The Agent

Okay, focusing in the RAL components that will be in agent, we have basically two main objectives:

1. Instantiate the adapter

2. Build it in build_phase()

This is very simple, the agent with only these two elements:

class cthulhu_agent extends uvm_agent;
	`uvm_component_utils(cthulhu_agent)

	cthulhu_adapter     m_adapter;

	function new(string name, uvm_component parent);
		super.new(name, parent);
	endfunction : new

	virtual function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
		super.build_phase(phase);

		m_adapter = cthulhu_adapter.type_id::create("m_adapter");

	endfunction : build_phase

We can see that it is the same proccess to insert any component in agent. The complete code of agent is located in Source Code page. Now, the ambient is something like this:
