UVM Sequence Item: Presented By: Dileep C P, Nishant S, Sharmila E K

This document discusses UVM sequence items. It introduces UVM utility macros and field macros that provide implementations for common methods like copy and compare. A sequence item contains the data fields needed to generate stimulus and can have random fields with constraints. Key sequence item methods include create, print, copy, clone, compare, and pack/unpack. Pack/unpack methods bitwise concatenate/extract property values and can work with bits, bytes, or integers.

Introduction
 The sequence-item - extending the uvm_sequence_item
 uvm_sequence_item inherits from the uvm_object via the
uvm_transaction class.
 uvm_sequence_item is of an object type.
 The uvm_object has a number of virtual methods that are
used to implement common data object functions (copy,
clone, compare, print, transaction, and recording)
 uvm_Object has macros defined in it, mainly Utility Macros
and Field Macros.
UVM Utility Macros

 The utility macros provide implementations of the create method (needed for
cloning) and the get_type_name method (needed for debugging), etc.
 objects with no field macros,
`uvm_object_utils(TYPE)
 objects with field macros,

`uvm_object_utils_begin(TYPE)
    `uvm_field_*(FIELD,FLAG)
`uvm_object_utils_end
UVM Field Macros

 The `uvm_field_* macros are invoked inside of the `uvm_*_utils_begin and


`uvm_*_utils_end, for the implementations of the methods: copy, compare,
pack, unpack, record, print, and etc.
 Each `uvm_field_* macro is named to correspond to a particular data type:
integrals, strings, objects, queues, etc., and each has at least two arguments:
FIELD and FLAG.

`uvm_field_*(FIELD,FLAG);
Sequence item
 It consist of data fields required for generating the stimulus.
 In order to generate the stimulus, the sequence items are randomized in
sequences.
 Data properties in sequence items should generally be declared as rand and
can have constraints defined.
 Data fields consists,
• Control Information – a type of transfer, transfer size, etc
• Payload Information – data content of the transfer
• Configuration Information – mode of operation, error behavior, etc
• Analysis Information – fields used to capture information from DUT, ex:
read data, response, etc
Sequence item example
UVM Sequence item Methods

 Create()
 Print()
 Copy()
 Clone()
 Compare()
 Pack and Unpack
Create() & print() method
Copy() method
Clone() method
Compare() method
PACK and UNPACK

 The pack methods bitwise-concatenate this object’s properties into an array


of bits, bytes, or int
 The unpack methods extract property values from an array of bits, bytes, or
int
 Pack and Unpack bits
The packing is done in bitwise
 Pack and Unpack Bytes
The packing is done in bytes(8)
 Pack and Unpack int
The packing is done as int(32 bit)
Pack and Unpack bits
Pack and Unpack Bytes
Pack and Unpack int
