| UVM Register Package Overview | |
| This page provides a brief overview of the contents of this kit. | |
| Register Base Classes | The Register Bases classes consist of the unparameterized base class uvm_register_base and the parameterized base class uvm_registger, which extends uvm_register_base. |
| Register File | The Register file is used to describe a collection of registers within a device. |
| Address Map | An Address map is used to model two or more devices in a system. |
| Automated Tests | Automated tests help test connectivity and certain simple functionality without writing tests. |
| Custom Tests | Specific test situations can be created that are either directed tests testing certain capabilities of specific registers, or that are additional automated tests not provided by the base library. |
| Run the examples | The examples demonstrate possible use models for the register package. |
The Register Bases classes consist of the unparameterized base class uvm_register_base and the parameterized base class uvm_registger, which extends uvm_register_base.
The Register file is used to describe a collection of registers within a device. Each register is added to the register file at the address or addresses that it occupies.
An Address map is used to model two or more devices in a system. It contains all the registers and appropriate addresses. An address can be created by adding register files or address maps.
Automated tests help test connectivity and certain simple functionality without writing tests.
Specific test situations can be created that are either directed tests testing certain capabilities of specific registers, or that are additional automated tests not provided by the base library.
The examples demonstrate possible use models for the register package. There are many ways to use the package not illustrated by the examples, but the examples provide a basis to extend and use directly.
In order to run the examples, you must have installed a compatable UVM version. The latest UVM release is available at www.uvmworld.org.
The examples have been tested on Questa 6.4, 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.5Beta1 on Linux, Cygwin and Windows with UVM 2.0 and UVM 2.0.1.:
% setenv UVM_HOME <my_install_area>/uvm-2.0.1
% cd examples/registers/00_stopwatch % make
% cd examples/registers/01_bus_transactions % make
