howto? triggering event off 1 bit of uint simple_port

archive

I have a simple port of uint(bits:NUM_BITS).  I want to trigger
an event based on a single bit of this port, e.g.

event foo is rise( my_port$[0:0] )@sim;

Is this possible?

Here is a complete example:
#### top.v ####
module top();
   
    reg [32:0] my_signal;
   
    initial begin
        $display("TOP.V: BEGIN test");
        my_signal =  0;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal = -1;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal =  0;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal = -1;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal =  0;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal = -1;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal =  0;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        my_signal = -1;
        $displayb("TOP.V: my_signal = '%d'",my_signal);
        #10
        $display("TOP.V: END test");
    end
   
endmodule

#### test.e ####
<'

unit foo_u {
    my_port : simple_port of uint(bits:32) is instance;
    keep bind(my_port,external);
    keep my_port.hdl_path() == "~/top/my_signal";
   
    event bit0_posedge_e is rise( my_port$[0:0] )@sim;
   
    on bit0_posedge_e {
        out( "Event 'bit0_posedge_e' seen");
    };
   
};
 
extend sys {
    foo : foo_u is instance;
    run() is also{
        out("hello!!");
    };
};


'>
#### makefile ####

.PHONY: all
all: specrun

specman.v: test.e
    @echo "## Creating specman.v"
    specman -c  "load test.e; write stubs -vcs"

vcs_specman: top.v specman.v
    sn_compile.sh -sim vcs                  \
        -sim_flags "top.v specman.v -debug -l runsim.log "

.PHONY: specrun
specrun: specman.v test.e top.v vcs_specman
    @echo ""
    specrun -p "load test.e" ./vcs_specman -ucli

clean:
    -rm -rf vcs_specman specman.v csrc .vcsmx_rebuild specman.elog runsim.log \
        vcs_specman.daidir ag_command.log jspecview.log simv *log test.esv test \
        ucli.key vcs.key vcs_test vcs_test.daidir
   

When I run, I get:
## Creating specman.v
specman -c  "load test.e; write stubs -vcs"

Is this possible?  How would I do this?

  • Hi,

    Bit slicing like that is not allowed. Simple ports however have an option to constrain the range, constraining declared_range(), similar to hdl_path() to something like:

    keep my_port_p.declared_range()=="[0:0]";

    That might not be a good solution for you, so you might need to add a second simple_port just sampling bit 0. An event_port could also be an option, but event_ports don't have the declared_range() attribute.
