What phase to use for end of simulation check

[ytkim1]

Hi,

I am doing bunch checking in the check_phase for end of simulation checking.

That's working find but I also need check status/counter register (using peek) but since check_phase is virtual function and register.peek() is task, I couldn't read register from check_phase.

Is anyone have idea when and where can I do the check?

Thanks,

check_phase(), extract_phase() are functions and thus cannot execute any transactions on the DUT. Use the shutdown_phase() for that purpose.

Thanks for info.

Is this mean do I need change run_phase to use main_phase?

[janick]

Yes and no. The stuff that needs to run for the entire duration of the test (e.g. scoreboard, VIPs, transactors) remains in run_phase. But the main body of your test stimulus should be moved to main_phase(): that's what it was designed for.

Thank you very much for good information.
