This paper describes SoCBase-VL, which is a C/C++ based integrated framework for SoC functional verification. It has a layered architecture which provides easier test-bench description, automatic verification of bus interfaces and seamless testbench migration. This framework does not require verification engineers to learn other verification languages as long as they have sufficient knowledge on both C/C++ and SystemC. We have confirmed its usefulness by applying it to a TFT-LCD controller verification.
