Description

This course covers the topics, basics of UVM methodology, components, Objects, UVM Factory, configuration, phases, Reports. Step wise approach to build testbench using driver, sequencer, agent, environment, test and top test bench. Building sequences for verifying the features of an example IP. Outcome of this course, one can develop UVM testbench and testcases right from the scratch. The course is also covering an example test bench creation and explains how to write testcases. How to simulate. This is demonstrated with one simulator.

This course is useful for Students, who are studying BE/BTech/MTech in Electronics and communication and want to learn UVM, do internship. Also those who have completed Engineering , can opt for this course and learn UVM, simulate with free tools available in edaplayground.
