- Update to address if max < min sometimes multiple errors were generated
- Calls to singleton forgot to pass ParentID and Search parameter to internal Protected type calls
- Moved the different versions of IfElse function into this package
- Added OSVVM_SETTINGS_REVISION and OSVVM_RAW_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
- Updated with settings for 2024
- Notable changes
- Random InitSeed uses new seed methods by default. Randomizations are likely to produce different results.
- Coverage uses randomizes using REMAIN mode rather than AT_LEAST. Intelligent Randomization Randomizations are likely to produce different results.
- Alerts/Logs Write Time First and Justified by default
- WriteScoreboardYaml uses base name rather than whole name
- Added handling for line having LF and CR at the end of the string
- This supports non-compliant implementations
- Check for pointer non-null before deallocation (supports non-compliant implementations)
Most of package is now gone. Configuration of AlertLogPkg now handled though constants in OsvvmSettingsPkg_local.vhd or OsvvmSettingsPkg_default.vhd This allows the settings to be adjusted once for the entire library rather than by every testbench.
- Changed settings to constants in OsvvmSettingsPkg rather than using Shared variable + PT and multiple levels of indirection.
- Added AffirmIfTranscriptsMatch
- Addressed issue so that a data structure and a VC ModelID can have the same name.
- Moved the different versions of IfElse function to this IfElsePkg.vhd
- Added BarrierType
- Added SetRandomSalt function that returns its input value
- Added impure function RandInt return integer that uses integer'low to integer'high
- Uses settings from OsvvmSettingsPkg to control default behaviors
- Changed settings to constants in OsvvmSettingsPkg rather than using Shared variable + PT and multiple levels of indirection.
- Uses settings from OsvvmSettingsPkg to control default behaviors
- Added AlertLogID to SafeResize
- Improved message for errors.
- Adjustments for Xilinx - but gave up and created MemoryGenericPkg_xilinx.vhd
- Added IfElsePkg
- Defines deferred constants that initialize settings in packages
- WriteScoreboardYaml - updated to allow either full name of yaml file or just specifying base name
- Default method for WriteScoreboardYaml selectable in OsvvmSettingsPkg (and the final setting of the call).
- Updated spacing in printing
- Updated for constants in OsvvmSettingsPkg
- Updated justify calculations and printing for better unification of it.
- TranscriptClose if stop due to count
- Updated for constants in OsvvmSettingsPkg
- Updated for constants in OsvvmSettingsPkg
- Added WriteSimTimeYaml to add "now" to yaml report
- Added OSVVM_REVISION
Implements a pattern for randomizing cycle based delays such as AXI's Valid and Ready.
- Updated InitSeed to include name of ParentID
- Added bug fix for NVC
- Added IsNotCovered
Added DelayCoveragePkg
Bug fix in Yaml file. No longer has items whose ReportMode is DISABLED
Updated Pop fail on empty error to print tag if a tag is used
Updated OsvvmScriptSettingsPkg to only contains the package declaration with deferred constants. Scripts generate package, OsvvmScriptSettingsPkg_generated, with constants defined by scripts. OsvvmScriptSettingsPkg_generated is in the .gitignore, so it will not indicate your repository has been updated.
If you are not using OSVVM compile scripts and do not wish to generate the file, OsvvmScriptSettingsPkg_default has the values that were used in older revisions.
Added GetTranscriptName
Added TranscriptOpen without parameters. Names transcript GetTranscriptName & ".log"
Bug fix for Peek with a tag
Defines settings that are shared by the scripts. Autogenerated by OSVVM scripts.
- TranscriptPkg, AlertLogPkg, CoveragePkg, ReportPkg, ScoreboardGenericPkg, ScoreboardPkg_xxx_c.vhd
Added functions for RandomSalt to allow setting in a declaration region
Added OsvvmScriptSettingsPkg
Changed the default of the search parameter to PRIVATE_NAME. The original preference was NAME_AND_PARENT_ELSE_PRIVATE.
When iterating across VC instances using for generate,
each instance ended up with the same name. As a result,
all the FIFOs, Scoreboards, Coverage Models, and Memories
in the multiple instances were shared by default, unless,
more advanced methods for setting the AlertLogID for the VC.
