Hi all, After developing a virtual platform using SystemC with TLM, and also several peripherals (IP) model in high-level (LT), I realised that if in RTL design there is a UVM to say that the design is "okay". How about in high-level? Is there any methodology that we could adopt? If there is none, may I ask for your suggestion on how to verify our own SystemC TLM (LT) design? The SystemC Verification subforum seems to be obsolete, so I posted it here. Really appreciate any kind of advice and solution. Thank you. Regards, Arya.

Hello all, How would one go about leveraging UVM for ES level DUT verification? Most of the stuff from RTL still applies but how do we correctly use the driver and monitor if the DUT does not have signals, but has TLM ports/sockets. The UVM states that one agent should be used per interface, but the problem on the ESL is that there are no signals so how do we monitor TLM ports/sockets with the monitor, while the driver stimulates the DUT? How do we connect ports/exports to the driver, monitor and the DUT simultaneously? A solution without using analysis ports would be great. I've included an image for easier reference. I guess that on ES level the monitor and driver are redundant, but then the sequencer would have to send packets to a checker and the DUT simultaneously, which would require either two ports or an analysis port. Another option would be to keep everything the same as in the image and have two ports, one from the driver to the DUT, and one from the driver to the monitor and send packets simultaneously. Please state your thoughts on this.
