Updated Nov 27, 2025
Learning Path
Learn Verilog RTL basics
Understand digital logic design and FSMs
Study SystemVerilog verification constructs
Practice testbench creation and constrained randomization
Advance to coverage-driven and UVM-based verification
Skill Improvement Plan
Week 1: Verilog RTL and modules
Week 2: SystemVerilog data types and interfaces
Week 3: Assertions and covergroups
