  1. In my testbench I have two background sequences (call them S1 and S2) perform register access and a test that has multiple threads ( call them T1 to T7) also performing register access on the same shared bus. T1 through T7 need to lock the sequencer in order to perform multi-cycle transactions on the CPU bus. The scenario is S1 issues a write, resulting in arb_sequence_q.size == 1 and arb_sequence_q[0].request == SEQ_TYPE_REQ in the same simulation tick, T1 through T7 issue lock requests. arb_sequence_q.size() == 8 and arb_sequence_q[0] is still the S1 request S2 issues a read, resulting in arb_sequence_q.size() == 9, arb_sequence_q[8].request == SEQ_TYPE_REQ The CPU driver calls get() and the request at the head of arb_sequence_q (the write from S1) gets popped, resulting in arb_sequence_q.size() == 8 and arb_sequence_q[0:6].request = SEQ_TYPE_LOCK and arb_sequence_q[7].request == SEQ_TYPE_REQ (this is the request from S2). finish_item is called for the S1 request, resulting in grant_queued_locks getting called, pushing all LOCK requests onto the lock_list and leaving only S2 on the arb_sequence_q. arb_sequence_q.size() == 1, arb_sequence_q[0].request = SEQ_TYPE_REQ (this is the S2 request) lock_list.size() == 7 arb_completed.num() == 0 T1 calls write, enqueuing a SEQ_TYPE_REQ on the arb_sequence_q. The arb_sequence_q.size() == 2, arb_sequence_q[0] is S2's request and arb_sequence_q[1] is T1's request. [edit] Here's where the problem hits. Because the lock_list size() > 1, when the consumer (driver) calls get(), the sequencer will cycle through all its requests in its arb_sequence_q until it finds one that is ~is_blocked(). Unfortunately, that function cycles through all sequences in the lock_list regardless of whether the first item in the lock list corresponds to the request being processed. So since we have 7 locks in there, one for each thread, when the driver tries to get a new sequence, T1 will always be blocked by T2:T7. Similarly any request from T1:T7 will get locked out by the others. We've now deadlocked. I believe there is an issue here with the is_blocked() function which should have some form of priority encoding.
  2. Hello, I want to develop an unified verification environment for some bridges, so i started by fixing the structure that i want to make : 1) I will have one generic scoreboard, env_top, test, and tb_top 2) The agents of this bridges will be connected in the first time with FIFO, and FIFO will be connected to Scoreboard 3) For having the Coverage, can I have the coverage on the connection between FIFO and Scoreboard ? I want to know if this is right structure to follow ? else i will be gratful to receive other propositions. Thanks,
  3. Hello Kindly support with the following question: Considering a verification environment that imports 2 packages, pkg_A and pkg_B. Both packkages contain some common class definitions (i.e. same class name, class properties, etc.): pkg_A.sv pkg_B.sv class some_name; class some_name; `uvm_object_utils(some_name) `uvm_object_utils(some_name) ,,,, ... This makes the same class name to be registered to the factory twice, leading to the : UVM_WARNING @ 0: reporter [TPRGED] Type name some_name already registered with factory. No string-based lookup support for multiple types with the same type name. Consider that both pkg_A and pkg_B have numerous class with same name. How can this be fixed? Thank you
  4. 1. what are the preloaded methods use to load into memory, please mention preloaded methods? 2. When and How to Load C binary file or image into memory?3. After loaded C binary file or image, How execution happens backside from SV to C vice versa ?Please give me idea or link or document related to above?
  5. 1. At what scenario we can use out of order and outstanding transaction, please explain with example?2.. please give me example, How to develop reference model for out of order AXI Transactions?Could you please give me an idea or a link or document to clear up the above queries?
  6. Hello can anyone help me how I run my make file in python . I have windows and using VS code for python UVM when I open the code there are two errors .1 is make file is not found and when I write make command It gives me error .

