The VMM Golden Reference Guide offers answers to the questions most often asked during the practical application of VMM in a convenient and concise reference format. This edition gives a comprehensive and fully updated guide to VMM 1.2, including the new implicit phasing mechanisms and TLM-2-style communication. It also includes extensive information on the Register Abstraction Layer (RAL) VMM application.
The Golden Reference Guide is not intended to replace either the VMM for SystemVerilog or a proper training class, such as the VMM Adopter Class.
We have developed a tutorial specifically to complement the content of the VMM Golden Reference Guide. You can find the tutorial here.
This short video explains the mechanisms for observing activity in VMM and OVM test benches for the purposes of checking and coverage collection.
The Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog is a professional book co-authored by verification experts from ARM Ltd. and Synopsys, Inc. and published by Springer Science and Business Media (ISBN 0-387-25538-9).
It describes a methodology suitable for verifying complex designs using SystemVerilog. It contains a wide-ranging set of rules and recommendations for constructing testbenches and test suites, for the use of assertions in verification, for making use of legacy testbench code and for system-wide verification strategy.
vmm_log and vmm_notify for recording activity and inter-process communication.
vmm_env to describe the structure of a particular testbench.
