This 1-day hands-on workshop provides a rapid introduction to verification with cocotb, designed to enable you to start writing your own structured RTL test benches.

Topics will include:

• Principles of cocotb co-simulation
• Structure of a cocotb test
• Reading and writing HDL elements
• Applying stimulus and checking results
• Generating clocks
• Timing in combinational and synchronous designs
• Writing a cocotb test makefile
• Log messages
• Manipulating scalars and vectors
• Handling signed numbers
• Basics of Transaction Level Modelling in cocotb
• Generating constrained random stimulus in native Python
• Overview of other Python packages useful for verification

All attendees of this training will also receive:

• PDF copy of the course manual in Doulos’ renowned format (slides with supporting notes, searchable and indexed)
• PDF copy of the exercise instructions workbook
• A 50% discount voucher for any Doulos Self-Paced Training Class.

This workshop is suitable for ASIC and FPGA Design and Verification engineers who wish to get a rapid introduction to verification with cocotb and start writing structural RTL test benches. Attendees should have a basic understanding of Python.
