Introduction to specman e-language

Specman e verification language is an HVL (Hardware Verification Language) Language and an IEEE standard language used by most of the verification engineers for Block/SOC Verification. It is one of most advanced language in terms of methodology and technology for building the Verification environment.
Specman e-language has a unique concept called Aspect-oriented Programming, that enables easier reuse and provide "extendibility" features for derivative environments and follows the eRM Methodology.
According to the eRM (e Reusable Methodology) the Verification environment is designed to have a Stimulus Generator, Driver, BFM (Bus Functional Module) and to intergrate all these elements it has an Agent which could be Transmitter (Tx) or Receiver (RX).
The Top Verification Environment categories into Active and Passive Elements. The Active Elements consists of Stimulus Generator, Driver and BFM whereas the Passive Elements Consists of Monitors (e.g Checkers, Signal Map and Functional Coverage). These Elements can be Enabled / Disabled by built in switch depending on the requirement. The Functional Coverage is one of the important element in the Specman e-verification which gives the verification engineer to cover all the important functionality in terms of coverage elements.
