ENVIRONMENT




Enviroment class contains instancess of all the verification components. Environment class is extension on rvm_env class.
The testbench simulation needs some systamatic flow like reset,initilize etc. rvm_env base class has methods to support this simulation flow.
The rvm_env class divides a simulation into the following steps, with corresponding methods:
-- gen_cfg() : Randomize test configuration descriptor
-- build() : Allocate and connect test environment components
-- reset_dut_t() : Reset the DUT
-- cfg_dut_t() : Download test configuration into the DUT
-- start_t() : Start components
-- wait_for_end_t() : End of test detection
-- stop_t() : Stop data generators and wait for DUT to drain
-- cleanup_t() : Check recorded statistics and sweep for lost data
-- report() : Print final report
