About IP Verification and SoC Verification

There are actually many kinds of chip verification, and now the division of labor is also very fine, including ip verification and Soc verification, etc., such as dft and formal, which are not very popular now.If you don't talk about it, just say ip and soc.Many small companies are doing soc, because it is simple, just have the money to buy IP.Going is soc verification, individual small companies will develop some of their own ip, hang in soc, and ip verification will also be involved, but most small companies have early IPs.I bought it. Basically, the default IP is good, and no verification is required, or simple verification. Therefore, what small companies do is basically the work of Lianliankan, and each IPIntegrate on the bus, form the most basic soc chip, and then verify the connectivity.

A better small company will modify the IP to meet the needs and characteristics of its own company.When a small company does verification, it may not only do verification, but also do everything, and take into account a little design work (in fact, there is no design), as long as the chip can come out, as long as there is work, basically do it.If you are making SoC chips, you will indeed have a better understanding of the entire chip system. After all, your level is higher than IP verification, and you can look at the problem from a macro perspective.However, whether you can understand more details about IP depends on yourself.