    UVM-ML Open Architecture - version 1.12 Enabling Multi-Language and Multi-Framework Verification May, 2022 General Overview Universal Verification Methodology Multi-Language (UVM-ML) provides a modular solution for integrating verification components written in different languages into a unified and coordinated verification environment. It consists of an open source library that enables such integrations, and can be extended to support additional languages and methodologies. This release of the UVM-ML implementation is the result of collaboration work between Advance Micro Devices, Inc., and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. It expands on the mature technology provided by Cadence in Incisive and in previous UVM-ML postings on UVMWorld. It is provided as open source under the Apache 2.0 license. This distribution includes the following main elements Backplane implementation and API Example frameworks and adapters (three provided: UVM-SV, UVM-e, and UVM-SC) Several demos and high level examples (showing all frameworks interacting) and a few smaller feature examples (tests) Docs directory with a Reference manual, User Guide and reference HTML docs Information on all news and features can be found in the ml/docs/ directory. This UVM-ML package is intended to serve as a basis for the verification community to collaboratively expand and evolve the multi-language verification methodology. Please read the “Status, Use, and Disclaimers” section below for full details. Where to Find Information Where to start reading: point your web browser to ml/README.html The landing page provides links to installation directions, release notes, user guide, and more. For feedback or questions: send email to support_uvm_ml@cadence.com An easy installation and Setup video guide is available You can checkout the update of David I. Long form Doulos at DVCon 2016 in the US. It relates to UVM-ML (along with other updates). Blog series: Multi-Language Verification Environment—Getting First Run in Few Minutes Multi-Language Verification Environment (#2) – Passing Items on TLM Ports, Using UVM ML Multi-Language Verification Environment (#3) – Connecting UVM Scoreboard to a Multi-Language Environment Multi-Language Verification Environment (#4)—Multi-Language Hierarchy Debugging Multi-Language Verification Environments UVM-ML- Managers’ Freedom of Choice Platforms and Simulators This release of UVM-ML should run on any simulator supporting one or more of the standard languages: IEEE 1800 (SystemVerilog), IEEE 1647 (e), and IEEE 1666 (SystemC). It was tested on the Linux operating system with various combinations of simulators and languages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UVM-ML Open Architecture: Status, Use, and Disclaimers This section provides guidance and status regarding the use of the UVM Multi Language Open Architecture solution. The UVM-ML Open Architecture package is an open source solution, developed jointly by AMD and Cadence. We welcome feedback including suggestions for improvements. For any feedback or questions, please contact support_uvm_ml@cadence.com Use and Disclaimers: Licensing: This package is an open source library, protected under the Apache license (see legal clause at the bottom). Access: This package is available as early access to the verification community, and therefore changes to its content and behavior should be expected. Backward compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Changes are expected to take place when the verification community jointly refines the solution, to fit user requirements. We will aim, however, to provide help in adjusting to changes. Quality: this package is still under development. It is being tested and regressed with all active versions of Incisive and with the Accellera OSCI simulator before being released. The user needs to be aware of the simulator version on which the solution is tested. AMD tested the open source solution on other commercial simulators. Issues reported to AMD and Cadence will be addressed. Standardization: This package is not a standard. However, it is available as open source to all potential users. Support: Since this is not a product, it does not have a committed level of product support. We will provide help via the UVMWorld community on Accellera where the source code is posted. For Cadence customers, Cadence will provide direct support as needed. Note: the model described above is similar to how the very successful OVM and UVM-1.0ea (early version) were provided in the beginning. We believe you can gain significant value from access to this solution, and also be able to participate in developing it to ensure it addresses your needs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's new in each version For the full listing and more details please see the release-notes.txt file at the top of the release package. Please note that the items in red might require some changes on the user's side while upgrading to this version, please read these items carefully in the release notes. 