What is the equivalent syntax in Specman E for $readmemh(file,array) and similar system tasks and functions in System verilog?
I am working in converting the existing System verilog code into Specman E ,I have converted and implemented most of the concepts except few system methods like below .Please help me to implement methods like below in Specman E.
$readmemh(file_s,data_2d_i);//For converting SV code into Specman E
In the vr_ad Package there is an equivalent method. Assuming you have a vr_ad_mem object called data_2d_i, you can e.g. call
data_2d_i.readmemh(file_s,0,1000,0,1000);
To read addresses 0..1000 from that file into memory.
Example:
import vr_ad/e/vr_ad_top;
extend sys {
mem: vr_ad_mem;
keep mem.addressing_width_in_bytes == 1;
keep mem.size == 1000;
run() is also {
var data_2d_l: list of byte;
-- read first 16 bytes of mem-file and store the result in a list
mem.readmemh("mem.txt", 0, 15, 0, 15);
data_2d_l = mem.fetch(0, 16);
print data_2d_l;
};
};
