Received a very nice endorsement for SVUnit today from a new user doing FGPA development and running Modelsim…
Our company focuses on FPGAs. SVUnit is a GAME CHANGER for FPGAs. FPGAs are different from ASICs, in that bugs can be fixed while the product is in the field. SVUnit is a lot less cumbersome than traditional verification. This allows R&D to push a design into test sooner with similar confidence.
SVUnit advantages:
- quick to setup
- does not require expensive licenses
- easy to test individual modules and therefore pin point bugs earlier in development, making the bugs less expensive
(Here’s something cool. I am using the altera starter edition of modelsim under linux. There is a lot of validation people can do without needing a license.)
Nice to hear comments like this. SVUnit is supposed to be clean and user friendly so it’s nice to add another happy user. If you’re ready for a game changing experience, the SVUnit Getting Started page is a good place to start.

PS: Out-of-the-box, SVUnit now supports Modelsim in addition to VCS, Incisive and Questa.
