I build a uvm testbench using RAL to understand the concept of the abstraction layer, but when i run the simulation i have a UVM_FATAL at my sequencer.
Quote:
UVM_FATAL @ 10: uvm_test_top.m_env.m_agent.m_seqr [m_seqr] send_request failed to cast sequence item
I try to understand the error and i think is a failing cast operation between the sequence_item and the uvm_reg_bus_op, but i can't fix the error. Some of the code is below and the link to Github containing all code is UVM-APB_RAL
class reg2apb_adapter extends uvm_reg_adapter;

super.new (name);
endfunction
virtual function uvm_sequence_item reg2bus (const ref uvm_reg_bus_op rw);
apb_tr tr = apb_tr::type_id::create ("tr");
tr.write = (rw.kind == UVM_WRITE) ? 1: 0;
tr.addr = rw.addr;
tr.data = rw.data;
`uvm_info ("adapter", $sformatf ("reg2bus addr=0x%0h data=0x%0h kind=%s", tr.addr, tr.data, rw.kind.name), UVM_DEBUG)
return tr;
endfunction
virtual function void bus2reg (uvm_sequence_item bus_item, ref uvm_reg_bus_op rw);
apb_tr tr;
if (! $cast (tr, bus_item)) begin
`uvm_fatal ("reg2apb_adapter", "Failed to cast bus_item to tr")
end
rw.kind = tr.write ? UVM_WRITE : UVM_READ;
rw.addr = tr.addr;
rw.data = tr.data;
