An AMBA Bus IP Core Evaluation Method Based on VIP

To design a modern SoC needs to integrate a large number of IP core. But IP core must be evaluated before integrated into the system. VIP is a reusable verification module, but also for the design to be tested to create a direct test scenarios and test sequences. This paper presents a method of using the VIP model to develop the IP core evaluation platform and builds the AMBA bus IP core evaluation platform based on the VIP model. The monitor monitors whether the bus protocol is violated. After the simulation, a detailed bus transfer report is given. The IP core of the AES encryption algorithm is evaluated by the evaluation platform, which verifies the validity and practicability of the IP core evaluation platform.
