In　this　paper,　UVM　(Universal　Verification　Methodology)　is　adopted　to　build　the　SHA-256　IP　verification　platform.　The　generic　code　of　the　verification　platform　is　automatically　generated　by　the　Perl　script.　That　is　the　semi-automatic　UVM　platform.　It　forms　the　verification　structure　of　the　module　level　and　the　top　level.　Based　on　the　platform,　the　remaining　of　the　core　code　is　added　to　the　testbench.　Then　according　to　the　verification　scheme,　a　large　number　of　test　cases　produce　the　stimulus　to　the　DUT,　which　make　the　functional　coverage　achieve　100%,　the　code　coverage　and　the　waveform　meet　the　requirements.　The　results　show　the　SHA-256　IP　design　successfully　and　the　semi-automatic　UVM　platform　is　usable.　©　2017　IEEE.
