UVM driver和sequencer握手机制 get_next_item() 和 get() and put()

参考链接：UVM 源码

driver 和 sequencer 握手机制一：get_next_item()：

// transaction 

class my_data extends uvm_sequence_item;  // 创建自己的transaction一般是从uvm_sequence_item，而不是uvm_transaction
  	rand bit [7:0]   data;
  	rand bit [7:0]   addr;

	// Rest of the class contents come here ...
endclass

// driver 

class my_driver extends uvm_driver #(my_data);  // my_driver被参数化为仅接受“my_data”类型的对象
	`uvm_component_utils (my_driver)
	
   	virtual task run_phase(uvm_phase phase);
      	super.run_phase(phase);
      
      	// 1. driver用get_next_item()从sequencer拿到item 
      	`uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("Waiting for data from sequencer"), UVM_MEDIUM)
      	seq_item_port.get_next_item(req);
      
      	`uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("Start driving tx addr=0x%0h data=0x%0h", req.addr, req.data), UVM_MEDIUM)
      	#20;  // 2.假设driver把接收到的数据包发给dut需要20ns
      
      	// 3. driver 调用 item_done() 让 sequencer 知道 driver 发送完 item
     	`uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("Finish driving tx addr=0x%0h data=0x%0h", req.addr, req.data), UVM_MEDIUM)
     	seq_item_port.item_done();   // driver完成对item的处理
   endtask
   
endclass

// sequence
class my_sequence extends uvm_sequence #(my_data);  // my_sequence被参数化为仅接受“my_data”类型的对象
	`uvm_object_utils (my_sequence)
	
  	virtual task body();
  		// 1. 在 sequence body 中实例化item: create item 
  		my_data tx = my_data::type_id::create("tx");
	   	`uvm_info ("SEQ", $sformatf("About to call start_item"), UVM_MEDIUM)
    
    	// 2. 调用 start_item() ，将这个 item 发送给 driver 
    	start_item(tx);
    	`uvm_info ("SEQ", $sformatf("start_item() fn call done"), UVM_MEDIUM)
    
    	// 3. 因为传递给driver的类句柄指向同一个对象，可以先create再随机? 后随机
    	tx.randomize();
    	`uvm_info ("SEQ", $sformatf("tx randomized with addr=0x%0h data=0x%0h", tx.addr, tx.data), UVM_MEDIUM)
    
    	// 4. 调用 finish_item ，以便sequence等待，直到驱driver让sequencer知道该item已完成
    	finish_item(tx);
    	`uvm_info ("SEQ", $sformatf("finish_item() fn call done"), UVM_MEDIUM)
  	endtask
  
endclass

Driver 和 Sequencer 应该在 agent 实例化，agent 在 env 中实例化，env 在 test 中实例化

// test

class base_test extends uvm_test;

  	my_driver                	m_drv0;
  	uvm_sequencer #(my_data) 	m_seqr0;  // sequencer 被参数化为仅接受“my_data”类型的对象
  	my_sequence   				m_seq;

	// 在 build_phase 用 create 实例化 sequencer/driver 组件
  	virtual function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
     	super.build_phase(phase);
     	m_drv0 = my_driver::type_id::create ("m_drv0", this);
     	m_seqr0 = uvm_sequencer#(my_data)::type_id::create ("m_seqr0", this);
  	endfunction
  
   	// 在 connect_phase 连接 driver 的 port(seq_item_port) 到 sequencer 的 export(seq_item_export)
   	virtual function void connect_phase (uvm_phase phase);
     	super.connect_phase (phase);
     	m_drv0.seq_item_port.connect (m_seqr0.seq_item_export);
   	endfunction

	// 在run_phase中实例化sequence;  在sequencer上启动sequence
  	virtual task run_phase(uvm_phase phase);
    	m_seq = my_sequence::type_id::create("m_seq");   // 实例化sequence
    	phase.raise_objection(this);
    	m_seq.start(m_seqr0);  // 在sequencer上启动sequence
    	phase.drop_objection(this);
  	endtask
endclass

driver 和 sequencer 握手机制二： get() and put()：

// transaction item 

class my_data extends uvm_sequence_item;

      super.run_phase(phase);
      
      // 1.driver 使用get从sequencer拿到item，req是uvm_driver类的pre-defined变量
      `uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("Waiting for data from sequencer"), UVM_MEDIUM)
      seq_item_port.get(req);
      
      // 2.假设的driver处理该item需要10ns
      uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("Start driving tx addr=0x%0h data=0x%0h", req.addr, req.data), UVM_MEDIUM)
      #20;
      
      // 3. 假设 DUT 将一些读取数据返回给driver，这些数据需要发送回到sequence。 请注意，读取的数据被放入相同的request的对象句柄中
      `uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("#20 delay over, curr data=0x%0h", req.data), UVM_MEDIUM)
      req.data = 8'hAA;  // 假设driver从dut拿到的响应数据是8'hAA
      
      // 4. driver调用put，并将响应数据发送回sequencer
      `uvm_info ("DRIVER", $sformatf ("About to call put() with new data=0x%0h", req.data), UVM_MEDIUM)
      seq_item_port.put(req);   // driver发回响应数据给sequencer

driver seq_item_port TLM端口：

• seq_item_port.get(req)
• seq_item_port.put(req)

• seq_item_port.get_next_item(req)
• seq_item_port.item_done()

• 一个 seq_item_port 只能 connect 一个 seq_item_export
• 可以在一个 driver 中用数组的形式定义多个 uvm_seq_item_pull_port，用来连接多个 sequencer

get()和get_next_item()的区别在于get()中调用了item_done()函数，所以可以发现在上面的代码中，get到了transaction后并没有item_done()操作