These methods require users to also set generics.
The result is a methodology that goes wrong for basic users.
Added SetRandomSalt(string or integer), GetRandomSalt (integer).
Added Parent Name to YAML output.
Changed PRIVATE to PRIVATE_NAME to avoid VHDL-2019 issue.
Minor teaks for code quality improvement. Working toward MemoryBaseType being a generic. Waiting on GHDL release update.
Changed PRIVATE to PRIVATE_NAME to avoid VHDL-2019 issue.
Added FifoCount to YAML output.
Added WaitForTransactionOrIrq, FinishTransaction, TransactionPending for RdyType, AckType
Updated AffirmIfCovered and AlertIfNotCovered for Aldec 2018.02 version
Added IsHexOrStdLogic. Updated ReadHexToken to support reading "UWLH-"
New. Implements storage policies for MemoryGenericPkg/MemoryPkg Supports any bit length of memory.
Added Output formatter that allows adjustments to output. Updated output of AlertIfDiff / AffirmIfNotDiff.
Updated CoveragePkg for putting coverage pass/fail into YAML and reports. Added AffirmIfCovered.
Added EdgeRose, EdgeFell, EdgeActive, FindRisingEdge, FindFallingEdge, FindActiveEdge Updated WaitForTransaction for RdyType/AckType to use EdgeActive
Maintence update to SetAlertLogID / NewID
Added SetAlertPrintCount. Sets a maximum number of times to print an Alert level for an AlertLogID. Added NewID to bring consistent naming with other Singleton data structures and new capability (PrintParent and ReportMode).
Updated NewID with ParentID, ReportMode, Search, PrintParent. Supports searching for coverage models.
Updated NewID with ReportMode, Search, PrintParent. Supports searching for Memory models.
Updated NewID with ParentID, ReportMode, Search, PrintParent. Supports searching for Scoreboard models. Added support to do Scoreboard Reports (GotScoreboards, WriteScoreboardYaml)
In EndOfTestReports, added calls to WriteScoreboardYaml for Scoreboard reporting.
Updated NewID and Find with ParentID and Search. Supports searching in CoveragePkg, ScoreboardGenericPkg, and MemoryPkg.
Updated to_hxstring for better meta value handling (U, X, Z, W, ). Four consecutive meta values result in that character. Mixed meta results in '?'. Added Justify that aligns LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER with parameters in a sensible order.
Added support for IdSeparator. Supports PrintParent mode PRINT_NAME_AND_PARENT.
Added NameLength method to NamePType
Added to_hxstring - based on hxwrite (in TbUtilPkg prior to release)
For AlertIfEqual and AffirmIfEqual, all arrays of std_ulogic use to_hxstring Updated return value for PathTail
Added DeallocateBins and TCover Updates to allow AddBins and AddCross with 0 for AtLeast and Weight Updated GenBin s.t. defaults AtLeast and Weight to 0 Updated AddBins and AddCross s.t. defaults AtLeast and Weight to 1
Added CheckExpected Added SetCheckCountZero to ScoreboardPType
Added MetaTo01 Added WaitForTransaction without clock for RdyType/AckType and bit
Defined slv_vector
Added OsvvmTypesPkg
Added ReadCovYaml.
Minor updates. Print CovWeight first in WriteCovYaml. Update to usage of PercentCov in GetCov.
Implements EndOfTestReports (was called EndOfTestSummary in 2021.09). EndOfTestReports calls
- ReportAlerts from AlertPkg,
- WriteAlertSummaryYaml from AlertPkg to generate Build Report .yml,
- WriteAlertYaml from AlertPkg to generate ./reports/_alerts.yml
- WriteCovYaml from CoveragePkg to generate ./reports/_cov.yml See the OSVVM scripts as the above YAML files are all automatically converted to HTML. Make sure to name your tests with AlertLogPkg.SetAlertLogName as that is where the above "" comes from.
Added WriteAlertYaml to create AlertLog reports in Yaml (which the scripts convert to HTML) WriteAlertSummaryYaml replaced the experimental CreateYamlReport. Both of the above are called by ReportPkg.EndOfTestReports. See above. Deprecated Items:
- CreateYamlReport is deprecated. Please use WriteAlertSummaryYaml.
