Transaction tracing in simvision

Joep Boonstra

 Hi,

I'm using OVM transaction level tracing in SV. I was wondering if I can have simvision render different types of transactions with different colors e.g. based on a transaction attribute. I know how to do it at signal level using mnemonics but I haven't succeeded doing this at transaction level. Anyone?

  • Hi Joep.

    I'm not aware of any colouring options for the transactions, but I can tell you another neat facility that might do even better for you.

    If you look in the signal name area of the waveform window you should see a small plus sign just left of the transaction stream's name.
    By right clicking this plus sign, you get a pop-up menu that gives you choices about what to show when the plus sign is clicked to expand the transaction stream. For example if your transactions have an attribute "direction" which takes the value "Read" or "Write", then you can select "direction" in the pop-up menu. Next you would left-click the plus sign to expand the stream, and you would see two new transaction streams - one for "Read" and one for "Write".

    There are other more advanced things you can do such as filtering the transactions, but this subject deserves more detail than I can put in a quick forum post. Try having a look in the SimVision User Guide, in the chapter "Viewing Transactions".
