Assertion Methodologies for Verilog Design

Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...

Reusing Verilog IP Cores in SystemC Environment by V2SC

SystemC 2.1 supports all hardware concepts introduced by HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL. V2SC proposes a methodology for automatic conversion of Verilog 2001 constructs into SystemC 2.1 language. This ...
