軟件設(shè)計(jì)中，F(xiàn)SM(Finite-State Machine)分為3部分：狀態(tài)（State)，事件（Event)，動作（Action)。

狀態(tài)模式(State Pattern)是行為型(Behavioral)設(shè)計(jì)模式，將軟件主機(jī)端的行為歸類為各個(gè)狀態(tài)，狀態(tài)之間可以互相轉(zhuǎn)化，每種狀態(tài)的行為不相同；統(tǒng)一交給一個(gè)Context類型的模塊負(fù)責(zé)調(diào)度各個(gè)狀態(tài)的跳轉(zhuǎn)；

硬件設(shè)計(jì)中的FSM，不僅是一種電路的描述工具，而且也是一種思想方法；數(shù)字邏輯本質(zhì)上都可以歸一化為FSM；RTL描述FSM可以歸類為常用的幾種方法，通常采用三段式的描述；

在我們的驗(yàn)證環(huán)境中，有時(shí)也需要一個(gè)組件專門負(fù)責(zé)FSM的建模；例如驗(yàn)證USB Device DUT時(shí)，驗(yàn)證環(huán)境需要模擬USB Host的行為；對于USB協(xié)議復(fù)雜的狀態(tài)機(jī)，使用專門的FSM組件模擬，可以減少組件間的耦合；也可以將FSM組件的狀態(tài)賦值到virtual interface上，通過波形協(xié)助debug；

并不是所有DUT模塊中包含F(xiàn)SM，驗(yàn)證環(huán)境中就需要對應(yīng)的FSM建模；RTL的硬件電路是cycle級的時(shí)序電路，采用FSM可以很好的描述算法運(yùn)算；而驗(yàn)證環(huán)境都是事務(wù)級的基于事件的高級抽象模型，是否需要采用FSM根據(jù)驗(yàn)證環(huán)境而定；對于簡單的設(shè)計(jì)，不需要模擬FSM；對于復(fù)雜的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)協(xié)議，VIP中都會采用FSM建模來完成，具有高內(nèi)聚低耦合的好處。

Simple example

本篇對一個(gè)示例，分別使用兩種方式來描述：

一個(gè)簡單的FSM如下，分為4種狀態(tài)；對于狀態(tài)的跳轉(zhuǎn)條件，本篇通過uvm_event類型的事件觸發(fā)，驗(yàn)證環(huán)境中的實(shí)際情況可以是事件，某一個(gè)signal狀態(tài)，或者if的判斷等；不同狀態(tài)下的Action，僅使用一句display代表，驗(yàn)證環(huán)境中的實(shí)際情況可以調(diào)用某一個(gè)task，對signal的驅(qū)動，或者調(diào)用其他組件的API等；僅做結(jié)構(gòu)上的演示；

通過randsequence產(chǎn)生激勵(lì)sequence，遍歷狀態(tài)機(jī)跳轉(zhuǎn)條件；

use task

類state_machine包含四個(gè)狀態(tài)的task；通過request_state_change函數(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)狀態(tài)跳轉(zhuǎn)；每進(jìn)入一個(gè)狀態(tài)，對應(yīng)一個(gè)線程，當(dāng)跳出狀態(tài)時(shí)，注意線程需要disable掉；

采用狀態(tài)模式的設(shè)計(jì)，每個(gè)狀態(tài)繼承于virtual class state，實(shí)現(xiàn)各自的do_something和request_state_change；state_machine通過宏REGISTER_STATE創(chuàng)建各個(gè)state實(shí)例；state_machine中forvever執(zhí)行；狀態(tài)模式和策略模式的實(shí)現(xiàn)類似，都是使用OOP的組合 + 多態(tài)實(shí)現(xiàn)；

note

state_machine中還可以加入reset stop函數(shù)控制FSM的更多行為；封裝更多API供其他模塊調(diào)用；加入assertion做基于cycle的條件判斷；加入covergroup收集功能覆蓋率；
