Lessons in developing and deploying OVM Compliant VIPUsing external VIP (Verification IP) brings several advantages including availability, independence in both checkers and coverage, robustness from use in several environments. However, the VIP must be developed so that it is easy for the user to incorporate the VIP into their environment. In this paper we look at practical lessons learned in both the development and deployment of VIP for use in complex OVM SoC verification environments. |

Breaking the Language Barriers: Using Coverage Driven Verification to Improve the Quality of IPThis paper presents two unique solutions for facilitating functional coverage in VHDL and SystemC. One approach is to use post-simulation Value Change Dump (VCD) files to calculate functional coverage. The other approach, which is applicable only to SystemC, proposes extending the SystemC Verification Library (SCV) to facilitate functional coverage calculation. |

Android, Linux and Real-Time Development for Embedded SystemsAndroid is an open source platform built by Google that includes an operating system, middleware and applications for the development of devices employing cellular communications. This session takes a look at the design of Android, how it works and how it may be deployed to accelerate the development of a connected device. Along with guidelines to getting started with Android, the Android SDK, its available tools and resources will be reviewed and consideration given to applications for Android beyond conventional mobile handsets such as medical devices, consumer electronics and military/aerospace systems. A brief review of how Android or Linux can coexist with an RTOS in multi-core designs will also be conducted. |

A Case for Custom Power Management ASICAs more functionality has been added to the devices, the power requirements have increased. As the power requirement grows, the capacity of the battery has to be increased, increasing the space occupied and its weight. This makes the battery one of the bulkiest component in the handhelds. |

Software Driven VerificationThis paper will discuss the changing landscape of verification caused by the increased importance of software for the success of chip design projects. With software determining an increasing amount of functionality, design teams are adopting virtual prototypes for early software development. Another use case for virtual prototypes is software driven verification, in which testbenches for verification of the hardware are executed in software running on transaction-level models of processors as part of virtual prototypes |
