UVMC Memory management in systemc

UVM

Hi,

I have existing SystemC design I am trying to drive from SV side of my uvmc testbench. My problem is such that on SC (design) side of connections it is expected the transactions (tlm_generic_payload) include handle to memory manager (nb_transport_fw, trans.acquire() called on arrival). However, uvmc does not provide such by default.

I have been trying to redefine converter for generic payload, so I could provide the needed memory manager from converter level (do_unpack). However, everything seems to be static by nature and I have not been able to find a spot where I could add the memory management object in a consistent manner.

How have you planned the case where design expects memory manager handle from incoming transactions?

Thanks.

This is a good question. You will see TODO comments in the code alluding
to the fact that adding the TLM GP MM will be a good thing to do.

This is increasingly becoming a requirement from other sources as well.

A ticket has already been filed for this feature and we will look at
getting in in one of the upcoming releases.