1.12 The support for UVM-SV IEEE (2017) (with ML customizations) is now available. 1.11.1 Compatible with Xcelium 2021.03 (with CXX11 ABI) g++ 9.3 and CXX11 ABI (-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1) are now supported. install*.csh now accept --use-cxx11-abi / --no-use-cxx11-abi. This sets UVM_ML_ABI_CXXFLAGS behind the curtains, respectively to -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 and -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0. UVM-ML no longer interferes with uvm_objection::set_propagate_mode. When using with Xcelium, a proper warning should now be issued if both the command line "-uvmtop/-uvmtest" and uvm_ml_run_test parameters are provided. UVM-SC adapter code was reworked to avoid unnecessary thread spawning, thus improving performance and avoiding crashes in some cases 1.11 Support for calling uvm_ml_run_test() from SV program block (instead of a SV module) is now added. Note that this means that UVM Runtime phases are now blocking by default on procedural runs. Please refer to the documentation of uvm_ml_run_test() for more details. For OSCI users: "sc_simcontext::co_simulate" ML enabler is dropped, sc_start is used instead. This helps ensuring that the SystemC callbacks are separated for static vs quasi-static entities Enhanced error handling Enhanced examples- the options to run examples for multi steps with xrun and also bitness are now supported (see demo.sh -help ). 1.10.2 Supporting TCL 8.6 as of Xcelium 18.11 1.10.1 Fully qualified with IES version 15.2 and Xcelium 17.10-18.09 (the earlier version:1.10 has an issue with 18.09, which is fixed in this version). Questa 10.6b is supported 1.10: Fully qualified with IES version 15.2 and Xcelium 17.04-18.03. ASI (OSCI) 2.3.2 is supported. Support for OSCI 2.2 was dropped. Open source version can be accessed by pre-processor macros (SystemC only: UVM_ML_CURRENT_NUMERIC_VERSION and UVM_ML_NUMERIC_VERSION) or by a method (get_numeric_version) Enhancements and fixes in event propagation between frameworks Improved error handling Other fixes 1.9: Fully qualified with IES version 15.2 and Xcelium 17.04-17.10. In order to make it work with Xcelium 18.03, you can just comment the patch header in ml/adapters/uvm_e/sn_uvm_ml.e. Runtime phase synchronization between UVM-e to UVM-SV is now supported in UVM-ML OA (only with Xcelium 17.10). System C TLM2 convenience sockets (including passthrough_initiator/target_socket) are now supported by UVM-ML OA. 1.8 Fully qualified with IES version 15.2 and Xcelium 16.11-17.04. New debug command for tracing serialization in SV and e : uvm_ml trace_ser Moving from one Xcelium agile version to the other requires reinstallation of UVM-ML (running install_xclm.csh again) against the respective version) and no additional manual steps are needed 1.7: Fully qualified with IES version 15.2 and Xcelium 16.11-17.02. New debug command for observing matching types was added: "uvm_ml print_type_match". Support for multiple ML connections for SystemC TLM2 sockets. 1.6: Fully qualified with IES versions 14.2,15.1 and 15.2. UVM-SV 1.2 is now fully supported (please read RELEASE_NOTES.txt under ml directory for more details). When working with Incisive 15.2, the user can take some steps in order to skip compiling the e part of the adapter (this might be important for users that compile other e code on top of Specman, like VIP). The steps are documented in the UVM-ML OA user guide under: "Linking the Specman UVM-e Adapter From Incisive Version 15.2 On". OSCI 2.3.1 is now supported instead of OSCI 2.3, meaning that the supported OSCI versions are: 2.3.1 and 2.2. gcc 4.8.3 is now supported 1.5.1: Fully qualified with IES versions 14.1,14.2 and 15.1. Early adopters UVM-SV 1.2 support for IES (please read RELEASE_NOTES.txt under ml directory for more details). UVM-ML tcl commands are now available from Specman with all supported simulators. UVM-ML tcl commands are renamed (they all start with uvm_ml prefix, followed by a space and the command name, e.g uvm_ml print_tree). The old names are still supported. Pre-compiled UVM-SC parts for IES were eliminated. Examples are enhanced and extended. Updated the Backplane API version number. New debug commands in IES to print the UVM-ML tree, port connections, and port registrations. Brand-new documentation including User Guide, Reference Manual and more. Support for IES reset in UVM-ML environment. Support for sharing uvm_events and uvm_barriers between UVM-SV and UVM-SC. Support for +UVM_TESTNAME in all simulators and languages. Passing tlm_generic_payload transactions via analysis ports. Several ASI SystemC enhancements: Automated synchronization, ML-registering of SC TLM2 sockets. Reorganized examples to make them more useful. Enhanced and simplified installation and setup. 