Base VIP

Base VIP is a fully featured UVM verification IP to be used as basis for building more complex verification IP customized to any specific need.

• integrates score boarding (scbd) and comparator when needed:
  • driver (drv) versus monitor (mon) if configured as ACTIVE (default: PASSIVE)
  • composer (cpsr) versus monitor (mon) if configured to have a composer (default: no composer)
• integrates a register model adapter (adp) if configured to have an adapter (default: no adapter)
• integrates score board filtering to filter out specific transactions (default: filter forward all transactions to score board)
• integrates coverage collection if configured to have coverage (default: UVM_NO_COVERAGE)
