UVM中的TLM1端口,第一类是用于uvm_driver 和uvm_sequencer连接端口,第二类是用于其他component之间连接的端口,如uvm_monitor和uvm_scoreboard。首先让我们看第二类。首先来看uvm_analysis_port。

// Title: Analysis Ports

//
// This section defines the port, export, and imp classes used for transaction
// analysis.
//
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Class: uvm_analysis_port
//
// Broadcasts a value to all subscribers implementing a <uvm_analysis_imp>.

end
endfunction endclass //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Class: uvm_analysis_imp
//
// Receives all transactions broadcasted by a <uvm_analysis_port>. It serves as
// the termination point of an analysis port/export/imp connection. The component
// attached to the ~imp~ class--called a ~subscriber~-- implements the analysis
// interface.
//
// Will invoke the ~write(T)~ method in the parent component.
// The implementation of the ~write(T)~ method must not modify
// the value passed to it.

//| class sb extends uvm_component;
//| uvm_analysis_imp#(trans, sb) ap;
//|
//| function new(string name = "sb", uvm_component parent = null);

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ class uvm_analysis_imp #(type T=int, type IMP=int)
extends uvm_port_base #(uvm_tlm_if_base #(T,T));
`UVM_IMP_COMMON(`UVM_TLM_ANALYSIS_MASK,"uvm_analysis_imp",IMP)
function void write (input T t);
m_imp.write (t);
endfunction
endclass //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Class: uvm_analysis_export
//
// Exports a lower-level <uvm_analysis_imp> to its parent.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ class uvm_analysis_export #(type T=int)
extends uvm_port_base #(uvm_tlm_if_base #(T,T)); // Function: new
// Instantiate the export.
function new (string name, uvm_component parent = null);
super.new (name, parent, UVM_EXPORT, , UVM_UNBOUNDED_CONNECTIONS);
m_if_mask = `UVM_TLM_ANALYSIS_MASK;
endfunction virtual function string get_type_name();
return "uvm_analysis_export";
endfunction // analysis port differs from other ports in that it broadcasts
// to all connected interfaces. Ports only send to the interface
// at the index specified in a call to set_if (0 by default).
function void write (input T t);
uvm_tlm_if_base #(T, T) tif;
for (int i = ; i < this.size(); i++) begin
tif = this.get_if (i);
if (tif == null)
uvm_report_fatal ("NTCONN", {"No uvm_tlm interface is connected to ", get_full_name(), " for executing write()"}, UVM_NONE);
tif.write (t);
end
endfunction endclass
我们可以看到所有的类都是继承自uvm_port_base #(uvm_tlm_if_base #(T,T))。uvm_analysis_imp其实更像一个普通的imp,它不具备有任何analysis的性质,即不具备任何广播的性质。对于uvm_analysis_port 和uvm_analysis_export 只能是analysis_imp.
