In this paper, we present a design and experiment of PCI Express core verification model. The model targeting Endpoint core based on Verilog HDL is designed by newly-emerging SystemC, which is a new C++ class library based system design approach. In the verification model, we designed and implemented a SystemC host system model which acted as Root Complex and device driver dedicated to the PCI Express Endpoint RTL core. The verification process is scheduled by scenarios which are implemented in host model. We show that the model is useful especially for verifying the RTL model which has dependencies on system software.

In this paper, a design and experiment of PCI Express Core verification Model is described. The model targeting Endpoint core verification is designed by using newly-emerging SystemC which is a system design language based on a new C++ class library and simulation engine. In the verification model, we developed a SystemC Host System model which act as a Root Complex and Device Driver dedicated to the PCI Express Endpoint RTL Core. The test of Host System Model is guided by scenarios which implements and acts point of Device Driver and Root Complex and shows the result of simulation. Also, We present the full structure of verification model and Host model.

In this paper, a verification method and model for a PCI-Express device are described. PCI-Express technology is one of new I/O interconnection technologies which is intended to replace conventional PCI based technology, and is introduced by PCI-SIG in 2002. For a fast prototyping, a verification suite which includes a behavioral model and stimuli is needed before actual design is finished. And also it should be simple in structure and accurate enough to verify the design. In this paper, an Early Verification Suite (EVS) which complies with PCI-Express protocol is developed and tested.
