Benefits of using these standards together
 IP-XACT can be a single source specification for IP metadata
- Specification is standardized and leads to :
- Less ambiguity
- Higher quality because of SCR checks
- Higher levels of automation through generators
- High levels of interoperability
 UVM provides advanced verification capabilities.
- High level of HW/SW verification capability using the built-in UVM test
sequences
- Randomization, phasing, coverage, scoreboard
 If we can leverage the two standard s we can get significant levels of
verification automation and productivity
- Does IP-XACT link well with UVM?
- Focus : Let’s investigate HW/SW interface verification
