Overview

SmartDV’s eSPI Verification IP is designed to verify low-pin-count serial communication interfaces in embedded systems through simulation. Fully compliant with the eSPI (Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface) specification, it enables accurate validation of host-slave interactions, virtual wire signaling, and out-of-band communication.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with methodologies such as UVM, OVM, and VMM. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, ensuring flexibility across verification environments.

With configurable master and slave agents, protocol checkers, scoreboards, and detailed coverage metrics, SmartDV’s eSPI VIP accelerates testbench development and ensures protocol compliance. It helps verification teams validate eSPI functionality in applications spanning embedded controllers, client platforms, and industrial systems.
