• Regression Analysis
• Simulation Based Verification
• Bit True Verification of DSP hardware and software
• Constraint Based Verification
• Code Coverage
• Hardware/Software co-verification

Verification is today the principal component in the development cost of embedded systems and is often the reason for cost overruns and project delays. The EDA(Electronic Design Automation) industry has responded to this challenge by coming with a wide range of methodology components to improve productivity and improve quality of verification. 

The objective of this course is to teach students modern verification methodology for Embedded Systems. After taking this course the student will be: 
a) Familiar with fundamentals of embedded system verification,
b) Familiar with technologies and methodologies for embedded sytem verification,
c) Able to Develop Verification Plan, Verification Environment, Debug Embedded Systems and run regression tests for realistic embedded system examples. 

IL2217 Digital Design with HDL

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Passed examination (TEN1; 3hp)
Passed laboratory tasks (LAB1; 4,5hp)

The examination has two components. 3 points for Labs and 2 points for a written exam. Students will be awarded grades from A to F with labs and written having weightage in the proportion 3:2 respectively. Both the labs and written exam will have components that the students will have to successfully pass to get the pass grades. To get the higher grades, the labs and the exam will have components that will have successively higher challenge in terms of grasp of concepts, problem solving and engineering skills. Students are expected to finish their labs before written exams.
