PHASE 6 DRIVER
Driver
In this phase we will develop the driver. Driver is defined by extending ovm_driver. Driver takes the transaction from the sequencer using seq_item_port. This transaction will be driven to DUT as per the interface specification. After driving the transaction to DUT, it sends the transaction to scoreboard using ovm_analysis_port.
In driver class, we will also define task for resetting DUT and configuring the DUT. After completing the driver class implementation, we will instantiate it in environment class and connect the sequencer to it. We will also update the test case and run the simulation to check the implementation which we did till now.
1) Define the driver class by extending ovm_driver;
`ifndef GUARD_DRIVER
`define GUARD_DRIVER
class Driver extends ovm_driver #(Packet);
endclass : Driver
2) Create a handle to configuration object. Using this object we can get DUT interfaces and DUT port addresses.
Configuration cfg;
3) Declare input and memory interfaces
virtual input_interface.IP input_intf;
virtual mem_interface.MEM mem_intf;
4) Declare ovm_analysis_port which is used to send packets to scoreboard.
ovm_analysis_port #(Packet) Drvr2Sb_port;
5) Declare component utilities macro.
`ovm_component_utils(Driver)
6) Define the constructor method. Pass the parent object to super class.
function new( string name = "" , ovm_component parent = null) ;
super.new( name , parent );
endfunction : new
7) In the build method and construct Drvr2Sb_port object.
function void build();
super.build();
Drvr2Sb_port = new("Drvr2Sb_port", this);
endfunction : build
8) In the end_of_elaboration() method, get the configuration object using get_config_object and update the virtual interfaces.
function void end_of_elaboration();
ovm_object tmp;
super.end_of_elaboration();
assert(get_config_object("Configuration",tmp));
$cast(cfg,tmp);
this.input_intf = cfg.input_intf;
this.mem_intf = cfg.mem_intf;
endfunction : end_of_elaboration
9) Define the reset_dut() method which will be used for resetting the DUT.
virtual task reset_dut();
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"Start of reset_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
mem_intf.mem_data <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_add <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_en <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_rd_wr <= 0;
input_intf.data_in <= 0;
input_intf.data_status <= 0;
input_intf.reset <= 1;
repeat (4) @ input_intf.clock;
input_intf.reset <= 0;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"End of reset_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
endtask : reset_dut
10) Define the cfg_dut() method which does the configuration due port address.
virtual task cfg_dut();
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"Start of cfg_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
mem_intf.mem_en <= 1;
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_rd_wr <= 1;
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h0;
mem_intf.mem_data <= cfg.device0_add;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),
$psprintf(" Port 0 Address %h ",cfg.device0_add),OVM_LOW);
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h1;
mem_intf.mem_data <= cfg.device1_add;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),
$psprintf(" Port 1 Address %h ",cfg.device1_add),OVM_LOW);
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h2;
mem_intf.mem_data <= cfg.device2_add;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),
$psprintf(" Port 2 Address %h ",cfg.device2_add),OVM_LOW);
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h3;
mem_intf.mem_data <= cfg.device3_add;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),
$psprintf(" Port 3 Address %h ",cfg.device3_add),OVM_LOW);
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_en <=0;
mem_intf.mem_rd_wr <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_add <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_data <= 0;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"End of cfg_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
endtask : cfg_dut
11) Define drive() method which will be used to drive the packet to DUT. In this method pack the packet fields using the pack_bytes() method of the transaction and drive the packed data to DUT interface.
task drive(Packet pkt);
byte unsigned bytes[];
int pkt_len;
pkt_len = pkt.pack_bytes(bytes);
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"Driving packet ...",OVM_LOW);
foreach(bytes[i])
begin
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
input_intf.data_status <= 1 ;
input_intf.data_in <= bytes[i];
end
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
input_intf.data_status <= 0 ;
input_intf.data_in <= 0;
repeat(2) @(posedge input_intf.clock);
endtask : drive
12) Now we will use the above 3 defined methods and update the run() method of ovm_driver.
First call the reset_dut() method and then cfg_dut(). After completing the configuration, in a forever loop get the transaction from seq_item_port and send it DUT using drive() method and also to scoreboard using Drvr2SB_port .
task run();
Packet pkt;
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
reset_dut();
cfg_dut();
forever begin
seq_item_port.get_next_item(pkt);
Drvr2Sb_port.write(pkt);
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
drive(pkt);
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
seq_item_port.item_done();
end

2) In the build() method itself, using set_config_object , configure the configuration object with the one which is in top module.
with this, the configuration object in Sequencer and Driver will be pointing to the one which in top module.
set_config_object("t_env.*","Configuration",cfg);
3) In the build method, using set_config_string, configure the default_sequence of the sequencer to use the sequence which we defined.
set_config_string("*.Seqncr", "default_sequence", "Seq_device0_and_device1");
4) Set the sequencer count value to 2 .
set_config_int("*.Seqncr", "count",2);
5) Update the run() method to print the Sequencer details.

