The main file in this project is ~custom_report_server.sv~. The rest of the files are from the ~examples/simple/hello_world~ example of UVM 1.2 distribution.

A custom UVM report server with better looking UVM message format, indentation and colorization to highlight warnings and errors.

• Note about running with Cadence Xcelium While the below instructions and screen captures are based on Synopsys VCS simulation, the same work using Cadence Incisive too; just replace ~comp~, ~run~ and ~clean~ targets in the ~make~ command with ~nccomp~, ~ncrun~ and ~ncclean~ respectively.

• Instructions to run with UVM 1.2 (default) and Synopsys VCS

• Download [[http://accellera.org/images/downloads/standards/uvm/uvm-1.2.tar.gz][UVM 1.2 source code]].
• Extract it and ~cd~ to ~uvm-1.2/examples/simple/~ directory
• Do ~git clone https://github.com/kaushalmodi/custom_uvm_report_server.git~
• Ensure that ~vcs~ is available in the shell environment ~$PATH~
• ~cd~ to ~uvm-1.2/examples/simple/custom_uvm_report_server/~ ** Run without the custom report server #+begin_example make clean comp run EXTRA_ARGS=+define+UVM_REPORT_DEFAULT #+end_example ** Run with the custom report server #+begin_example make clean comp run #+end_example ** Result *** Using the default report server [[file:img/compare_1p2_default.png]] *** Using the ~custom_report_server~ [[file:img/compare_1p2_custom.png]]

• Instructions to run with UVM 1.1d and Synopsys VCS

• First follow the steps above for UVM 1.2 download and git clone setup.
• Download [[http://accellera.org/images/downloads/standards/uvm/uvm-1.1d.tar.gz][UVM 1.1d source code]].
• Extract the ~uvm-1.1d/~ directory from it in the same parent directory in which you extracted the ~uvm1.2/~ directory.
• ~cd~ to ~uvm-1.2/examples/simple/custom_uvm_report_server/~ /(Yes, in the ~uvm-1.2/~ dir, it is not a typo.)/ ** Run without the custom report server #+begin_example make clean comp run EXTRA_ARGS=+define+UVM_REPORT_DEFAULT UVM_VERSION=1p1d #+end_example ** Run with the custom report server #+begin_example make clean comp run UVM_VERSION=1p1d #+end_example ** Result *** Using the default report server [[file:img/compare_1p1d_default.png]] *** Using the ~custom_report_server~ [[file:img/compare_1p1d_custom.png]]

• Instructions to run with Mentor Graphics ModelSim/QuestaSim

• Download [[http://accellera.org/images/downloads/standards/uvm/uvm-1.2.tar.gz][UVM 1.2 source code]].
• Extract it and ~cd~ to ~uvm-1.2/examples/simple/~ directory
• Do ~git clone https://github.com/kaushalmodi/custom_uvm_report_server.git~
• ~cd~ to ~custom_uvm_report_server/~