- EndOfTestSummary was moved to ReportPkg and deprecated. It is replaced by EndOfTestReports. The move was necessary as it calls procedures from AlertLogPkg and CoveragePkg.
Added WriteCovYaml which is called by EndOfTestReports
Experimental Release of EndOfTestSummary and CreateYamlReport
Minor update to WriteBin in CoveragePkg for setting parameters
Reintroduced into the repository. Cadence Xcelium does not yet support generics on a package.
CoveragePkg.vhd, MemoryPkg.vhd, NameStorePkg.vhd, RandomPkg.vhd, RandomBasePkg.vhd, and ScoreboardGenericPkg.vhd
Deprecated and removed SetAlertLogID. Use NewID instead. Deprecated SetName, SetMessage. Deprecated AddBins, AddCross, GenBin, and GenCross with weight parameter.
Deprecated and removed SetAlertLogID. Use NewID instead.
Created linked list version for multi-line message handling. Deprecated protected type version (MessagePkg) as it cannot be used directly in the new data structures.
Added new data structure to CoveragePkg to facilitate creating functional coverage using ordinary procedure and function calls.
The compile script, osvvm.tcl, is no longer supported. Correct order is specified above as well as by osvvm.pro.
Refactored conversions of transaction records from ResolutionPkg.vhd into ResizePkg.vhd. Part of plan to transaction to VHDL-2019 interfaces.
NamePkg with updated data structure to better support new data structures
Minor updates to FindAlertLogID
Updated InitSeed for better seeds. Defaults to old method. Moved some items from RandomPkg to RandomBasePkg to support future revisions
Added to support new data structures in CoveragePkg. Capability limited to what is needed by CoveragePkg. When you can use a protected type, use RandomPkg.vhd. When we have VHDL-2019 support will no longer need this.
New data structure. Supports old code. Adds new use models.
New MemoryPkg.vhd replaces MemoryPkg_2019 with data structure + NewID
New data structure. Supports old code. Adds new use models.
Updated ToTransaction and FromTransaction with length parameter. Downsizing now permitted when it does not change the value.
Beta version of MemoryPType with VHDL-2019 generics. Used in place of MemoryPkg. Tested in RivieraPro. Requires compile switch -2019.
Added MetaMatch to AffirmIfEqual and AffirmIfNotEqual for std_logic family to use MetaMatch. Added AffirmIfEqual for boolean. Oversight as MetaMatch was added to AlertIfEqual and AlertIfNotEqual in 2020.10.
Updated TranscriptOpen parameter Status to InOut to work around simulator bug.
Added function MetaMatch. It is similar to STD_MATCH and ?=, except that U=U, X=X, Z=Z, and W=W. All else is the same as STD_MATCH. AlertIfEqual and AlertIfNotEqual for std_logic family use MetaMatch rather than ?=.
Uses MetaMatch for the Match function instead of STD_MATCH.
2020.08 is a major update to AlertLogPkg.
This revision is the Alpha release of integrated Specification Tracking capability. Specification tracking capability is a work in progress and may change in future releases until stabilized.
Added requirements in the form of "PASSED" Goals that are reported with ReportAlerts. A PASSED goal is a number of "PASSED" affirmations an AlertLogID must have. There are two mechanisms to set passed goals: GetReqID and ReadSpecification.
When a test has requirements, a test will fail if requirements are not met and FailOnrequirementErrors is true (default is TRUE). Disable using SetAlertLogOptions(FailOnRequirementErrors => TRUE).
For a test that has requirements, summary of ReportAlerts will print a requirements summary (# met of # total) if PrintIfHaveRequirements is TRUE (default is TRUE) or PrintRequirements is TRUE (default is FALSE). Either of these can be changed using SetAlertLogOptions.
For a test that fails, detailed printing of requirements will be printed in ReportAlerts if PrintRequirements is TRUE (default is FALSE).
Requirements can be specified using either ReadSpecification or GetReqID. Requirements are recorded with AffirmIF. A new form of AffirmIF was added, AffirmIF("RequirementName", condition, ... ). Currently overloading for the new AffirmIf is limited to AffirmIf. Other variations such as AffirmIFEqual may be used by calling AffirmIfEqual(GetReqID("RequirementName"), ...).
