Hi Jim, sorry for the late reply (I got no notifications and I dont check here often)
We currently use Gitlab (local) as our main repo and Firmware pipelines. I have it running well, encouraging people to add their testbenches to the pipeline when complete, so that we find broken testbenches sooner rather than 2 years after the fact! It is…[Read more]

std.env.finish(GetAlertCount) ;

Given @Chengshan mentioned Aldec, I thought I would mention that ActiveHDL in batch mode doesnt currently return the value from finish() or stop() or…[Read more]

Hello

Here, I have all testbenches set up running OSVVM all good. But where Im at a little bit of a crossroads is getting opinions on what people use for test orchestration.

Let me give an example. We use ActiveHDL, which I run in batch mode because these tests run as part of CI on gitlab. I have a project with a FIFO that has 3 possible input…[Read more]

Hi Andrea

I am answering as someone in a simular position to you, who now has a good working knowledge of OSVVM and a full AXI4 Verification BFM available to me hand written using my own interfacing around OSVVM features. I have never done any OSVVM training, but I do have a background with some experience of SV and UVM.

1. I cannot comment on…[Read more]
