SpaceWire VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s SpaceWire Verification IP is designed to verify high-reliability serial communication links used in spacecraft, satellites, and onboard space systems. Fully compliant with the ECSS-E-ST-50-12C standard defined by ESA, this VIP enables accurate validation of packet-based data transfer, time distribution, flow control, and error detection across point-to-point and networked configurations.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with UVM, OVM, and VMM methodologies. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, offering flexible integration into aerospace-grade simulation environments.

With configurable node and router agents, support for wormhole routing, time-codes, link initialization, built-in protocol checkers, and error injection, SmartDV’s SpaceWire VIP helps verification teams ensure robust, deterministic communication for mission-critical spaceborne applications.