Requirements are reported in ReportAlerts -- but only in detail if the test fails. Requirements are reported always in ReportRequirements.
WriteAlerts prints the information from ReportAlerts as a CSV file. WriteRequirements prints the information in ReportRequirements as a CSV file.
ReadRequirements reads and merges requirement information from multiple separate tests.
WriteTestSummary prints the summary information from the first line of WriteAlerts as a CSV file. It is intended that the results of multiple tests are written out into the same file -- collecting all test results together. ReadTestSummaries reads this information in as "requirements". This can be used in conjunction with ReadSpecification to specify which tests should run -- so we can detect whether all tests have run and have passed. ReportTestSummaries prints out the test summaries. WriteTestSummaries writes out the test summaries as a CSV file.
Added the functions RandBool, RandSl, RandBit, DistBool, DistSl, and DistBit.
Added the procedures ReadUntilDelimiterOrEOL and FindDelimiter.
Major update to AlertLogPkg. Output formatting of ReportAlerts has changed.
Added count of Log PASSED for each level. Prints by default. Disable by using SetAlertLogOptions (PrintPassed => DISABLED).
Added total count of log PASSED for all levels. Prints in "%% DONE" line by default. Disable as per each level. However, always prints if passed count or affirmation count is > 0.
Added affirmation counts for each level. Prints by default. Disable by using SetAlertLogOptions (PrintAffirmations => DISABLED).
Total count of affirmations is disabled using SetAlertLogOptions above. However, it always prints if affirmation count > 0.
Disabled alerts are now tracked with a separate DisabledAlertCount for each level. These do not print by default. Enable printing for these by using SetAlertLogOptions (PrintDisabledAlerts => ENABLED).
A total of the DisabledAlertCounts is tracked. Prints in "%% DONE" anytime PrintDisabledAlerts is enabled or FailOnDisabledErrors is enabled. FailOnDisabledErrors is enabled by default. Disable with SetAlertLogOptions (FailOnDisabledErrors => DISABLED).
Internal to the protected type of AlertLogPkg is AffirmCount which tracks the total of FAILURE, ERROR, and WARNING and ErrorCount which tracks a single integer value for all errors. Many simulators give you the ability to trace these in your waveform windows.
Added printing of current ErrorCount in the alert and log messages. When enabled, the number immediately follows the "%% Alert" or "%% Log". Enable using SetAlertLogOptions (WriteAlertErrorCount=> ENABLED) and SetAlertLogOptions (WriteLogErrorCount=> ENABLED).
Added enable parameter to SetAlertLogJustify(Enable := TRUE) to allow turning off justification.
Added pragmas "synthesis translate_off" and "synthesis translate_on" in a first attempt to make the package ok for synthesis tools. It has not been tested, so you will need to try it out and report back.
Added a prefix and suffix for Alerts and Logs. They support set, unset, and get operations using SetAlertLogPrefix(ID, "String"), UnSetAlertLogPrefix(ID), GetAlertLogPrefix(ID), SetAlertLogSuffix(ID, "String"), UnSetAlertLogSuffix (ID), and GetAlertLogSuffix (ID).
Added ClearAlertStopCounts and ClearAlertCounts. ClearAlerts clears AlertCount, DisabledAlertCount, AffirmCount, PassedCount for each level as well as ErrorCount, AlertCount, PassedCount, and AffirmCount for the top level. ClearAlertStopCounts resets the stop counts back to their default values. ClearAlertCounts calls both ClearAlerts and ClearAlertStopCounts.
Minor enhancements.
Added GetIncIndex, GetIncBinVal, GetIncPoint which get the index, BinVal, or point of the next bin in the coverage model (following an incrementing with wrap around pattern).
Added GetNextIndex, GetNextBinValue, GetNextPoint which in turn use Random, Incrementing, or Minimum pattern to select the next index, BinVal, or point. The intent is to allow a test to algorithmically or via a generic select its mode of next item selection. The selection can be made through an explicit parameter of type NextPointModeType (whose values are RANDOM, INCREMENT, or MIN). If no parameter is specified, the internal NextPointModeVar is used. It is set by calling SetNextPointMode(Mode => RANDOM).
