Abstract: An encapsulation block for a digital signal processing (DSP) block. The encapsulation block includes DSP block having an input terminal, an output terminal, and an input clock. The encapsulation block also includes pacing control network operatively connected with the input terminal, the output terminal, and the input clock of the DSP block. The input terminal of the DSP block is configured to receive a samples-in data stream inputted at a predefined clock period defined by the input clock. The output terminal of the DSP block is configured to receive a samples-out data stream outputted at a predefined paced parameter. The pacing control network is configured to control data flow at the samples-in data stream and the samples-out data stream independently of the DSP block.

Abstract: A system and method of verifying hardware that includes software configured to control its operation, the method comprising providing an abstracted version of hardware to be tested; verifying the functionality of the hardware; writing test bench software using physical-layer routines; drafting hybrid verification intellectual property modules, wherein the hybrid verification intellectual property modules comprise both synthesizable and non-synthesizable code and are configured to stimulate the abstracted hardware and to test software anticipated to be used in connection therewith; and creating network-level routines that can be passed to physical-layer routines as part of a hardware verification process.
