IP软核测试策略及验证方法研究

IP soft-core test strategy and verification methods

近年来随着科技的不断进步和发展,集成电路的也在不断发展,呈现出来愈加复杂的趋势,所以芯片的设计也不断的出现了功能的增强、集成程度的提高的发展的趋势。系统芯片SoC成为当下主流的趋势下,IP核也在飞速发展。IP核也就是知识产权IP,分为软核IP、固核IP、硬核IP,其中软核IP以其灵活性高的优点,在复杂的设计中有较强的优势。但是在IP软核的实际应用中,也存在很大的困难和挑战,因此为了能更好的对IP软核进行应用,对IP核进行测试和验证具有重大的意义。文中通过对IP软核的特点进行概述,进而对IP软核的测试和验证方法进行研究,提出方案,以促进IP软核的应用及发展。

As technology continues to progress and development in recent years, integrated circuits are constantly development of present increasingly complex trends, chip design enhancements constantly improve the degree of integration of the development trend. System-on-chip SoC and become the mainstream trend, IP core is also developing rapidly. IP core intellectual property IP, divided into soft-core IP, solid-core IP, hard IP, soft core IP advantage of its high flexibility in the complexity of the design has a strong advantage.But in the practical application of IP soft core, there are also a lot of difficulties and challenges, IP soft core application, testing and validation of the IP core of great significance. This paper an overview of the characteristics of the IP soft-core, and then on the IP soft-core testing and verification methods to study a proposal to promote the application and development of IP soft core.
