Question

I’d like to apply a command line override to an ovm_sequence object like this:

+ovm_set_config_int=*,max_timeout,100000

The max_timeout field is declared inside ovm_sequence_utils macro.

Is there any way to do it? My understanding is that ovm sequences are not part of the ovm hierarchy, so perhaps they can’t be modified from the command line.

Answer 1

I got it working (following instructions from http://www.testbench.in/OT_10_OVM_SEQUENCE_5.html) by adding the following to my ovm_sequence in task body():

if(!(p_sequencer.get_config_int("max_timeout",max_timeout)))
  max_timeout = ... // some default value

The key here is that the command line config needs to be set for the sequencer, and the sequence can pick up that config using the above-mentioned code.
