How to set_inst_override_by_type a uvm_reg

My understanding is that since the registers are created in build() function of the reg_block ( which is an object as well ) , one can’t pass this as 2nd arg. during creation of the registers.

the registers are created with the create() method, not the in the build() one. And I’m afraid you can’t pass the second argument, i.e. parent, because the registers are uvm_objects and not uvm_components.

@AGS91

Hence one must pass get_full_name() as 3rd argument to create ( during creation of registers ) and then provide the same hierarchy while registering the instance override via your test

that’s what I also gathered, despite the fact the object is still not part of any test hierarchy, it can still be overridden by passing the full “hierarchical” name, whatever the result of get_full_name() is.
