HW DIGITAL DESIGN VERIFICATION - IMX9 VERIFICATION ENVIRONMENT AND PERFORMANCE AND INTERCONNECTION Functional and performance verification have an important role in IoT and Embedded system world. The former covers the base functional correctness and the latter the respect of constraint limits. A good verification process ensures that a product will work based on its original design and an internal check is performed to make sure it follows its initial design specification. Verification environment has a key role in production process as it provides a former analysis of the design through diversified tests, giving a detailed report about the effects on the design, highlighting flaws and potential problems: it allows scientists to see if their product performs as intended and also any unforeseen side effects that it may have.