1.5: Fully qualified with IES versions 13.2, 14.1, and 14.2. "Phase Debug" feature, for setting breakpoints at the beginning or end of UVM-ML phases (see the Integrator User Guide for details). Currently this works only for IES. Added support for the generic UVM SV syntax, uvm_config_db#(T), so that it now works also for ML configuration Improved the way to run the demo examples and to learn how to run UVM-ML Reduced the amount of ML enabling modifications introduced into the local version of UVM-SV (1.1d), by enhancing the UVM-SV adapter implementation 1.4.4: The e macro uvm_ml_stub_unit now directly sets unit attributes hdl_path() and agent(), thus saving the user a need to add auxiliary string fields Improved the handling of UVM-ML bitness (once users select 32 or 64 bit mode, the library and all examples will run in that mode) Enhanced sequence layering capabilities Enhanced the test_env.csh script to provide more validity testing of the user's environment and to provide better suggestions how to fix issues irun_uvm_ml.*.f option files were reorganized (including a name change): IES irun invocation options were grouped into several option files, reflecting the usage context, and adding comments to clarify their meaning This release might require some changes on the user's code while upgrading to this version, see details in the release_notes.txt” 1.4.2: Fully qualified with IES version 14.1 Enables usage of Cadence UVM extensions on top of UVM-ML OA Support for UVM ML configuration tracing on the SV side, activated by the +UVM_CONFIG_DB_TRACE command-line option Added new backplane API functions enabling the time notification (wakeup) service and updated the backplane API version number Updated the sequence layering examples. The code is simplified and type conversion using mltypemap is demonstrated Eliminated the UVM SV warnings Mechanism to recognize whether OSCI was compiled with pthreads and compile the custom sc_simcontext.cpp accordingly 1.4.1: New examples showing basic TLM communication Default installation is 32bit instead of 64bit Setup and install scripts renamed UVM-SC has been updated with a standalone phase controller that can run through the common and UVM phases. In addition user defined schedules, which can be synchronized with the standard UVM phases, are supported as well. Enhanced UVM-SC to support run_test() in the SC-standalone mode (not collaborating with other frameworks) Methodology and examples for sequence layering across languages Enhancements in how unified hierarchy works 1.4: Support for uvm-1.1d (in place of uvm-1.1c) Addition of a portable UVM-SC adapter. Simulator independent and tested to run on several simulators Architected to be highly modular and extensible A new architecture providing a Backplane that connects Frameworks (where Frameworks can be of different languages or methodologies) Three examples of language frameworks are provided: UVM-SV, UVM-e, UVM-SC Enables creating a unified hierarchy of components of different frameworks 1.2.2: Multi-Language configuration Support of TLM1 and TLM2 communication between all the provided frameworks Enhanced synchronization of test phases and delegation of phasing control to a designated framework
  9. I am trying to write constrain for seq_item and sequence, I am describing it as follows, kindly please help me to write a code for this DUT has req interface , which has multiple fields and one of them is ID[7:0] field which is correct to variable in seq item class. DUT also has response interface ; response interface gets response for req and also as associated ID sent during request time. DUT can’t accept request if req with same ID value is already in progress inside DUT. I am looking to write logic in Seq item /sequence to put constraints to avoid generation of requests with same ID values when response is not received for previous ID value. Can I please have your help on this..
