cocotb is a COroutine based COsimulation TestBench environment for verifying VHDL/Verilog RTL using Python. cocotb encourages the same philosophy of design re-use and randomized testing as UVM, however is implemented in Python rather than SystemVerilog. With cocotb, VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog are normally only used for the design itself, not the testbench.
In this webinar we will introduce cocotb and show how to get started with a small design using Aldec’s Riviera-PRO. We will also show a more complex example, giving you a taste how cocotb could add value — and joy! — to your next verification project.
