Introduction As technologies advance, we see increasingly complex SoCs in the market, SoCs that have various wireless modules, and processors that use new bus architectures to communicate with them. They can also have various interfaces like I2C, PCM, I2S, AHB, etc. Yet, these SoC components will share a single clock control unit. This module generates…
Scoreboard The basic function of the scoreboard is to check the correctness of the output data of the design under test. The scoreboard you create should derive from uvm_scoreboard; however, there is no current functionality of the uvm_scoreboard. You may be wondering why it’s important to mention if it doesn’t have any functionality at the…
AGENTS As mentioned, an agent is a container that instantiates the driver, monitor, and sequencer. Agents can be either active or passive. In active mode, all three components are created, while in passive mode only the monitor is created. Since we have already built the necessary components, creating the agent is simply a matter of…