  10. I am trying to verify 8 bit RW registers and in some of the registers 4 bits are RESERVED lets say [3:0] . My bit bash sequence tries to write in these constant bit and flags me a mismatch error in the DUT and Mirrored Value. How do i stop my bit bash sequence from checking these RESERVED bits of a register. Thanks for your help
  11. Hi I was planning to move my TB flow from run_phase to main_phase and other runtime phases to take advantage of these phases. But I've received the attached snapshot indicating these phases would be removed in the future UVM versions. Is this change approved?
  12. Hi, I have a top level reg map set up as below. In my adapter I am trying to retrieve all the registers by address of incoming reg_item in bus2reg function to simulate burst condition. The get_reg_by_offset call returns null every time. I don't understand why the address is not found considering all the registers have unique offsets. Infact I retrieved the base address of the incoming reg_item to check if I can the register before incrementing for next offset, but it cannot find the register with base address. Any help is appreciated. Top register file: TOP_map = create_map(.name("TOP_map"), .base_addr('hFE00), .n_bytes(1),.endian(UVM_LITTLE_ENDIAN),.byte_addressing(1) ); default_map = CONTROL_TOP_map; TOP_map.add_submap(this.int_reg_blk.I2C_INT_map, .offset(8'h7C)); TOP_map.add_submap(this.scan_blk.SCAN_CTL_map, .offset(8'h84)); TOP_map.add_submap(this.ctrl_int_reg_blk.HOR_CTRL_map, .offset(8'h94)); TOP_map.I2C_INT_map.add_hdl_path("********", "RTL"); //didn't want to add proprietary code paths get_reg_by_offset call uvm_reg_item in_item = get_item(); base_addr = in_item.map.get_base_addr(); if(!(in_item.map.get_reg_by_offset(base_addr))) `uvm_error(get_type_name(), "Register not found in reg map") else registers[i] = in_item.map.get_reg_by_offset(base_addr+1);
  13. Hi all, I got a question regarding RAL. Assuming there are 2 registers A and B whose width are 8 bits and 16 bits respectively and the bus width is 8 as well. The two UVM registers are created by new(name, 8, UVM_NO_COVERAGE) and new(name, 16, UVM_NO_COVERAGE) for defining their own width. Register A and B locate at address 0 and 1-2 as the address is byte aligned. An user defined register map is created uvm_reg_map my_map = create_map("my_map", 0, 1, UVM_LITTLE_ENDIAN, 1); my_map.add_reg(reg_A, 0, "RW"); my_map.add_reg(reg_B, 1, "RW"); After reg_B.write(status, 16'habcd, .path(UVM_FRONTDOOR)), I would expect 2 transactions with 8 bits each appearing on the bus. However, there is only one access of h'cd to address 1. The other one never comes and it ends up throwing an error "There are 1 incomplete register transactions still pending completion" which is caused by a check on outstanding register accesses pending in predictor in check phase. I tried to find out how the original data value in uvm_reg_item gets split in reg2bus() function. It seems correct that the original data in uvm_reg_item is h'abcd and split to h'cd in uvm_reg_bus_op. But again the other part of data does not come. Also tried to search for answer from other places, for instance the same issue here https://verificationacademy.com/forums/uvm/how-handle-registers-are-wider-bus, it didn't help much unfortunately. If you have any clue about this, please leave your comments. Thanks.
  14. Why the one need to set rand variables in configuration classes ,,, my knowledge is that Virtual Sequencer is the only component whose responsibility to generate random variables, isn't it ?

  16. What is the difference between "uvm sequence library" and "virtual sequence" ? Are these same in usage or different ?
