This repository is owned by the Accellera Systems Initiative and is maintained by the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) Working Group (UVM WG) according to the Accellera Policies and Procedures.
Contributions to this reference implementation can only be accepted from Accellera members.
If you would like to contribute to the development of UVM and/or this reference implementation, have your company, organization, or university join Accellera and its working groups. Find out more information at http://www.accellera.org/about/join. If your company, organization or university is already an Accellera member, you can request to join the UVM Working Group here.
If you are not an Accellera member, please join the UVM community forum to provide feedback and join the general discussion around the evolution of UVM.
The UVM Community may report functional or efficiency bugs via the Issue Tracker.
A functional bug refers to an issue in the reference implementation wherein the behavior or functionality deviates from the 1800.2 standard, and that deviation is not explicitly called out in DEVIATIONS.md.
On the other hand, an efficiency bug, also known as a performance bug, refers to an issue in the reference implementation that affects its overall efficiency or resource utilization. An efficiency bug may cause the implementation to consume excessive memory, take longer to execute, or use more CPU resources than necessary.
The Issue Tracker is only used to track functional and efficiency bugs reported by the UVM community. All Issue Tracker requests for functional enhancements or new features will be rejected. If you'd like to contribute a functional enhancement or new feature, please contact a member of the UVM WG, or better yet please consider becoming an Accellera Member and joining the UVM WG!
UVM WG members have access to the WG-internal issue tracking at MantisHub. Issues tracked via MantisHub may include functional and efficiency bugs as well as new feature requests.
When reporting bugs, please specify the following information (if applicable):
- UVM Version
- Platform, Compiler, Simulator, Flags
- Description of the problem
- Steps to reproduce the problem, preferably a small code sample to demonstrate.
- Compile/runtime warnings and errors
Note All bugs will only be tested against the latest publicly available version of the product.
Note All C++ compilers and SystemVerilog simulators have bugs of different degrees of severity. We cannot fix those bugs. Please report them to the appropriate vendor.
The following sign-off procedure is established to ensure that patches submitted for inclusion into this Accellera reference implementation are properly licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch (or commit message), which certifies that you wrote it yourself or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch:
By making a signed-off contribution to this Accellera project, I certify that:
-
The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the Apache License Version 2.0 (see LICENSE).
-
The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (1) above, and I am forwarding it without modification.
-
I understand and agree that this Accellera project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed in accordance with this project or the Apache License Version 2.0.
If you can certify the above Accellera Developer's Certificate of Origin,
please use git commit --signoff to add a line of the form:
Signed-off-by: Ima Contributor <ima@contributor.example.org>
using your real name (no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions).
Note
For Accellera members, contributions are already bound by the Accellera policies and procedures and the sign-off is optional, but recommended. For non-Accellera members, the sign-off is mandatory for consideration by the Accellera WGs.
When submitting a pull-request against the public repository, the
contribution may be considered by the Accellera WGs for inclusion.
An Accellera member may submit it to the private repository with their
own Signed-off-by line appended. It stays under the sole governance
of the corresponding WGs to decide whether the proposal will be included
in the reference implementation (or future Accellera standards).
The central source code repository of the Accellera UVM implementation
is hosted in two repositories at GitHub. The main
repositories are private to the OSCI-WG GitHub organization and
can be found at:
- https://github.com/OSCI-WG/uvm-core (core UVM library)
- https://github.com/OSCI-WG/uvm-tests (regression test suite)
A read-only, public version of these repositories can be found at
- https://github.com/accellera-official/uvm-core (core UVM library)
- https://github.com/accellera-official/uvm-tests (regression test suite)
To obtain access to the repositories and the GitHub organization in general, UVM members can contact the UVM chairs at mailto:uvm-chair@lists.accellera.org including their GitHub account name.
