    Functional Coverage Commands in Questasim

    Uploaded by

    Sivaprasad Godugunuri
    Functional coverage in SystemVerilog allows designers to measure the percentage of scenarios covered during simulation using covergroups, coverpoints, and crosses. Covergroups are configured from the command line using the change command. Coverage is computed using built-in methods like get_coverage() and get_inst_coverage() applied at different scopes, and the overall coverage is calculated using the $get_coverage() system function as a weighted average of individual covergroup coverage values.

    Verification with Functional Coverage

    SystemVerilog Functional Coverage Flow

    ‘ coverage report’, and/or save off coverage to the Unified Coverage DataBase (UCDB) with the
    ‘coverage save’ command. The UCDB can then be used for reporting, merging, ranking, or other
    types of verification analysis.

    Configuring Covergroups, Coverpoints, and Crosses


    To set values for these variables from the Questa SIM command line interface or a .do file, use
    the change command. For example:
    change covervar.type_option.weight 20

    a type_option is not accessible with the type name and "::" in the command line interface.

    Functional Coverage Computation


    Predefined Coverage Methods
    The SystemVerilog LRM defines two built-in methods (get_coverage() and get_inst_coverage()),
    applied at the the covergroup, coverpoint, and cross scope.
    Predefined Coverage System Function
    the $get_coverage() built-in system function as "the overall coverage of all coverage group
    types.
    Numerator = sum over all covergroup types of ( type::get_coverage() value *
    type::type_option.weight )
    Denominator = sum over all covergroup types of ( type::type_option.weight )
