SmartDV’s SWD Verification IP is designed to verify low-pin-count debug interfaces used in ARM®-based microcontrollers and SoCs. Fully compliant with the ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol, this VIP enables accurate validation of two-wire debug communication, including memory access, register read/write, and system control operations through the Debug Access Port (DAP).

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 broad deployment flexibility.

With configurable host and target agents, built-in support for AP/DP transactions, SWD-to-JTAG switching, error injection, and protocol checkers, SmartDV’s SWD VIP empowers verification teams to confidently validate debug and trace access mechanisms in embedded, IoT, and low-power SoC designs.
