Inheritance Diagram of uvm_sequence_item

The base class for user-defined sequence items and also the base class for the uvm_sequence class. The uvm_sequence_item class provides the basic functionality for objects, both sequence items and sequences, to operate in the sequence mechanism.

Constructors

function new ( string name )

The constructor method for uvm_sequence_item.

Functions

virtual function string get_type_name ( )

function void set_sequence_id ( int id )

Function- set_sequence_id

function int get_sequence_id ( )

private

Get_sequence_id is an internal method that is not intended for user code. The sequence_id is not a simple integer. The get_transaction_id is meant for users to identify specific transactions.

These methods allow access to the sequence_item sequence and transaction IDs. get_transaction_id and set_transaction_id are methods on the uvm_transaction base_class. These IDs are used to identify sequences to the sequencer, to route responses back to the sequence that issued a request, and to uniquely identify transactions.

The sequence_id is assigned automatically by a sequencer when a sequence initiates communication through any sequencer calls (i.e. uvm_do_*, wait_for_grant). A sequence_id will remain unique for this sequence until it ends or it is killed. However, a single sequence may have multiple valid sequence ids at any point in time. Should a sequence start again after it has ended, it will be given a new unique sequence_id.

The transaction_id is assigned automatically by the sequence each time a transaction is sent to the sequencer with the transaction_id in its default (-1) value. If the user sets the transaction_id to any non-default value, that value will be maintained.

Responses are routed back to this sequences based on sequence_id. The sequence may use the transaction_id to correlate responses with their requests.

function void set_item_context ( uvm_sequence_base parent_seq, uvm_sequencer_base sequencer )

Set the sequence and sequencer execution context for a sequence item

function void set_use_sequence_info ( bit value )

function bit get_use_sequence_info ( )

These methods are used to set and get the status of the use_sequence_info bit. Use_sequence_info controls whether the sequence information (sequencer, parent_sequence, sequence_id, etc.) is printed, copied, or recorded. When use_sequence_info is the default value of 0, then the sequence information is not used. When use_sequence_info is set to 1, the sequence information will be used in printing and copying.

function void set_id_info ( uvm_sequence_item item )

Copies the sequence_id and transaction_id from the referenced item into the calling item. This routine should always be used by drivers to initialize responses for future compatibility.

virtual function void set_sequencer ( uvm_sequencer_base sequencer )

Sets the default sequencer for the sequence to sequencer. It will take effect immediately, so it should not be called while the sequence is actively communicating with the sequencer.

function uvm_sequencer_base get_sequencer ( )

Returns a reference to the default sequencer used by this sequence.

function void set_parent_sequence ( uvm_sequence_base parent )

Sets the parent sequence of this sequence_item. This is used to identify the source sequence of a sequence_item.

function uvm_sequence_base get_parent_sequence ( )

Returns a reference to the parent sequence of any sequence on which this method was called. If this is a parent sequence, the method returns null .

function void set_depth ( int value )

The depth of any sequence is calculated automatically. However, the user may use set_depth to specify the depth of a particular sequence. This method will override the automatically calculated depth, even if it is incorrect.

function int get_depth ( )

Returns the depth of a sequence from its parent. A parent sequence will have a depth of 1, its child will have a depth of 2, and its grandchild will have a depth of 3.

virtual function bit is_item ( )

This function may be called on any sequence_item or sequence. It will return 1 for items and 0 for sequences (which derive from this class).

virtual function string get_full_name ( )

Function- get_full_name

Internal method; overrides must follow same naming convention

function string get_root_sequence_name ( )

Provides the name of the root sequence (the top-most parent sequence).

function uvm_sequence_base get_root_sequence ( )

Provides a reference to the root sequence (the top-most parent sequence).

function string get_sequence_path ( )

Provides a string of names of each sequence in the full hierarchical path. A "." is used as the separator between each sequence.

virtual function uvm_report_object uvm_get_report_object ( )

Group

Reporting Interface

Sequence items and sequences will use the sequencer which they are associated with for reporting messages. If no sequencer has been set for the item/sequence using set_sequencer or indirectly via uvm_sequence_base::start_item or uvm_sequence_base::start), then the global reporter will be used.

function int uvm_report_enabled ( int verbosity, uvm_severity severity, string id )

virtual function void uvm_report ( uvm_severity severity, string id, string message, int verbosity, string filename, int line, string context_name, bit report_enabled_checked )

virtual function void uvm_report_info ( string id, string message, int verbosity, string filename, int line, string context_name, bit report_enabled_checked )

virtual function void uvm_report_warning ( string id, string message, int verbosity, string filename, int line, string context_name, bit report_enabled_checked )

virtual function void uvm_report_error ( string id, string message, int verbosity, string filename, int line, string context_name, bit report_enabled_checked )

virtual function void uvm_report_fatal ( string id, string message, int verbosity, string filename, int line, string context_name, bit report_enabled_checked )

These are the primary reporting methods in the UVM. uvm_sequence_item derived types delegate these functions to their associated sequencer if they have one, or to the global reporter. See <uvm_report_object::Reporting> for details on the messaging functions.

virtual function void uvm_process_report_message ( uvm_report_message report_message )

virtual function void do_print ( uvm_printer printer )

Function- do_print
