The OSVVM VHDL Verification Utility Library

The OSVVM VHDL verification utility library implements advanced verification capabilities that are simple to use and feel like built-in language features. These include:

• Transaction-Level Modeling (TbUtilPkg, ResolutionPkg)
• Constrained Random test generation (RandomPkg)
• Functional Coverage with hooks for UCIS coverage database integration (CoveragePkg)
• Intelligent Coverage Random test generation (CoveragePkg)
• Utilities for testbench process synchronization generation (TbUtilPkg)
• Utilities for clock and reset generation (TbUtilPkg)
• Transcript files (TranscriptPkg)
• Error logging and reporting - Alerts and Affirmations (AlertLogPkg)
• Message filtering - Logs (AlertLogPkg)
• Scoreboards and FIFOs (data structures for verification) (ScoreboardGenericPkg)
• Memory models (MemoryPkg)
• Test Reporting - Test Suite and Test Case in HTML
• Continuous Integration (CI/CD) Support - with JUnit XML reports

Learning OSVVM

You can find an overview of OSVVM at osvvm.github.io. Alternately you can find our pdf documentation at OSVVM Documentation Repository.

You can also learn OSVVM by taking the class, Advanced VHDL Verification and Testbenches - OSVVM™ BootCamp

Download OSVVM Libraries

OSVVM is available as either a git repository OsvvmLibraries or a zip file from osvvm.org Downloads Page.

On GitHub, all OSVVM libraries are a submodule of the repository OsvvmLibraries. Download all OSVVM libraries using git clone with the “–recursive” flag:

  $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/osvvm/OsvvmLibraries

Alternately to get just the OSVVM verification utility library use:
$ git clone https://github.com/OSVVM/OSVVM

Run The Demos

A great way to get oriented with OSVVM is to run the demos. For directions on running the demos, see OSVVM Scripts.

Participating and Project Organization

The OSVVM project welcomes your participation with either issue reports or pull requests.

You can find the project Authors here and Contributors here.

The OSVVM Family of libraries

The OSVVM family of libraries includes the VHDL Verification Utility library (this one) as well as verification components and scripting. These are all kept as submodules of OsvvmLibraries.
