PCI Express VC

eVCs are reusable Verification Components that can be used to establish ready-made verification environment. Each eVC is capable of acting as full verification environment or as a plug-in to an existing environment.

eInfochips' eVCs are designed for verification of today's SoC designs. With their object-oriented architecture, eInfochips' eVCs are building blocks for establishing complex and comprehensive verification environment in very short time.

Description

The PCI Express eVC can be used for verification of a device that supports the PCI Express standard. The eVC is compliant to PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.0, 22nd July 2002. It expedites creation of a more efficient testbench for the Device Under Test (DUT) and can operate with both Verilog and VHDL environments. It can perform with all HDL simulators that are supported by Specman Elite™.
