DisplayPort
Overview
One sort of verification IP used in semiconductor design and electrical design automation (EDA) is DisplayPort Verification IP, which is used to confirm the functionality of DisplayPort interfaces. The DisplayPort interface of an FPGA, SoC, or ASIC design is tested and validated with it.
