证方法及设备,不断完善SoC验证计划和平台是当前的主要任务。以SD控制器和芯片系统(SoC)为例,探讨SoC模块级和系统级的验证,先确定验证策略并编写测试计划,再创建测试平台,最后对复杂的数据进行测试。

SoC chip usually contains complex data access, which is very challenging for complex data access validation. Wireless communication SoC includes many function modules. In order to verify tbe correctness of the complex path of data, we need to verify each functional module at the module level. Since SoC verification has become the center of gravity in the process, it is the main task to develop new validation methods and equipment and constantly improve the SoC verification plan and platform. This essay, taking SD controller and chip system （SoC） as an example, showing SoC module level and system level validation, determines validation strategy and works out a test plan before creating test platform and testing the complex data.