GetLastIndex now will return the index that was last used for either used for stimulus generation (in the case of GetRandIndex, GetIncIndex, GetMinIndex, GetMaxIndex, or GetNextIndex) or coverage collection (in the case of ICover).
For consistency in naming, GetRandIndex (new capability), GetRandBinVal, and GetRandPoint are introduced to deprecate RandCovBinVal and RandCovPoint.
Added conversions from integer to_boolean and to_std_logic and from integer_vector to_boolean_vector and to_std_logic_vector (and alias: to_slv).
Minor enhancements.
Added Check function that returns true when the check passes.
Added additional counts to track the number of items that have been popped from the FIFO (GetPopCount). Added capability to report the number of items in the FIFO with GetFifoCount. Number of items Pushed into the FIFO is now available as GetPushCount (as well as GetItemCount).
Added Extend and Reduce functions for type std_logic_vector. Extend is resize that only allows the array size to grow and is used when putting a value into the transaction record. Reduce is resize that only allows the array size to stay the same or shrink and is used when removing a value from the transaction record.
Added ToTransaction to convert from std_logic_vector to the transaction type std_logic_vector_c. Alternately use type conversion std_logic_vector_c. Added FromTransaction to convert from the transaction type std_logic_vector_c to std_logic_vector. Alternately could use type conversion std_logic_vector.
Updated license to Apache.
This is a minor release. No other documentation has been updated for this release.
See the 2018.04 release notes for details.
Added minor fix to PathTail. Did some changes to prepare to change AlertLogIDType to a type.
Added minor fix to the calculation of PercentCov so when AtLeast is less than or equal to 0 the value is correct. Added "string'" fix for GHDL. Removed deprecated procedure Increment - however see TbUtilPkg as it moved there.
Added RequestTransaction, WaitForTransaction, Toggle, WaitForToggle for bit. Added Increment and WaitForToggle for integer.
Made Pop Functions Visible. Did preparations for AlertLogIDType to change to a type.
Minor updates to Alert message.
AffirmIf and AffirmIfNot has additional overloading. Added AffirmIfEqual, AffirmIfDiff, GetAffirmCount, IncAffirmCount, IsAlertEnabled, and IsLogEnabled.
Deprecated GetAffirmCheckCount (see GetAffirmCount), IncAffirmCheckCount (see IncAffirmCount), and IsLoggingEnabled (see IsLogEnabled and GetLogEnable). Deprecated the overloading of AffirmIf that has an AlertLevel and/or LogLevel as a parameter - for AffirmIf AlertLevel should be ERROR and LogLevel should be PASSED.
Updated the printing of WriteBin so that the bin name is printed (if it is specified by either SetAlertLogID or SetName). Added ClearCov (which deprecates SetCovZero) - makes naming similar to AlertLogPkg ClearAlerts.
Updated printing to correlate with AffirmIf. First the received (actual) value is printed and then the expected value is printed. In addition, the expected value is only printed when it does not match the actual value (an ERROR).
Note that while ScoreboardGenericPkg, TbUtilPkg, and ResolutionPkg are new to OSVVM, they have been distributed with SynthWorks' VHDL training classes for some time now.
Provides API to link CoveragePkg to vendor tools. Compile either VendorCovApiPkg.vhd or VendorCovApiPkg_Aldec.vhd.
Added BlankLine procedure to print blank lines.
Added to_lower and to_upper. These are necessary when using 'instance_name with a call to InitSeed in either RandomPkg or CoveragePkg.
Fixed IsLogEnableType (for PASSED) and AffirmIf (to pass AlertLevel).
Revised Add. When a matching value is found, add the value after the previous value. Supports situations where the key is shorter than the entire word.
No changes to RandomPkg. Advanced release for both the package and the documentation so they are consistent.
Added calls to VendorCovApiPkg to record coverage in the simulator database. Added GetBinName(Index) to return a coverage bin name.
Refined MemRead to return value if written, X if previous contained an X, or U if the location has never been written.
Generic package for creation of Scoreboards and FIFOs inside of a protected type.
Instance of ScoreboardGenericPkg for types std_logic_vector and integer.
