Automated Access Backdoor for UVM_REG Layer
Abstract: Systems on chips (SoCs) design have many configuration registers. Configuring the registers through a Bus protocol consumes lot of simulation time. Hence, time saving becomes a challenge in configuring the registers. The other way to configure registers is backdoor access. Backdoor is a zero simulation time access by mapping to the register directly using the hierarchical path. It allows rapid configuration of registers and can uncover hidden bugs as execution …
