• The ability to run the Code Generator from the EDA Playground website www.edaplayground.com
• The generator can instantiate the Syosil UVM Scoreboard along with reference models
• Supports transaction metadata that is part of the transaction class but is not included in the generated do_compare, do_pack, and do_unpack methods
• Supports a single unpacked array dimension for transaction variables
• Supports a setting to pass arguments to the UVM command line processor

Easier UVM Code Generator Version 2016-01-21 (and later) includes:

• The ability to generate dual top-level modules and split transactors for running on an accelerator/emulator box

Easier UVM Examples Ready-to-Run on EDA Playground

• Minimal example with driver
• Minimal example with coverage in a subscriber as well as driver and monitor.
• Minimal example with register sequence and register block
• Example with four interfaces/agents, two of which use a register model.
• Minimal example with dual-top modules and split transactors
• Minimal example showing a UVM sequence getting information from the config database
• Minimal example showing features of objections and the command line processor
• Minimal example showing the reporting features of UVM.
• Example that drops an objection when coverage exceeds some threshold
• Example that sends a response transaction from the driver back to the uvm_reg_adapter
• Example that uses a frontdoor sequence to pass a response object back to the register sequence that called read/write
• Example of a parameterized interface generated from an Easier UVM interface template file
• Example that pulls in a user-defined parameterized interface
• Example of a reference model with the Syosil scoreboard
