uRM task-level interface?

archive

Hi, I am reading Cadence "EZ-Start Guide: SV interface" article. And I found Cadence recommend using task-level interface to do Transaction Layer Modeling (but the article is not very clear). My question is 1. Can this method provide transaction layer blocking/non-blocking put/get/peek? Is there any other reference article can provide more information? 2. When will SV uRM open to our users? I have heard from a Cadence AE that uRM will be open at the end of 2006, but it failed :( Best regards, Davy

  • Hi Davy.

    The SV uRM is available from the Cadence download site via InstallScape. You need to get product IPCM60.
    For the time being the downloaded tarball is encrypted so you need to get a decryption licence from your local AE - this is a zero-cost licence and is only required to install the IPCM library.

    As for your interface question, I believe you could implement blocking or non-blocking methods - the non-blocking version would of course need some kind of buffer for transactions. If you look at the uRM examples in the IPCM library I think that should help.

    Regards,
    Steve.

    Hi Davy,

    As Steve mentioned in his reply, SV URM is available for download on Cadence's downloads site, and has in fact been there for a while now.

    As for your first question - yes, the examples in SV URM show a simple blocking interface implemented using tasks and a sempahore. Once you have the release installed, please look at one of the BFM interface implementations (e.g. $IPCM_HOME/urm_lib/vr_xbus_uvc/sv_module/vr_xbus_master_interface.sv in the IPCM6.0 release).

    Best regards,

         Zeev.

  • Hi Steve and Zeev,

    Thanks a lot for the information! I have sent a email to my local AE to ask for the licence.

    And I will dive into IPCM when it is done.

    Best regards,
    Davy
