VC Verification IP for Fibre Channel
Synopsys VC Verification IP (VIP) for Fibre Channel is designed to thoroughly verify Fibre Channel designs using both random and directed simulation. The Fibre Channel VIP provides full protocol functionality and includes application layers that vastly simplify testbench development. Application layers provide simple APIs to act as a SCSI initiator, SCSI target or as a user-defined application.
Protocol Features
- Supports any speed, including 8Gb, 10Gb, 16Gb, 32Gb and 128Gb
- XAUI
- Supports L, N, and F ports
- SAM-4 Application level exerciser for both unit and system level testing
- Supports multiple instantiations to test multi-port hosts, switches or devices
- Configurable pattern generation for random, directed or erroneous patterns
- Constrained-randomized parameters to aid in coverage during randomized testing
- Statistics reported at each level to help determine corner case coverage
- Callbacks and hooks for use in directed test writing
- Full Initiator and target models
- Includes the following transactor interfaces for directed testing:
- 10 or 20 bit PHY interfaces
- 8 bit Encoder/Decoder interface
- 32 bit Dword Primitive interface
- Dword level transport interface
- Complete Frame transaction level interface