Resolution functions to simplify using records as a transaction interface.
Handshaking utilities for transaction based testbenches. Targeted for use in testbenches that use multiple process (multi-threaded) transaction dispatch.
Updated to include ResolutionPkg and TbUtilPkg. Note that ScoreboardPkg_int and ScoreboardPkg_slv are intentionally left out as if they are not used the reference will be a nuisance.
Compile script for OSVVM in ModelSim, QuestaSim, and RivieraPro. Be sure to update the path to your files and choose the correct version of VendorCovApiPkg.
Fixed bug that kept more than 32 bins from being used.
Revised ConcatenateBins so it does not call Alert to allow it to be a pure function. Added bounds checking to ICover so that if ICover is called with the wrong length of integer_vector, it will cause an Alert FAILURE.
Changed L.all(1) to L.all(L'left). GHDL does not default objects of type line to have an index of 1.
Minor reorganization of code so that all calls to TranscriptOpen eventually call the same code.
New to OSVVM. Package with protected type for implementing memories. Methods MemInit, MemRead, MemWrite, MemErase, FileReadH, FileReadB, FileWriteH, FileWriteB, SetAlertLogID, Deallocate.
Added AffirmIf. Added PASSED log level. Added IncAlertCount as a silent alert (Used by CoveragePkg). Revised ReportAlerts to print number of affirmations checked. Added GetAffirmCheckCount, IncAffirmCheckCOunt. ClearAlerts also clears affirmations. Added CreateHierarchy final parameter to GetAlertLogID. Added a Get for every Set. Moved EmptyOrCommentLine to TextUtilPkg and revised.
Implemented Mirroring for WriteBin and WriteCovHoles. When in ILLEGAL_OFF mode, added IncAlertCount (as a silent alert). Added SetAlertLogID(Name, ParentID, CreateHierarchy). Updated Alert output format. Added AddCross(CovMatrix?Type). Deprecated AddBins(CovMatrix?Type). Moved EmptyOrCommentLine to TextUtilPkg and revised.
Shared utilities for file reading. SkipWhiteSpace, EmptyOrCommentLine, ReadHexToken, ReadBinaryToken.
Revised calls to Alert to 2015.03 preferred format with AlertLogID first.
Added input parameter to Get to specify a return value when NamePtr is not initialized.
Changed GenRandSeed to impure since it calls Alert (and Alert is a parent of a call to a protected type method).
Added MemoryPkg
Added AlertIfEqual, AlertIfNotEqual, and AlertIfDiff (file). Added ReadLogEnables to initialize LogEnables from a file. Added ReportNonZeroAlerts. Added PathTail to extract an instance name from MyEntity'PathName. Added ReportLogEnables and GetAlertLogName. See AlertLogPkg_User_Guide.pdf for details.
For hierarchy mode, AlertIfEqual, AlertIfNotEqual, and AlertIfDiff have the AlertLogID parameter first. Overloading was added for AlertIf and AlertIfNot to make these consistent. Now with multiple parameters, it is easier to remember that the AlertLogID parameter is first. The older AlertIf and AlertIfNot with the AlertLogID as the second parameter were kept for backward compatibility, but are considered bad practice to use in new code.
Added ParentID parameter to FindAlertLogID. This is necessary to correctly find an ID within an entity that is used more than once.
Bug fix: Updated GetAlertLogID to use the two parameter FindAlertLogID. Without this fix, Alerts with the same name incorrectly use the same AlertLogID.
Bug fix: Updated NewAlertLogRec (called by GetAlertLogID) so a new record gets Alert and Log enables based on its ParentID rather than the ALERTLOG_BASE_ID. Issue, if created an Comp1_AlertLogID, and disabled a level (such as WARNING), and then created a childID of Comp1_AlertLogID, WARNING would not be disabled in childID.
Bug fix: Updated ClearAlerts to correctly set stop counts (broke since it previously did not use named association). Without this fix, after calling ClearAlerts, a single FAILURE would not stop a simulation, however, a single WARNING would stop a simulation.
OsvvmContext is a context declaration. Rather than referencing osvvm packages with individual use clauses, instead use a single context reference:
library osvvm ;
context osvvm.OsvvmContext ;
Manages global report settings for CoveragePkg and AlertLogPkg. Provides constants and base types for AlertLogPkg.
