Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the integrated circuit (IC) design technical field, specifically, relate to a kind of SOC (SystemOn Trip, SOC (system on a chip)) chip system grade verification system and method.
Background technology
Along with microelectric technique develops to Nanoelectronic Technology, the integrated level of chip is also more and more higher, and the design of SOC chip and application are more and more general, but corresponding, and its checking and test job also become increasingly complex.
In the dedicated IC chip design, i.e. in the epoch of ASIC (Application Specific IntegratedCircuit), designing a chips needs several big key steps of completion code design, functional verification and placement-and-routing.The textual description of Code Design stage with chip functions is converted into certain circuit structure, Qualify Phase determines by means such as emulation whether the circuit structure of realizing exists careless omission, and placement-and-routing's stage then converts this circuit structure to can be for the silicon slice pattern of producing.
Owing to need all realize out to each function detail of realization product in the mode of transistor combination in the Code Design stage.Contain up to ten million transistorized designs for one, its complexity is well imagined.And these up to ten million transistors just can't be done any change more in a single day through after the production run, in case wherein wrong, might directly cause whole chips to work.So the functional verification work of design phase is extremely important.Facts have proved of industry member, the time that a chips spends in functional verification is that three times of time in Code Design stage also want many.
The focus that the SoC designing institute is paid close attention to no longer has been that the design of certain new function realizes, but how to go to assess, checking and integrated a plurality of design module that has existed.The method for designing of SoC is the brand-new flow process that is assembled into the basis with function.In order to finish systemic-function, the SoC design must rely on existing IP (Intellectual Property) module.But present many IP are at specific application at the beginning of design, thereby seldom consider and will use with external circuit collocation.If SoC designer wishes to utilize these IP, just must drop into strength revises them, also will consider the validation problem of IP module simultaneously.
The SOC chip generally is made up of unit such as one or more processor cores, bus, storer and IP modules.Wherein the IP module generally has processor bus interface, and its RTL (register transfer level) checking is divided into checking of IP module level and system-level checking.The verification method of checking of IP module level and ASIC (special IC) chip is similar, can utilize hardware description language or high level verification language to set up verification platform, realize the checking of IP functions of modules, whole verification environment can be regarded the debugging of pure hardware as, because the IP module has cpu bus interface.
In the checking and test job of chip, can make up the RTL checking and the test environment of entire chip by the inner addressable register of access chip.SOC chip and common asic chip structurally have very big-difference.The cpu bus interface of asic chip is the pin of chip, can realize visit to the chip internal addressable register by cpu i/f, thereby realizes the configuration to the chip functions and the pattern of use.The SOC chip is embedded one or more processor cores, processor core is realized the addressable register visit to chip internal, thereby realize configuration to the chip functions and the pattern of use, but the pin of chip does not generally have cpu bus interface, therefore can not be directly by the visit of pin realization to the chip internal addressable register.As can be seen, because the access mode difference of inner addressable register, the verification method of SOC chip and asic chip has very big difference.
In SoC chip system level verification, nearly all to use microprocessor and special software and hardware.Be closely-related between the software and hardware, but before system realized, the interaction between the software and hardware normally was difficult to accurately measure, some design mistakes can obviously not show yet.In order to address this problem, must adopt hardware and software co-verification technology.
Generally set up the system-level checking that the software and hardware cooperating simulation verification platform is realized the SOC chip by the software and hardware cooperating simulation instrument, software platform and hardware platform in this verification platform, have been comprised, software platform realizes mainly that to the configuration of system processor with to the visit of chip internal addressable register software platform can be realized by software programming language (C language) programming.Hardware platform is realized monitoring, data feedback and the checking interpretation of result to the chip pin signal, and hardware platform can be realized by programmings such as hardware description language or high level verification language.By the specific pin of chip, can realize the mutual control of the configuration of software platform and hardware platform, process, finally realize the system-level checking and the test of chip.
As can be seen, in the system-level proof procedure of SOC chip, specific pin by chip realizes that the mutual control of software platform and hardware platform is absolutely necessary, in concrete chip, these special chip pins are some common interfaces, for example UART (universal asynchronous receiver) interface, special bus interface etc.
In the SOC chip, the major function of UART is the UART receiving end that sends to peripheral hardware of data serial that parallel transmission in storer or the processor is transmitted, or the data of coming from the UART serial received of peripheral hardware are converted to parallel data.Can utilize the UART serial ports to carry out the control of SOC chip system grade software verification platform and Hardware Verification Platform, but UART interface transfer rate is lower, hardware platform is resolved UART data message more complicated, just need a plurality of UART serial ports if hardware platform carries out comparatively complicated control, but integrated a plurality of UART interfaces are uneconomic in the SOC chip.In some SOC chips, in order to test, control needs such as external chip, processor bus interface is designed to the pin of chip, therefore utilize processor bus interface also can carry out the control of software verification platform and hardware platform.Because processor interface has comprised data bus interface, address bus interface and clock signal etc., in the debugging and control procedure of software verification platform and Hardware Verification Platform, the bus interface utilization factor is lower.As can be seen, UART serial ports and bus interface etc. can be carried out the simple control of software verification platform and Hardware Verification Platform, but carry out and control neatly that certain limitation is then arranged complicated.
