Hardware Verification with C++: A Practitioners Handbook

Written by two verification engineers, Hardware Verification with C++: A Practitioners Handbook is a four-part tour of how to perform object-oriented techniques. This handbook goes beyond hype and theoretical discussions to show fully implemented examples, all provided as open-source code on the companion CD.

Part I makes the case for C++, and shows a standard verification system using object-oriented programming (OOP). Part II presents two open-source C++ libraries that enable efficient verification with C++ -- Teal, a C++ to Verilog interface, and Truss, a standard verification framework. Part III focuses on OOP with examples from real verification projects.

Part IV puts it all together showing complete block-level and system-level verification systems. Both a learning and a reference tool, Hardware Verification with C++: A Practitioners Handbook gives you everything you need to do hardware verification with C++ apart from a simulatorall provided as open-source on the companion CD.
