Chips @ Dojo: Open Source Design Verification - brought to you by AsFigo & Yuri

Cracking the UVM-Verilator Code: 50+ IPs, AI Guardrails, and the Open-Source North Star

The industry says UVM and Verilator don’t mix. We’re here to show you how we broke that rule. Join AsFigo at Hacker Dojo to see how we built a license-free, production-ready verification stack that scales.

What we’re covering:

• The UVM Breakthrough: How we ported 50+ production UVCs and codified 35+ non-obvious failure modes into AI guardrails.
• The Python Alternative: Andrew Bond (Axelera AI) dives into AVL, showing how Python-based verification is ready for production.
• The Cloud-Native Compile: A look at AWS Economics—the real-world price-to-performance mapping for scaling Verilator in the cloud.
• The SV Core: Yuri breaks down advanced SystemVerilog techniques and the bridge to open-source synthesis with Yosys.

Whether you are looking to slash licensing costs or build a deterministic AI-driven verification flow, come see the roadmap for the next generation of EDA.
