Test: flash_ctrl_rd_ooo

Create ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ read path using scramble enable. Send flash read requst over slow path followed by fast path. While return data comes from fast path first but they are expected to be returned in request order.

`stress_all_with_rand_reset`

Test: flash_ctrl_stress_all_with_rand_reset

This test runs 3 parallel threads - stress_all, tl_errors and random reset. After reset is asserted, the test will read and check all valid CSR registers.

Covergroups

b2b_read_interval_cg

Cover interval profile of back to back read operation. Minimum interval of the back to back read is 1 cycle.

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.

phy_rd_cg

Cover various read sequences on the physical interfaces of each bank. Create bins such as read after read, read after program and read after erase.

regwen_val_when_new_value_written_cg

Cover each lockable reg field with these 2 cases:

When regwen = 1, a different value is written to the lockable CSR field, and a read occurs after that.
When regwen = 0, a different value is written to the lockable CSR field, and a read occurs after that.

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:

Update error
Storage error

sw_error_cg

Covers following error scenarios given in Flash error code register:

op_err: Undefined operation.
mp_err: Flash access has encountered an access permission error.
rd_err: Flash read has an uncorrectable data error.
prog_err: Flash program has an error.
prog_win_err: Flash program has a window resolution error.
prog_type_err: Flash program selected unavailable type.
update_err: A shadow register encountered an update error.

tl_errors_cg

Cover the following error cases on TL-UL bus:

TL-UL protocol error cases.
OpenTitan defined error cases, refer to testpoint tl_d_illegal_access.

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.
