Introduction

In order to learn and consolidate this knowledge to anyone that want it, I'm doing this Hands-on that will follow my steps to build an UVM ambient from scratch using RAL. The DUT in this case will be a Call of Cthulhu Life and Sanity Manager (I like RPG thematic and studying things with something that I like motivate me to go on). Below is the final UVM diagram for the environment. Our goal is to implement each part and run it to see things happening.

Basically, this hands-on will be divided into some pages:

• Register Blocks will tell more about the register bank in this case and how to model it using the RAL components;

• Adapter will tell more about how the RAL transactions communicate with Interface transactions;

• Agent will teach which RAL components must be inserted in agent;

• Predictor will tell more about the function of the predictor;

• Env will teach which RAL components must be inserted in Environment;

• Take a Breath is a section that will show the other UVM components that are not part of the RAL, it is a optional section just to make a pause showing new stuffs

• Register sequence will detail what happens in the sequence file using RAL

• Test will teach how to insert the register block at Test and connect to the other RAL components

• Results will show the ambient execution

• Source code will keep all the code developed during the hands-on.

Obs: I'm not a RAL expert, this hands-on was developed during my RAL studying. So, feel free to report any mistake!
