– tell about yourself? in 100 words
I am Sreenivas. I was born and brought up in Anantapur. I am a post
graduate with specialisation in VLSI Design. I have been working since last 14
years. My last job was with UST Global. My hobbies are reading books. On
professional side, I like to pursue my career in VLSI design and verification.
Tell about your technical expertise?
What projects you have worked on?
Projects, skillset, languages
Freshers in verification domain:
What is the other person wants to listen? What is he interested in?
I have completed 6 months training in Functional
verification. During this period, I have been trained on Verilog, SV, and UVM.
I also have expertise on/in standard protocols based on AMBA, Ethernet, Memory
based protocols. I have worked on projects based on these protocols, which
includes VIP Development, complete functional verification for Memory
controller. I also have expertise on Questasim tool. I am also good with Linux
OS and PERL scripting.
Physical Design:
I have done a 6 months training in Physical Design.
During this period, I have been trained on complete PnR flow, which includes Synthesis
to Physical verification. I have worked on multiple projects at 28nm using
Synopsys flow. One of the projects is multi voltage domain project, and another
is a chip level implementation project. Project flow was implemented using
Design compiler, ICC2, PT, StarRC and IC validator. During this, I have gained
exposure to input files, import design, floorplan, power planning, placement,
SDF generation, ECO closure and Physical verification. I am also good with TCL
based flow implementation.

Hi Ramesh,
Subject line: Debug
support with processor subsystem testcases
Introduction:
————–
I am Sreenivas, working on Snapdragon M885 SOC verification, based out
of Bangalore. I work on processor sub system top level verification.
Content of the mail
During last regression, some of the processor subsystem testcases have
failed. I have debugged the failing tests, I see a possible issue with prefetch
block. Below is the debug analysis.
RTL Tag name:
Transaction is not coming at proper address on
Processor subsystem at master interface.
Traced this transaction to decode block, figured
that issue is with transaction coming from prefetch block to decode block. At
this interface, address is corrupted.
Debugged further in to prefetch block, see a
possible issue with the way instruction is fetched.
This behaviour is violating
design specification.
Below is the waveform with issue highlighted.
Paste the waveform image here
Paste the RTL code snipping here(where the logic is wrong)
How to view the waveform:
Waveform path
DO file path
How to conclude the mail
Can you please confirm if above is a known issue? Please let me know
required updates to fix this issue.
Regards,
Sreenivas

festival.
Content(if you are project/block which is critical)
I am working on Processor subsystem verification. I have completed 80%
of testcases. All of them except 2 tests are passing. I will try to close these
tests before I go on vacation. I will be creating a document with quick notes
on my testcases, so that other team members can support in my absence.
