Intro to UVM Registers
Requires Flash Player.
The inclusion of the Register Layer was one of the most requested features of UVM. This session will provide an introduction to the Register Layer and show you how to get started writing tests and sequences and checking results at the register layer. We will also show how to use the UVM Register Layer as a standalone package with OVM2.1.2.
