Coherent model UVM usage

[PaulMSV]

Hello, thanks for this amazing works!

Could you please tell me if there is any documentation or usage examples planned in the near future?
Particularly interesting is the scenario of using the coherence model for the verification purposes and UVM environment integration)

Hi, thanks for your appreciation!

Yes. We are looking to provide some examples and documentations on utilizing this toolset, especially about transaction structure tracing/checking and cache state tracing/checking. We are keen to provide routines for you to get hands on!

But sorry that we are not working on any UVM stuff on roadmap in near future. We prioritize providing support for open-source simulators and environments (Verilator actually), since the UVM stuff would get us stuck to commercial simulators and VIPs. These commercial simulators and VIPs (mainly from Synopsys and Candence) are low on speed and not working perfectly well with our current user's workflows. Still, this toolset could work well with those commercial simulators, but not in form of UVM.

We also has experienced the imperfection on those commercial VIPs, but we were stuck on those UVM blackboxs and never allowed to modify these. Furthermore, to what you know about this works, our current users are trying to get rid of UVM.

We had imagined that implementing a UVM suite with this toolset as its C/C++ kernel, but I'm sorry that I could not make this promise to you.
