UVM 2017-1.0 Available

New reference implementation is aligned with IEEE 1800.2

The Accellera Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) Working Group has released the UVM 2017-1.0 reference implementation. UVM 2017-1.0 is aligned with the IEEE 1800.2 standard and the enhancements that make it more powerful and easier to use. The working group has addressed some inconsistencies between the UVM Register Layer and other standards. It received a lot of feedback on the 0.9 release, and they were able to fix the bugs that were reported. UVM 2017-1.0 also includes full documentation of the API that is provided in addition to 1800.2-2017.

The UVM 2017-1.0 reference implementation can be downloaded for free from Accellera. The IEEE 1800.2-2017 standard is available free of charge from the IEEE Get program, courtesy of Accellera.
