#count(options = {}) ⇒ Object

This function can be used to generate a clock or some other repeating function that spans accross a range of vectors. The period of each cycle and the duration of the sequence are supplied via the following options:

  • :period_in_cycles

  • :period_in_ns

  • :period_in_us

  • :period_in_ms

  • :duration_in_cycles

  • :duration_in_ns

  • :duration_in_us

  • :duration_in_ms

If multiple definitions for either option are supplied then they will be added together.

Example

# Supply a clock pulse on :pinA for 100ms
$tester.count(:period_in_cycles => 10, :duration_in_ms => 100) do
    $top.pin(:pinA).drive!(1)
    $top.pin(:pinA).drive!(0)
end

#delay(cycles, options = {}) ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

This should not be called directly, call via tester#wait

#min_period_timeset ⇒ Object

Returns the timeset (a Timeset object) with the shortest period that has been encountered so far in the course of generating the current pattern.

A tester object is re-instantiated at the start of every pattern which will reset this variable.

#set_timeset(timeset, period_in_ns = nil, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: with_timeset

Set the timeset for the next vectors, this will remain in place until the next time this is called.

$tester.set_timeset("bist_25mhz", 40)

This method also accepts a block in which case the contained vectors will generate with the supplied timeset and subsequent vectors will return to the previous timeset automatically.

$tester.set_timeset("bist_25mhz", 40) do
  $tester.cycle
end

The arguments can also be supplied as a single array, or not at all. In the latter case the existing timeset will simply be preserved. This is useful if you have timesets that can be conditionally set based on the target.

# Target 1
$soc.readout_timeset = ["readout", 120]
# Target 2
$soc.readout_timeset = false

# This code is compatible with both targets, in the first case the timeset will switch
# over, in the second case the existing timeset will be preserved.
$tester.set_timeset($soc.readout_timeset) do
  $tester.cycle
end

#timing_toggled_pins ⇒ Object

When period levelling is enabled, vectors will be expanded like this:

$tester.set_timeset("fast", 40)
2.cycles                        #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
# Without levelling enabled
$tester.set_timeset("slow", 80)
2.cycles                        #    slow   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    slow   1 0 0 1 0
# With levelling enabled
$tester.set_timeset("slow", 80)
2.cycles                        #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   1 0 0 1 0

The overall time of the levelled/expanded vectors matches that of the unlevelled case. i.e. 4 cycles at fast speed (4 * 40ns = 160ns) is equivalent to 2 cycles at slow speed (2 * 80ns = 160ns).

However, what if pin 1 in the example above was a clk pin where the 1 -> 0 transition was handled by the timing setup for that pin. In that case the levelled code is no longer functionally correct since it contains 4 clock pulses while the unlevelled code only has 2.

Such pins can be specified via this attribute and the levelling logic will then automatically adjust the drive state to keep the number of pulses correct. It would automatically adjust to the alternative logic state where 0 means ‘on’ and 1 means ‘off’ if applicable.

$tester.timing_toggled_pins << $dut.pin(:tclk)  # This is pin 1

$tester.set_timeset("fast", 40)
2.cycles                        #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
# Without levelling enabled
$tester.set_timeset("slow", 80)
2.cycles                        #    slow   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    slow   1 0 0 1 0
# With levelling enabled
$tester.set_timeset("slow", 80)
2.cycles                        #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   0 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   1 0 0 1 0
                                #    fast   0 0 0 1 0

Multiple pins an be specified like this:

$tester.timing_toggled_pins = [$dut.pin(:tclk), $dut.pin(:clk)]   # Overrides any pins added elsewhere
$tester.timing_toggled_pins << [$dut.pin(:tclk), $dut.pin(:clk)]  # In addition to any pins added elsewhere

end

#wait(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Cause the pattern to wait. The following options are available to help you specify the time to wait:

  • :cycles - delays specified in raw cycles, the test model is responsible for translating this into a sequence of valid repeat statements

  • :time_in_ns - time specified in nano-seconds

  • :time_in_us - time specified in micro-seconds

  • :time_in_ms - time specified in milli-seconds

  • :time_in_s - time specified in seconds

If more than one option is supplied they will get added together to give a final delay time expressed in cycles.

Examples

$tester.wait(cycles: 100, time_in_ns: 200)   # Wait for 100 cycles + 200ns

This method can also be used to trigger a match loop in which case the supplied time becomes the time out for the match. See the J750#match method for full details of the available options.

$tester.wait(match: true, state: :high, pin: $dut.pin(:done), time_in_ms: 500)
