UVM 1.2 Introduction and Code Examples

[getvictor]

The first video series Introducing What's New in UVM 1.2 is out. Also, here is the UVM 1.2 Class Reference

 

This video series covers the changes and new features introduced in UVM 1.2. It is intended for engineers who are already somewhat familiar with UVM.

The series comes with CODE EXAMPLES THAT WORK. That's right, real working code and not just a snippet on a slide.

 

The series has the following parts, covering different areas of UVM 1.2 changes. Recommend viewing in 720p quality or higher.

1. uvm_object must have constructor
   • code example
2. Config DB
   • uvm_enum_wrapper code example
   • set_config code example
3. Objections
   • objections code example
   • set_automatic_phase_objection code example
4. Sequences
   • sequence code example
5. uvm_integral_t type
   • uvm_integral_t code example
6. Reporting (major changes)
   • reporting code example
7. Phasing
   • phasing code example
8. Factory
   • extending factory code example
9. parametrized uvm_event
   • uvm_event code example
10. Transaction recording (coming soon)

 

I hope you find it useful. Let me know what other topics you'd like to see.

 

Note:

The videos are based on UVM 1.2 release candidate. I do not expect the features covered in the series to change for the final release. The above code examples will always work. If needed, they will be updated for the final UVM 1.2 release.

Would you like to us when we get it?

qinhailiang,

 

Are you asking when you can get UVM 1.2?

UVM is open source, so you can grab the latest code any time. Here is the UVM 1.2 RC3: http://sourceforge.net/p/uvm/code/ci/UVM_1_2_RELEASE_RC3_WITHHTMLDOC/tree/distrib/

 

Once Accellera puts its stamp of approval, you'll be able to download it from accellera.org

I would very strongy discorage using any UVM release that does not come Accellera except for testing.
