摘　　要：本文提出和实现了一种基于DPI-C(直接编程接口C)程序的可扩展SOC验证环境。该平台针对基于AMBA总线的SOC(片上系统)芯片的功能验证需求,采用内嵌DPI-C程序和UVM验证技术,通过调用DPI-C程序控制VIP(验证知识产权核)行为,实现了VIP和DPI-C程序的交互通信。该平台已应用于电力通信芯片的验证中,验证过程中激励开发简单且调试方便,实现100%功能覆盖率,极大提高验证效率。This paper introduces an extensible verification platform which based on the directed programming interface C program. To face the function verification goal of system on chip based on AMBA bus, this paper adopted embedded DPI-C and UVM verification technology by controlling verification intellectual property behavior. By this method we can communicate between VIP and DPI-C program. This proposed platform has been used in the electric power communication chip successfully by easily programming and debugging, the function coverage can be reached at 100%, greatly enhance the efficiency of verification.
