Instance override of a parametrized type

[jmackenz]

I'm attempting to do an instance override on a parametrized type in UVM, but I can't seem to set a correct path to the instance I want to override. The code below

factory.set_inst_override_by_type(typical_item#(1, 1)::get_type(), typical_item_1#(1, 1)::get_type(), override_path); 

works if

override_path == "*" 

which is matching everything and thus doing in essence a type override - not what I want. If I try to be more specific (even entering something like uvm_test_top) no instances are overridden.

 

Is there a way to find out the correct instance path to some sequence so I can use it in my override call?

hi,

 

how do you create your item? ::create*()? new()? inside the uvm_do's ?

I use ::create to create my items. The issue was that I was trying to use a path to a sequence, when sequences don't really have paths. More info here:
