Overview

SmartDV’s eCPRI Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the Enhanced Common Public Radio Interface, a packet-based fronthaul protocol enabling flexible and efficient radio data transmission between Radio Equipment Controllers and Radio Equipment in 5G and Open RAN deployments. Fully compliant with eCPRI Specification V2.0, it supports complete verification of eCPRI transmitter and receiver functionality across Ethernet and UDP/IP transport, covering all thirteen eCPRI message types, 10G, 25G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet speeds, Control and Management data transfer, delay management, and full IEEE 1588-2008 and IEEE 1588-2019 precision timing support.

SmartDV’s eCPRI VIP supports UVM, SystemVerilog, and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly into diverse verification environments. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA simulators, providing flexibility across simulation platforms.

With comprehensive error injection and detection at both Ethernet and eCPRI protocol layers, glitch injection, bus-accurate timing, 8B/10B line coding support, scrambler error insertion, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s eCPRI VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate 5G fronthaul interface designs for O-RAN, C-RAN, massive MIMO, and next-generation radio access network applications.
