IP verification platform proposed here is a technology infrastructure facilitating pre-purchase-phase IP verification in the STARC recommended IP reuse flow. It has been developed to remove obstacles and to promote IP reuse. In this proposal, we also recommend Virtual Component Interface(VCI) and Open Core Protocol(OCP) as IP interconnect protocols to help SoC developers integrate these IPs independently of specific SoC bus specifications.

Already developed and experimentally proven IP verification platforms
