Hi, everyone, I have a question that how to disable the scoreboard’s function dynamically from the running sequence? How to make sequence can “see” the scoreboard class instance, which I can control to set the disable variable of that scoreboard.
Any alternative ideas are also welcome.
Looking forward to Ur reply.

Even I am waiting for a reply on this.

Hi Zhao,
Dynamic allocation of the is not the good idea. Actually transaction class is the only dynamic entity in any environment.
Though you delete-allocate scoreboard run-time there are chances that you will miss the transactions after deletion of scoreboard instance.
As per my past experiences disabling the scoreboard comparison on-the-fly is good idea.
Hope this helps!

One possibility is to use a field in a configuration object referenced by the scoreboard and the sequence (in the sequence’s case via its sequencer). This means that the scoreboard needs to sample the enable/disable value.
The only problem that I can see is that you need to remember to re-enable the scoreboard at the end of the sequence otherwise you might get a false pass.
mperyer : you have answered one of my questions regarding the excution order of new tasked based phases in UVM early. I was wondering that except the methodology ( putting sb as a dynamic, or a static component), can i start seq in run_phase() of uvm_test, set_confg in the body of seq, and get_config in the main_phase in the sb ? since the order is run_phase()…pre_main(), main_phase()…
thanks
