PSL endpoints and ended()

archive
archive over 18 years ago

I need to write a property that states if conditon A occurs then SeqA or SeqB must have occured.

The PSL built-in ended() is not supported in IFV 5.7-s5.  So, I can't do either of these:
always {A} |-> {ended(SeqA) | ended(SeqB)}
 
never (A & ~(ended(SeqA) | ended(SeqB))

Also, I get this error when calling SeqA and SeqB endpoints.
endpoint SeqA ...
endpoint SeqB ...

always {A} |-> {SeqA | SeqB}
                   |
"Endpoints and sequences are illegal as verilog operands."

Does anyone have another idea how this can be done?

Thanks,

Ross

    Thanks,

    This works:
    //psl assert always( {a} |-> {{SeqA} | {SeqB}} )@(posedge clk);

    This still gets the error:
    //psl assert never( {a} & ~({SeqA} | {SeqB}) )@(posedge clk);
                                    |
    ncvlog: *E,PSVERO (test.v,9|32): Endpoints and sequences are illegal as verilog operands.  Check sequence composition syntax.

    I guess I'll go with the always...
