    The Verification Academy offers users multiple entry points to find the information they need. One of these entry points is through Topic collections. These topics are industry standards that all design and verification engineers should recognize. While we continue to add new topics, users are encourage to further refine collection information to meet their specific interests.

    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific course, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

task run_phase(uvm_phase phase);
   my_seq_item req;
 
   forever begin
      seq_item_port.get_next_item(req);
      begin
        my_vif.write_data <= req.data;
      end
      seq_item_port.item_done();
   end
endtask

my code is above, when run test, it drives sequences to driver via sequencer, but in run_phase of driver i get a error message, it is below.
**Fatal: (SIGSEV) Bad handle or reference.
Fatal error in Task my_agent_pkg/my_driver::run_phase at my_driver.sv Line 72

thank you for answers

It appears that you haven't properly passed the virtual interface handle my_vif to the driver.

Looking to line 72 might show you are assigning there a value to a signal of your virtual interface.

I did everything right way, but it does not work, if you have an env which works, could you share it to me?

In reply to nrllhclb:

Could you please show what you did. It seems it is not working, i.e. something is missing ....
Where do you pas the virtual interface to the config_db and where and how do you retrieve the virtual interface from the config_db.

it works, it is my fault.

env and agent in my vip was not connected in testbase
and
i did not call set/get method of uvm_config_db in testbase.
thanks all of you for answers.