TranscriptPkg simplifies different parts of a testbench using a common transcript file (named TranscriptFile). Also provides overloading for Print and WriteLine that use TranscriptFile when it is opened (via TranscriptOpen), and otherwise, use std.env.OUTPUT.
New package added to allow catching and counting of assert FAILURE, ERROR, WARNING as well as do verbosity filtering for log files.
The package offers either a native OSVVM mode or an interface mode. In the interface mode, the package body is used to redirect OSVVM internal calls to a separate alert/log package. For example, for BitVis Utility Library (BVUL), there is a package body of AlertLogPkg that allows OSVVM to record asserts and logs via BVUL. By only changing the package body, the interface mode can be recompiled without requiring other elements of the OSVVM library to be recompiled. This same methodology allows connection to other packages.
Replaced all asserts with calls to AlertPkg.
Replaced all asserts and reports with calls to AlertPkg. Added a verbosity flag to WriteBin to allow it to handle debug calls.
WriteBin prints a multiple line report. As a result, instead of calling Log in the AlertPkg, package, when called with a verbosity flag, WriteBin first checks to see if its ScopeID and Verbosity Level are allowed to print. If enabled, it then uses write and writeline to print the report.
The undocumented method, DumpBin, now has a LogLevel parameter. Its interface is:
procedure DumpBin (LogLevel : LogType := DEBUG) ;
The following methods were added:
procedure SetAlertLogID (A : AlertLogIDType) ;
impure function GetAlertLogID return AlertLogIDType ;
impure function SetName (Name : String) return string ;
impure function GetName return String ;
impure function InitSeed (S : string ) return string ;
procedure WriteBin (LogLevel : LogType ; . . .) ;
procedure WriteCovHoles ( LogLevel : LogType ; . . . ) ;
Removed memory leak in CoveragePkg.Deallocate. Removed initialized pointers from CoveragePkg, MessagePkg, and NamePkg -- when a protected type with initialized pointers is abandoned, such as when declared in a subprogram exits, a memory leak will occur as there is no destructor to deallocate the initialized pointers.
No changes were made to RandomPkg. It is still labeled 2014.01.
CoveragePkg now references both MessagePkg and NamePkg.
Added names to bins. When using WriteBin or WriteCovHoles, if a bin name is set, it will print. For details, see Setting Bin Names in the Reporting Coverage section of the CoveragePkg Users Guide.
Enhanced WriteBin to print "PASSED" if the count is greater than or equal to the goal (AtLeast value), otherwise, it prints "FAILED". Added a number of parameters to WriteBin to control what fields of a WriteBin report get printed. See Enabling and Disabling WriteBin fields in the Reporting Coverage section of the CoveragePkg Users Guide.
Added randomization for time (RandTime), additional overloading for type real (RandReal), and sets of values for types (integer_vector, real_vector, and time_vector. Made Sort and RevSort from SortListPkg_int visible using aliases.
Revised ReadCovDb to support merging of coverage models (from different test runs).
Revised RandCovPoint and RandCovBinVal to log the bin index in the LastIndex variable. Revised ICover to look in bin referenced by LastIndex first. Added method GetLastIndex to get the variable value. Added GetLastBinVal to get the BinVal of LastIndex.
Revised AddBins and AddCross bin merging to allow arbitrary CountBin overlap. With the addition of LastIndex, the overlap is not an issue.
Split SetName into SetMessage (headers) and SetName (printing illegal bins)
Added method GetItemCount to return the count of the number of randomizations and method GetTotalCovGoal to return the sum of the individual coverage goals in the coverage model.
Added big vector randomization.
No substantial changes. Removed extra variable declaration in functions GetHoleBinval, RandCovBinVal, RandCovHole, GetHoleBinVal. Now referencing NULL_RANGE type from RandomPkg to remove NULL range warnings.
Changed DistInt return value. The return value is now determined by the range of the input array. For literal values, this produces the same value as it did previously. Also added better error checking for weight values.
Added better min, max error handling in Uniform, FavorBig, FavorSmall, Normal, Poisson.
