Design and Verification of Serial Peripheral Interface using OVM

The main objective of the work is to design SPI Master Core using Verilog and verify the code using Open Verification Methodology. Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is an interface that facilitates the transfer of synchronous serial data, which is engineer’s favorite for its convenience and saving system resource. SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a synchronous serial data link that operates in full duplex mode. It communicates in master/slave mode where the master device initiates the data frame. Multiple slave devices are allowed with individual slave select line .Serial Peripheral Interface of symmetrical structure can be synthesized using Xilinx 12.3, and then can be simulated using Questasim 10.0b. It is a popular interface used for connecting peripherals to each other and to microprocessors. KeywordsSPI interface; serial; Verilog HDL; Open Verification Methodology.
