SmartDV’s SR-IOV Verification IP is designed to verify virtualization capabilities in high-performance I/O devices, enabling efficient sharing of a single PCIe device across multiple virtual machines or operating system instances. Fully compliant with the PCI-SIG SR-IOV specification, this VIP enables accurate validation of Physical Functions (PFs), Virtual Functions (VFs), configuration space accesses, and address translation mechanisms.

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, providing flexible integration into simulation environments.

With configurable Root Complex and Endpoint agents, support for dynamic VF instantiation, built-in protocol checkers, MSI/MSI-X interrupt handling, and error injection, SmartDV’s SR-IOV VIP empowers verification teams to validate robust, standards-compliant virtualization features in PCIe-based systems used in cloud computing, data centers, and virtualized environments.
