Specman Documentation Query

Sarvesh
Sarvesh over 15 years ago

Hello,

Is there a smaller concise version of the Specman Verification Advisor or rather a document which explains the strategy to be followed for developing a test-bench with "E" language and Specman ? I already have a copy of the Verification Advisor but it is a bit too big. Anything simple and perhaps smaller for beginners like me ??

    Hi Sarvesh,

      As steve pointed out, there is comprehensive workshop and reading material that is shipped in "Incisive Verification Kit", which is part of INCISIV release. The "Incisive Verification Kit" database would be under KITSOCV directory.

     To setup the Kit, do:

    % setenv SOCV_KIT_HOME <your Incisive verification Kit install area>

    % source $SOCV_KIT_HOME/env.csh

     Having done this you can now start browsing the Kit documentation using cadence documentation app cdnshelp. To start this do

     % start_kit

    On the main page, go to the link "How do I...?" -> "How do I build a constrained random testbench" -> "Simulation-Based Verification Using e"

     This will take you to the page containing resources and workshop examples taking you through the process of building an e based testbench

    We hope you find this useful

     rgds,

    Swami
