1.3.1. Simulation Testing

The test suite contains testbenches that use the Cadence Serial RapidIO Verification IP (VIP), the Cadence Compliance Management System (CMS) implementation of the RapidIO Trade Association interoperability checklist, and the RapidIO bus functional model (BFM) from the RapidIO Trade Association to verify the functionality of the IP core.

The test suite confirms various functions, including the following functionality:
  • Link initialization
  • Packet format
  • Packet priority
  • Error handling
  • Throughput
  • Flow control
Constrained random techniques generate appropriate stimulus for the functional verification of the IP core. Functional and code coverage metrics measure the quality of the random stimulus, and ensure that all important features are verified.
