Abstract
Open core protocol (OCP) establishes itself as the only non-proprietary, openly licensed, core-centric protocol that is used to support ldquoplug-and-playrdquo SOC (system-on-chip) design practices. Designer can reuse OCP-compliance IP cores based on system integration and verification approach in multiple designs without reworking, reducing the development time and cutting down overall design costs. This paper addresses the development of a reusable verification framework of OCP. Assertion-based verification was chosen in order to enforce the flow. An OCP System Verilog monitor which was developed in house is used to verify the OCP SystemC TL1 (cycle-accurate level) design. The monitor can also be reused for OCP designs described at different abstraction level and thus dramatically reduce the time needed for OCP functional verification. With proper configuration of this monitor along with our System Verilog Assertion suite, we have found a potential bug in the OCP TL1 implementation which awaits confirmation of the OCP-IP group.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
