A modern verification environment should have a Register Data Base (RDB). Verification environments should have a way to access all the hardware registers, set and reset them, and even randomize the whole database based on specified constraints. Today's SoC verifications set new verification challenges, so the interoperability of both hardware and software must be addressed. Managing memory as part of the RDB is the answer implemented by Wisair. Tasks such as software descriptor management (linked lists), memory management, debug, and tracking are all in the verification's scope, and rely intensively on the RDB. Furthermore, the implementation should give the user an intuitive way to make use of these operations, while maintaining the ability to reuse this structure in future projects.
