Overview Two primary methods are used for
FPGA design validation Simulation Board-level testing
Simulation stage Behavioral Functional Timing
5
Types of Simulation Files The two most common types of
simulation stimulus file are Waveform Testbench
The main factors that affect testbanch implementation include The simulator used, the completeness of the
testcases, the execution speed, partitioning ans code reuse
7
Common Simulation Mistakes and Tips Mistakes
Use of waveform stimulus Using testbenches is inadequate test
case coverage Tips
Potential differences between pre-and post-synthesis simulation results
if/else, switch/case Design grouping and ordering
