Try FSM Coverage A quick look into FSM Coverage The verification process is long and time consuming, especially when you are not sure what you are looking for. There are a lots of directions you can go looking for bugs but without a guide, without a plan you will most likely be going in circles....

In the previous blog, I included... Tags:ASIC,Co-simulation,Coverage,Debugging,Documentation,FPGA,OS-VVM,UVM,Verification Like(3) Comments (0) Read more Code Coverage in HDL Editor? Now That’s a Nice Feature. For a long time I have been a fan of code coverage tools that are embedded into the simulators themselves, and which give you the ability to switch easily between the code and the coverage results. It is particularly helpful to have a way...
