RivieraWaves, a startup specializing in wireless connectivity semiconductor intellectual property (IP), faced a significant challenge in producing highly differentiated low-power Bluetooth 4.1 IP within aggressive timeframes. The company had been using Open Verification Methodology (OVM) for its Bluetooth 4.0 designs. However, due to a competitive need to increase automation and produce low-power products in shorter time-to-market windows, RivieraWaves decided to migrate to Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) for its next-generation Bluetooth 4.1 IP designs. The company needed a verification environment and solution that would keep pace with this migration and enable faster IP verification and integration into Bluetooth devices than previously possible. The challenge also included finding bugs faster and sooner, effectively managing new, complex IP challenges, and meeting robustness goals while achieving new levels of efficiency.

In support of our vision and member companies, the Bluetooth SIG expands Bluetooth technology by fostering member collaboration to create new and improved specifications, drives global Bluetooth Interoperability through a world class product qualification program, and grows the Bluetooth brand by increasing the awareness, understanding, and adoption of Bluetooth technology.
