----The Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) announced its sponsorship of a Technical
Advisory Group (TAG) regarding a recently proposed standard at the
International Organization of Standardization (ISO) for exhibition
terminology. CEA represents more
than 2,000 corporate members involved in the design, development,
manufacturing, distribution and integration of audio , video, mobile
electronics, wireless and landline communications, information
technology, home networking, multimedia and accessory products, as
well as related services that are sold through consumer channels. "By using a single
well-defined interface, OVL bridges the gaps among different types of
verification processes, making more advanced verification tools and
techniques available for non-expert users.

"We are in favor of an international standard on exhibition

More about the OVL Standard

The OVL standard for Verilog and SystemVerilog assertions addresses the
needs of designers , integrators and verification engineers to check for
expected and unexpected behavior with a single vendor-independent interface
for design validation using simulation, semiformal and formal verification
techniques.

The work of the OVL-VSVA committee includes a Library Reference Manual and
assertion checkers written for Verilog and SystemVerilog that cover many
common properties that engineers use during assertion-based and
coverage-driven verification.

The service is free, but requires a library card to access.

The OVL standard results in better quality HDL (hardware description
