    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.

Hi,

I am trying implement RAL. I am getting following UVM_WARNING and my test is hanging.

UVM_WARNING /synopsys/vcs_mx_J-2014.12-sp3/etc/uvm/reg/uvm_reg_sequence.svh(137) @ 0: uvm_test_top.env.sagent.ssp_seqr@@s_seq [REG_XLATE_NO_SEQR] Executing RegModel translation sequence on sequencer uvm_test_top.env.sagent.ssp_seqr' does not have an upstream sequencer defined. Execution of register items available only via direct calls to 'do_rw_access'

MY code :

class spi_reg_wr_rd_ral extends my_test;

`uvm_component_utils(spi_reg_wr_rd_ral)

spi_reg_wr_rd_seq_ral s_seq;

extern function new (string name = "spi_reg_wr_rd_ral" , uvm_component parent);
extern function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
extern task run_phase(uvm_phase phase);

endclass : spi_reg_wr_rd_ral

function spi_reg_wr_rd_ral :: new (string name = "spi_reg_wr_rd_ral", uvm_component parent);
super.new(name, parent);
endfunction

function void spi_reg_wr_rd_ral :: build_phase (uvm_phase phase);
super.build_phase(phase);
`uvm_info("SPI_DUT_MSTR_TX_TEST","\n\t Entering spi_reg_wr_rd_ral build phase",UVM_LOW)
s_seq = spi_reg_wr_rd_seq_ral ::type_id::create ( .name("s_seq"), .contxt (get_full_name()));

In reply to Jayakirthi Reddy:

More data are required to help. Specifically how does your uvm_reg_sequence "spi_reg_wr_rd_seq_ral" look like?

  • Did you implement its body() method of the sequence where you write/read registers/memories?
  • Or you are using it a translation mid-way sequence? in this case you need to set the reg_seqr field to point to the upstream seqr where you pull the high abstraction level register transactions.

Hi ayehia,

Thanks for the reply

I solved the above mentioned issue. It was a mistake. My sequence was extended from uvm_reg_sequence and I was calling “super.body” in actual body method of sequence. I removed it. Now it works fine.

I am not aware of internal details of uvm_reg_sequence. If possible can you explain why body method is present in uvm_reg_sequence, if it is required, Why can’t I use super.body.

Thanks in Advance.
