UVM Sequence Tree

The UVM Sequence Tree View presents the call tree of an UVM sequence. The call tree is made of all sub-sequences that are triggered by the sequence, recursively down to leaf sequence items.

To select a sequence and inspect its call tree, position the cursor on the UVM sequence class name in the editor and:

  • press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S

  • or right click and choose Show > UVM Sequence Tree from the menu.

The UVM Sequence Tree view is automatically raised and populated with the call tree of the selected sequence.

At any time you can open the view from Window > Show View > Other… > DVT > UVM Sequence Tree.

Prepend Package Name

Prepend the enclosing package name to the name of each class.

The view label shows the current project and the sequence for which the call tree is presented.

The sequence call tree has the following node types:

../../_images/sequence_obj.png

A class that inherits from uvm_sequence. A sub-sequence may be called from an `uvm_do macro or started using the seq.start() function.
../../_images/sequence_item_obj.png

A class that inherits from uvm_sequence_item.
../../_images/fork_join_obj.png

A fork/join block in the sequence body().
../../_images/fork_join_process_obj.png

A process from a fork/join block.