Revised AddBins and AddCross such that bin merging is off by default. Added SetMerging to enable/disable merging. Note: Merging is an experimental feature and still evolving.
Revised AddBins and AddCross to check for changes in BinVal size (different size bin).
Added RandCovPoint for integer.
Added SetThresholding and SetCovThreshold (Percent) to enable/disable(default) thresholding. Revised RandCovPoint and RandCovBinVal to use the new mechanism.
Added SetCovTarget to increase/decrease coverage goals for longer/shorter simulation runs. Made CovTarget the default percentage goal (via overloading) for methods RandCovPoint, RandCovBinVal, IsCovered, CountCovHoles, GetHoleBinVal, and WriteCovHoles.
Revised SetIllegalMode and ICover to support ILLEGAL_FAILURE (severity FAILURE on illegal bin).
Added manual bin iteration support. Added the following methods that return a bin index value: GetNumBins, GetMinIndex, and GetMaxIndex. Added the following methods that return bin values: GetBinVal(BinIndex), GetMinBinVal, and GetMaxBinVal. Added the following methods that return point values: GetPoint(BinIndex), GetMinPoint, and GetMaxPoint.
Added GetCov to return the current percent done of the entire coverage model.
Added FileOpenWriteBin and FileCloseWriteBin to specify default file for WriteBin, WriteCovHoles, and DumpBin.
Added CompareBins to facilitate comparing two coverage models. Added CompareBins to facilitate comparing two coverage models.
Revised WriteBin, WriteCovHoles, and WriteCovDb to check for uninitialized model.
Revised WriteBins and WriteCovHoles to only print weight if the selected WeightMode uses the weight.
Added IsInitialized to check if a coverage model is initialized.
Added GetBinInfo and GetBinValLength to get bin information
Changed WriteCovDb default for File_Open_Kind to WRITE_MODE. Generally only one WriteCovDb is needed per coverage model.
Revised WriteCovDb and ReadCovDb for new internal control/state variables, in the order of ThresholdingEnable, CovTarget, and MergingEnable. To manually edit old file, add FALSE, 100.0, FALSE to end of first line.
Removed IgnoreBin with AtLeast and Weight parameters. These are zero for ignore bins.
Revised method naming for consistency. The following have changed:
| New Name | Old Name | Why |
|---|---|---|
| GetErrorCount | CovBinErrCnt | Consistency between packages |
| GetMinCount | GetMinCov[return integer] | Naming clarity |
| GetMaxCount | GetMaxCov[return integer] | Naming clarity |
| SetName | SetItemName | SetName now does multi-line messages |
| RandCovBinVal | RandCovHole | Naming consistency (2.4) |
| GetHoleBinVal | GetCovHole | Naming consistency (2.4) |
Deprecated usage of the AtLeast parameter (integer) with the following methods: RandCovPoint, RandCovBinVal, IsCovered, CountCovHoles, GetHoleBinVal, and WriteCovHoles.
No changes
Added bin merging and deletion for overlapping bins.
Working on consistency of naming. Renamed RandCovHole to RandCovBinVal. Renamed GetCovHole to GetCovBinVal. Old names maintained for backward compatibility.
| New Name | Old Name | Why |
|---|---|---|
| RandCovBinVal | RandCovHole | Naming consistency |
| GetCovBinVal | GetCovHole | Naming consistency |
No changes
Revision 2.3 adds the function GetBin. GetBin is an accessor function that returns a bin in the form of a record. It is only intended for debugging. In particular, the return value of this function may change as the internal data types evolve.
Removed '_' in the name of subprograms FavorBig and FavorSmall to make more consistent with other subprogram names.
Revision 2.2 adds AtLeast and Weights to the coverage database. The AtLeast value allows individual bins to have a specific coverage goal. A conjunction of the AtLeast and Weight (depending on the WeightMode) are used to weight the random selection of coverage holes. These features are at the heart of intelligent coverage.
Bug fix to convenience functions for slv, unsigned, and signed.
Removed signal based coverage support.
Coverage modeled in a protected type.
Coverage modeled in signals of type integer_vector. The signal based coverage methodology is available in the package, CoverageSigPkg, however, it is recommended that you use CoveragePkg instead.
