About type_id::create()

OVM

A couple of problems with your code:

  1. You forgot to import ovm_pkg
  2. The constructor should have no return type - void
  3. ‘this’ is not valid outside of a non-static method.

Here is the example that works for me

module top;
import ovm_pkg::*;
     class scoreboard extends ovm_component;

          // `ovm_component_utils(scoreboard)
          typedef ovm_component_registry #(scoreboard, "scoreboard") type_id;

          function new(input string name = "scoreboard",
                                        input ovm_component parent = null);
                  super.new(name, parent);
          endfunction

     endclass : scoreboard

     scoreboard scb;

     initial begin
          //scb = new();
          scb = scoreboard::type_id::create("scoreboard", null);
     end

endmodule
