This presentation from DVCON 2021 discusses verification methodologies for functional safety in automotive AI processors, developed collaboratively by Veriest Solutions and CEVA. It explains how traditional functional verification approaches must be adapted to meet ISO 26262 requirements for automotive applications. The presentation covers error correction schemes (like Hamming codes and CRCs), detailed verification strategies for memory ECC, and structured procedures for safety verification. Key topics include error injection techniques, safety UVC architecture, and specialized testing for Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) capabilities. The methodology was successfully applied to CEVA’s SensPro sensor hub DSP and NeuPro AI processor architectures, demonstrating comprehensive verification coverage with rigorous documentation practices essential for automotive safety certification.
