Popis: The advanced VLIW architecture of the Equator MAP1000 processor has many features that present significant verification challenges. We describe a functional verification methodology to address this complexity. In particular, we present an efficient method to generate directed assembly tests and a novel technique using the processor itself to control self-tests and check the results at speed using native instructions only. We also describe the use of emulation in both pre-silicon and post-silicon verification stages.
