The organization provides 8 structured learning modules for digital design and verification. Follow them in order: prerequisites → design → language → testbenches → verification planning → UVM (SystemVerilog, then Python) → a protocol case study.
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| learn_unix_git | Unix, Git, and tooling basics for digital design and verification courses. |
| learn_digital_verilog | Digital design with Verilog and SystemVerilog: logic, RTL, state machines, memory, and advanced techniques. |
| learn_verilog_systemverilog | Version-centric path for Verilog and SystemVerilog (IEEE 1364-1995 through IEEE 1800-2017): what each standard adds and how to migrate. |
| learn_verilator_iverilog | RTL testbenches using Verilog, SystemVerilog, iverilog, and Verilator (Verilog and C++ testbench flows). |
| verification_planning_management | Self-paced course on verification planning and management with SystemVerilog/UVM—learn what to verify and how to plan before implementing testbenches. |
| learn_uvm2017_sv_verilator | UVM in SystemVerilog (IEEE 1800.2-2017) with Verilator—examples and testbenches. |
| learn_uvm_pyuvm | UVM and pyuvm (Python UVM): modular learning path with examples and testbenches. |
| learn_uart_spi_i2c | Case study: UART, SPI, and I²C—specification, RTL, and UVM-based verification with Verilator (apply the full flow end-to-end). |
