I tried to use these instruction in questasim
Generate UVM based RAL model.
Use “ralgen” utility to generate RAL model using RALF specification of system is created. (see below command-line)
Hi,
ralgen is a Synopsys specific tool. Perhaps you might get a version for VMM @ www.vmmcentral.org for general use. Within Questa there are similar utilities, look for Certe product EDA Software, Hardware & Tools | Siemens Software Or latest Questa may have this built-in too. Ask Mentor.
If you are looking at a 3rd party application that integrates nicely to MS-Word/XL, look at www.agnisys.com
We use Questasim 10.1 for design verification. If we manually write the register classes, we can compile and run the tests using Questa. But for bigger dsigns, I require to generate the reg classes automatically.
Can you please tell me the Mentor’ tool that can generate the UVM RAL model (register classes and package) automatically by taking the xml file of registers?
As you mentioned, Certe from Mentor doesn’t look like a dedicated tool for RAL generation, but Agnisys is an interesting tool and I can also see and understand the way of automated generation of RAL
QuestaSim 10.2 includes a tool called “Register Assistant UVM” that allows you to enter register specs in a spreadsheet. I have not had a chance to try it out yet, since it requires an additional license feature (which we don’t yet have).
