Enginerd
Enginerd over 12 years ago

Hey all,

 I am using IMC for my coverage .The problem is the tool automaticaly excludes some block coverage or expressions from the coverage.It shows "Exclusion Rule type : simulation time".Can someone explain what does Exclusion Rule typr mean and how do I remove it so that I can cover all blocks and expression in the Coverage.

 Thank you.

    "Simulation Time" exclusion refers to the situation where the simulator has observed that a coverage item is impossible to hit, generally due to tied off signals in the code. Some of these are figured out at elaboration time, others during the simulation itself.

    Have a look at the Incisive documentation for Constant Object Marking (set_com option) here: http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:DocumentViewer;src=pubs;q=/iccug/iccug12.1/usingcvg.html
