On Configuration

The document discusses configuration in UVM and provides examples of: 1. Defining an environment configuration class and automatically configuring agents using uvm_config_db. 2. The different methods of uvm_config_db - set, get, exists, and wait_modified - and their syntax. 3. An example flow of how configuration is set from the top level to agents using uvm_config_db.

CONFIGURATION

Presented by
Deepika p v v
• Definition(easily change the entire tb arch)

• Use(reusability)

• All the methods of the uvm_config_db class


are the static. So they must be called with
scope resolution operator
Comparision
module top; module top;
bit clk; import test_pkg::*;
bridge_interface if0(clk); import uvm_pkg::*;
ahb_apb_top DUT ( ); bit clk;
Test test_h; bridge_interface if0(clk);
ahb_apb_top DUT ( );
initial initial
begin begin
test_h = new(in0,in0,in0,in0); uvm_config_db #(virtual
test_h.build_and_run(); bridge_interface )::
#500 ; set(null,"*","vif",if0);
$finish; run_test();
end #500 ;
$finish;
end
• Null (or) uvm_root::get();

• Null: it will call set method of uvm_root

• Because of module we are writing the


argument as null

• Class – this
Uvm_config_db methods
1. Set

2. Get

3.Exists

4.Wait_modified
Syntax for set method
• The full signature of the set method is void uvm_config_db
#( type T = int )::set( uvm_component cntxt , string
inst_name , string field_name , T value );
• T is the type of the element being configured - usually a
virtual interface or a configuration object.
• cntxt and inst_name together form a scope that is used to
locate the resource within the database. The scope is formed
by appending the instance name to the full hierarchical
name of the context, i.e.
• Field_name supplies the name of the resource
• value is the thing which is actually going to be put into the
database
Syntax for get method
Syntax for exists method
• Static function bit exists (uvm_component cntxt, string
inst_name,string field_name, bit spell_check);

• Check if a value for field_name is available in inst_name, using


component cntxt as the starting search point.

• The spell_chk arg can be set to 1 to turn spell checking on if it


is expected that the field should exist in the database. The
function returns 1 if a config parameter exists and 0 if it
doesn’t exist.
Synatx for wait_modified method
• Static task wait_modified(uvm_component
cntxt, string inst_name,string field_name);

• Wait for a configuration setting to be set for


file name in cntxt and inst_name .

• The task blocks until a new configuration


setting is applied that effects the specific field
Flow of setting and getting configuration
1. TOP
uvm_config_db #(virtual bridge_interface ):: set(null,"*","vif",if0);
2. TEST(a)creating env cfg b) get the vif c) set env cfg)
function void base_test::build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
tb_cfg=env_config::type_id::create("tb_cfg",this);
if(has_magent)
begin
h_cfg=ahb_config::type_id::create("ahb_config",this);
if(!uvm_config_db #(virtual bridge_interface)::get(this,"","vif",h_cfg.vif))
`uvm_fatal(get_full_name,"cannot get interface")
h_cfg.is_active=UVM_ACTIVE;
tb_cfg.h_cfg = h_cfg;
end
// fr rd agent also //
uvm_config_db #(env_config) :: set(this,"*","env_config",tb_cfg);
endfunction
3. ENV
function void env::build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
if(!uvm_config_db#(env_config)::get(this,"","env_config",tb_cfg))
`uvm_fatal(get_full_name,"not getting from tb")
if(tb_cfg.has_magent)

h_agt_toph=ahb_agt_top::type_id::create("h_agt_toph",this);
end
// fr rd agent also //
Endfunction

4. Agent top(its not mandatory)


function void ahb_agt_top::build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase( phase);
if(!uvm_config_db #(ahb_config):: get(this,"","ahb_config",h_cfg))
`uvm_fatal(get_full_name,"not getting rom the ahb_config")
h_agt= ahb_agent::type_id::create("h_agt",this);
endfunction
5. Agent
function void ahb_agent:: build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
if(!uvm_config_db #(ahb_config)::get(this,"","ahb_config",h_cfg))
`uvm_fatal(get_full_name,"not getting from ahb_agent")
Endfunction

6. DRIVER
function void ahb_driver::build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
if(!uvm_config_db #(ahb_config):: get(this,"","ahb_config",h_cfg))
`uvm_fatal(get_full_name,"not getting from ahb_agent")
endfunction
7. Monitor
function void ahb_monitor::build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
if(!uvm_config_db #(ahb_config):: get(this,"","ahb_config",h_cfg))
`uvm_fatal(get_full_name,"not getting from ahb_agent")
Endfunction
class base_test extends uvm_test;
`uvm_component_utils(base_test)
if(!uvm_config_db #(virtual
env_config tb_cfg; bridge_interface)::get(this,"","vif",h_
ahb_config h_cfg; cfg.vif))
apb_config p_cfg;

get interface")
int has_virtual_sequencer; h_cfg.is_active=UVM_ACTIVE;
int has_magent=1; tb_cfg.h_cfg = h_cfg;
int has_sagent=1; end
function void tb_cfg.has_magent = has_magent;
base_test::build_phase(uvm_phase tb_cfg.has_sagent =
phase); has_sagent;
super.build_phase(phase); uvm_config_db #(env_config) ::

hb_config",this);
`
Uvm_config_db_options
1. Turn_on_tracing : turn tracing on for the configuration
database

syntax:
Static function void turn_on_tracing();

a) This causes all reads and writes to the database to display


information about the accesses.

b) Tracing is off by default.

c) This method is implicitly called by


the +UVM_CONFIG_DB_TRACE.
2. turn_off_tracing: turn tracing off for the configuration
database.
Syntax:
Static function void turn_off_tracing();

3. is_tracing : Returns 1 if the tracing facility is on and 0 if it is off.

Syntax:
Static function bit is_tracing();
Environment config
class env_config extends uvm_object;

`uvm_object_utils(env_config)

int has_scoreboard=1;
int has_magent;
int has_sagent;
int has_virtual_sequencer=1;

ahb_config h_cfg;
apb_config p_cfg;

extern function new(string name ="env_config");

endclass

function env_config::new(string name="env_config");


super.new(name);
endfunction
Automatic configuration
• In order to have the resource automatically retrieved two things
must happen.
a) First, that resource has to be registered with the factory using
the field automation macros.
b) Second, super.build_phase(phase) must be called in the
build_phase() function.

Example:
class pipe_agent extends uvm_agent;

protected int my_param = 10;


pipe_sequencer sequencer;
pipe_driver driver;
pipe_monitor monitor;
`
• `uvm_component_utils_begin(pipe_agent)
`uvm_field_int(my_param, UVM_ALL_ON)
`uvm_component_utils_end
function new(string name, uvm_component parent);
super.new(name, parent);
endfunction
function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
if(is_active == UVM_ACTIVE)
begin
sequencer = pipe_sequencer::type_id::create("sequencer",this);
driver = pipe_driver::type_id::create("driver", this);
end
• monitor = pipe_monitor::type_id::create("monitor", this);
`uvm_info(get_full_name( ), "Build stage complete.",
UVM_LOW)
endfunction: build_phase
// connect phase
Enclass

Test:
Uvm_config_db #(int) ::set(this,”env.agent”,”my_param”,888);