  17. To All Design and DV Engineers! Xilinx Vivado 2020.1 Supports UVM 1.2 and many features of Systemverliog. It supports the same in WebPack (Freeware) Version. There are some limitations on side of assertion cover properties but rest it compile complete SV and UVM including constraints and randomization. Learning UVM without hands-on is difficult. I believe this is opportunity for students, engineers and hobbyists to skill up without relying on paid or online tools as now you can run UVM on your system. For getting started, even though there are many UVM generators, I believe the starters need simple easy to use UVM generator tool. I found the ones available online like Easier UVM or UVMF quite difficult to use and even interact with. I developed a open-source tool "tbengy" to generate a UVM TB and Makefile that will readily get you started and will run on Vivado Simulator. You can read the instructions on https://github.com/prasadp4009/tbengy Hope it helps you all!
  18. Hello All, Please tell me the difference between transaction class and uvm_sequence_item class? Please provide me the clarity on the get_sequence_id method in uvm_sequence_item class Please provide me the clarity on the accept_tr , end_tr, start_tr in uvm_transaction class
  19. Hi, I know this will sound weird, but I will ask anyway :D I have recently completed my first ASIC design(Front end and functional verification). Although I used some SystemVerilog constructs like functions and tasks and some other stuff, but really I verified whole digital part without UVM. My question is: What are the advantages of UVM, and why UVM is needed in the first place, as it seems that tasks and functions can verify any design(it seems only, but I am not so much experienced). Will learned members shed some light on it? Thanks in advance and best wishes in fight against Corona
  20. I am new to UVM and SystemVerilog. For an effective debugging, I wanted to log my transactions coming from the DUT to the monitor into a text file. Since monitor converts into the transaction format, it becomes easy to log the transactions from monitor but I could not find a workaround to do this task. Can someone help with a solution to this problem? Currently, i am using the AHB protocol and I need to keep track of those AHB transactions coming from the DUT. I need to record the address, Read/Write, count, Data to be read/written and time stamps.

  22. Hi All, I am facing an issue: One of the register field is configured as : field_a.configure(this, 12, 17, "RO", 0, 12'h0, 1, 0, 1); field_a.set_compare(UVM_NO_CHECK); While doing a reset test, first I reset model then start test. But test fails with : UVM_ERROR -- value read from DUT (0x0000000080001e00) does not match mirrored value (0x00000000XxxXfe00) Basically the fields declared as RO and UVM_NO_CHECK goes X ? Any idea what I am missing or doing wrong ? Thanks.
  23. Hi, How to handle memories wide 8 bits in my register model when register map is built with 32 bits width? Thank you Kristina
  24. Hi there IPXACT needs to capture array of registers properly in a design. Currently there is only one tag ''spirit:dim" to represent an array of registers. This does not enable us to capture an array of register effectively. Consider the following cases: 1. An array of registers can be one dimensional with each element offset by offset address 0x10. 2. An Array of multidimensional registers something like this: register_1[0][0] -> 0x0 register_1[0][1] -> 0x4 register_1[1][0] -> 0x10 register_1[1][1] -> 0x14 ... likewise Is there any way to capture just the address relationship to an array instance within IP-XACT XML tags? (Without using vendorExtensions tag?) We have not been able to capture the above said information inside IPXACT XML.(using only IP-XACT tags) Requesting thoughts regarding the same. Best regards Balasubramanian G
  25. Hello, I was wondering if are there any resources (papers, blogs, posts, best practices) about methodologies to implement UVM RAL for "large" designs (>100K registers and 50K rams)? I tried to do some research online but most of the results never cover "large" designs. I have experience using RAL and doing some customisation to make it work in a particular environment (callbacks, maps, defining specialised registers, sequences) but most of them were "little" (1K regs and 100 rams) I'm interested on any information about aspects such as: Reg model re-usability and portability at sub-system and system level environments Performance: How heavy is the register model, since having this much registers may have a huge performance penalty over simulations Dynamic reconfiguration (I know in 1.2 once your model is locked not much can be done) RAM modelling in RAL (since it the uvm_mem is different from uvm_reg) Register Model Partitioning at block level Register Model limitations on real projects usage Implementation of different sized registers and non uniform mapping General RAL limitations Any material or hints on these topics is really appreciated Apologies for the broad question Thanks -R