Driver
In this phase we will develop the driver. Driver is defined by extending ovm_driver. Driver takes the transaction from the sequencer using seq_item_port. This transaction will be driven to DUT as per the interface specification. After driving the transaction to DUT, it sends the transaction to scoreboard using ovm_analysis_port.
In driver class, we will also define task for resetting DUT and configuring the DUT. After completing the driver class implementation, we will instantiate it in environment class and connect the sequencer to it. We will also update the test case and run the simulation to check the implementation which we did till now.
1) Define the driver class by extending ovm_driver;
`ifndef GUARD_DRIVER
`define GUARD_DRIVER
class Driver extends ovm_driver #(Packet);
endclass : Driver
2) Create a handle to configuration object. Using this object we can get DUT interfaces and DUT port addresses.
Configuration cfg;
3) Declare input and memory interfaces
virtual input_interface.IP input_intf;
virtual mem_interface.MEM mem_intf;
4) Declare ovm_analysis_port which is used to send packets to scoreboard.
ovm_analysis_port #(Packet) Drvr2Sb_port;
5) Declare component utilities macro.
`ovm_component_utils(Driver)
6) Define the constructor method. Pass the parent object to super class.
function new( string name = "" , ovm_component parent = null) ;
super.new( name , parent );
endfunction : new
7) In the build method and construct Drvr2Sb_port object.
function void build();
super.build();
Drvr2Sb_port = new("Drvr2Sb_port", this);
endfunction : build
8) In the end_of_elaboration() method, get the configuration object using get_config_object and update the virtual interfaces.
function void end_of_elaboration();
ovm_object tmp;
super.end_of_elaboration();
assert(get_config_object("Configuration",tmp));
$cast(cfg,tmp);
this.input_intf = cfg.input_intf;
this.mem_intf = cfg.mem_intf;
endfunction : end_of_elaboration
9) Define the reset_dut() method which will be used for resetting the DUT.
virtual task reset_dut();
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"Start of reset_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
mem_intf.mem_data <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_add <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_en <= 0;
mem_intf.mem_rd_wr <= 0;
input_intf.data_in <= 0;
input_intf.data_status <= 0;
input_intf.reset <= 1;
repeat (4) @ input_intf.clock;
input_intf.reset <= 0;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"End of reset_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
endtask : reset_dut
10) Define the cfg_dut() method which does the configuration due port address.
virtual task cfg_dut();
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"Start of cfg_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
mem_intf.mem_en <= 1;
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_rd_wr <= 1;
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h0;
mem_intf.mem_data <= cfg.device0_add;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),
$psprintf(" Port 0 Address %h ",cfg.device0_add),OVM_LOW);
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h1;
mem_intf.mem_data <= cfg.device1_add;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),
$psprintf(" Port 1 Address %h ",cfg.device1_add),OVM_LOW);
@(posedge mem_intf.clock);
mem_intf.mem_add <= 8'h2;

mem_intf.mem_data <= 0;
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"End of cfg_dut() method ",OVM_LOW);
endtask : cfg_dut
11) Define drive() method which will be used to drive the packet to DUT. In this method pack the packet fields using the pack_bytes() method of the transaction and drive the packed data to DUT interface.
task drive(Packet pkt);
byte unsigned bytes[];
int pkt_len;
pkt_len = pkt.pack_bytes(bytes);
ovm_report_info(get_full_name(),"Driving packet ...",OVM_LOW);
foreach(bytes[i])
begin
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
input_intf.data_status <= 1 ;
input_intf.data_in <= bytes[i];
end
@(posedge input_intf.clock);
input_intf.data_status <= 0 ;
input_intf.data_in <= 0;
repeat(2) @(posedge input_intf.clock);
endtask : drive
12) Now we will use the above 3 defined methods and update the run() method of ovm_driver.
First call the reset_dut() method and then cfg_dut(). After completing the configuration, in a forever loop get the transaction from seq_item_port and send it DUT using drive() method and also to scoreboard using Drvr2SB_port .
task run();

Environment Updates
We will take the instance of Sequencer and Driver and connect them in Environment class.
1) Declare handles to Driver and Sequencer.
Sequencer Seqncr;
Driver Drvr;
2) In build method, construct Seqncr and Drvr object using create() method.
Drvr = Driver::type_id::create("Drvr",this);

Testcase Updates
We will update the testcase and run the simulation.
1)In the build() method, update the configuration address in the configuration object which in top module.
function void build();
super.build();
cfg.device0_add = 0;
cfg.device1_add = 1;
cfg.device2_add = 2;
cfg.device3_add = 3;
2) In the build() method itself, using set_config_object , configure the configuration object with the one which is in top module.
with this, the configuration object in Sequencer and Driver will be pointing to the one which in top module.
set_config_object("t_env.*","Configuration",cfg);
3) In the build method, using set_config_string, configure the default_sequence of the sequencer to use the sequence which we defined.
set_config_string("*.Seqncr", "default_sequence", "Seq_device0_and_device1");
4) Set the sequencer count value to 2 .
set_config_int("*.Seqncr", "count",2);
5) Update the run() method to print the Sequencer details.
t_env.Seqncr.print();
(S)Testcase code
class test1 extends ovm_test;
`ovm_component_utils(test1)
Environment t_env ;
function new (string name="test1", ovm_component parent=null);
super.new (name, parent);
t_env = new("t_env",this);
endfunction : new
function void build();
super.build();
cfg.device0_add = 0;
cfg.device1_add = 1;
cfg.device2_add = 2;
cfg.device3_add = 3;
set_config_object("t_env.*","Configuration",cfg);
set_config_string("*.Seqncr", "default_sequence", "Seq_device0_and_device1");
set_config_int("*.Seqncr", "count",2);
endfunction
task run ();
