Course Description

The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is the IEEE1800.1 class-based verification library and reuse methodology for SystemVerilog. The UVM class library provides the basic building blocks for creating verification data and components. The UVM methodology enables engineers to quickly develop powerful, reusable, and scalable object-oriented verification environments.

This course teaches you UVM in exactly the same way as you would use the methodology in a real-life project. First, we create data stimulus items; then, we use the building blocks of the UVM class library to create a configurable, reusable UVM Verification Component (UVC) to drive the stimulus into a DUT. Then you learn how to combine multiple UVCs into a flexible, powerful verification environment with scoreboards and register models. The goal is to allow you to walk away from this course and immediately be effective in working on UVM projects.

This course covers UVM1.2 but can also be used for UVM1.1d. The differences between the two versions are minor, and the new UVM1.2 content is clearly labeled in the course.

This version of the class teaches a methodology compatible with hardware acceleration. See the video "Future-Proof Your UVM Environments with Acceleration Optimization" for more information.

For instructor-led classes, this course can be combined with Essential SystemVerilog for UVM.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the features and capabilities of the UVM class library for SystemVerilog
  • Create, configure and customize reusable, scalable, and robust UVM Verification Components (UVCs)
  • Combine multiple UVCs into a complete verification environment
  • Integrate scoreboards, multichannel sequencers and Register Models
