How do I instantiate a UVM agent with a monitor, functional coverage and scoreboard in a legacy testbench

Rajat Mitra

Hello all,

 I have a traditional testbench that instantiates a Stimulus Generator and a DUT. Looks like this

//in module tb.v

module tb; 

driver i_driver(...);

dut i_dut(..); 

endmodule

The stimulus generation occurs within the driver.

I would like to add an UVM Environment with only a Monitor, Scoreboard and Functional Coverage to this testbench. I created a wrapper called "svid_packet_monitor" and instantiated that in the tb. 

module tb; 

driver i_driver(...);

dut i_dut(..);

svid_packet_mon_wrapper i_svid_packet_mon_wrapper();

endmodule 

I am new to the whole UVM thing and am not sure how the code inside the monitor wrapper should look like. I took a first stab at creating a package with the monitor and associated class items and  imported this inside the svid_packet_mon_wrapper. Then I created my_test inside the wrapper that extends uvm_test but I am not sure how to start this up. I am attaching the code for the monitor package and  the monitor wrapper( with questions inside the monitor_wrapper code ). Any help to put this together would be highly appreciated...

Best

  • Hello! I Just found this thread now. I'm having a problem that is very similar to this one.


    We already have a non-UVM SystemC verification environment to verify certain DUV, but this environment lacks in coverage. We want to use a UVM agent (with monitor and coverage collector) with this environment so we can track what is beeing sent to the DUV.

    The first step was to try adding the "-uvm" option on the command line, so then I can add my uvm units to the environment. The problem is that I get an elaboration error just for adding the "-uvm" argument to the irun call:

    tc_driver testc(
                      |
    ncelab: *E,CUVMUR (/.../my_tb.sv,148|15): instance 'my_tb.testc' of design unit 'tc_driver' is unresolved in 'worklib.viking_digital_top_tb:sv'


    What I'm I doing wrong? Is it possible to do this?
