Covergroups
Name | Description |
---|---|
control_cg | Covers that all operations READ/PROGRAM/ERASE/UNKNOWN have been tested. Covers that ERASE operation is performed on a page and on entire bank. Covers data and info partitions selection. All valid combinations of the above will also be crossed. |
erase_susp_cg | Covers if request of erase suspension occured. |
eviction_cg | Covers eviction with mp_region_cfgs for data and info regions. Sample all 4 rd_buf status. When each buffer hazard is set, capture the address stored in the buffer. Then search from tb data base to see which region the address belong to. After that record the config value (scrambe_en and ecc_en) of the region. Use cross over buffer index, the operation to cause the eviction and the region config values. |
fetch_code_cg | Covers whether dut received valid or invalid key value from ral.exec register. Cross with tlul.instr_types. |
msgfifo_level_cg | Covers that all possible fifo statuses generate interrupts for operations READ/PROGRAM. Covers both boundary values 0 and 31. Also covers acceptable distributions within ranges. |
rd_buff_evict_cg | Covers that all possible combinations for following sequences of operations READ/PROGRAM/READ and READ/ERASE/READ are executed. Software Interface can perform all three operations READ/PROGRAM/ERASE while Host Interface can perform direct READ. |
regwen_val_when_new_value_written_cg | Cover each lockable reg field with these 2 cases:
This is only applicable if the block contains regwen and locakable CSRs. |
rma_init_cg | Cover rma operation is executed regardless of when flash_init started. flash_ctrl_hw_rma runs rma operation and flash init in parallel thread. In this test, sample rma state when flash init starts. If rma state is StRmaIdle, which means rma is not started. So it confirms rma start after flash init start. If rma state is [StRmaPageSel:StRmaInvalid], which mean rma is on going. So it confirms rma start before flash init start. |
shadow_field_errs_cg | Cover all shadow register errors for each register field. For all register fields within the shadowed register, this coverpoint covers the following errors:
|
sw_error_cg | Covers following error scenarios given in Flash error code register:
|
tl_errors_cg | Cover the following error cases on TL-UL bus:
|
tl_intg_err_cg | Cover all kinds of integrity errors (command, data or both) and cover number of error bits on each integrity check. Cover the kinds of integrity errors with byte enabled write on memory if applicable: Some memories store the integrity values. When there is a subword write, design re-calculate the integrity with full word data and update integrity in the memory. This coverage ensures that memory byte write has been issued and the related design logic has been verfied. |
