UVM Based Verification Of Modern Microprocessors

[Krishna Kumar]

Hi All,

I am a beginner in the field of hardware verification (1.5 yrs experience only). I have done couple of projects in UVM related to IPs such as UART and GPON. Now, i want to take up the next challenging (due to it's huge state space) self project - UVM based verification of a microprocessor. But i am unaware as to how should i begin? I searched the Web and there is so much material that i am totally confused. Can anybody share what should be my approach? How should i begin? Which microprocessor i should chose? From where can i get the DUT processor code? If anyone has implemented such project, could you please share the details.

Thanks

Krishna
