BFM stands for Bus Functional Model. It models the bus activity at cycle accurate level and is often the lower level building block of a good, solid layered testbench. See our VMM article in:

**broken link removed**

In our recent book on VMM Adoption we showed this with a FIFO design and a Serial-to-parallel converter design.

I have to build a verilog BFM......What points i need to note before developing BFM.....:?:

Things like:

What are possible deviations from a standard/good bus cycle (such as aborts, retries, error etc.)

This would help us identify callbacks and coverage points. If you want to understand the whole domain through email that will be very hard, I recommend either you look at the books/papers or take a quick training. I offer this as a 1-day course, see:

Comprehensive Functional Verification (CFV)

If you are interested in this course, send an email with your contact details to cvc.training@gmail.com
