Process

Phone Screen. Followed by another phone screen and an on-site interview.

The on-site interview will have close to 7 to 8 rounds covering various aspects ranging from Design, assertions, coverage, randomization, UVM, and algorithms.

Questions

  1. Interrupt mask register (10 bits) - Each bit corresponds to 1 interrupt Interrupt log register (10 bits) - Each bit corresponds to 1 interrupt

The interrupt mask register masks the interrupt from reaching the output pin. This means the output pin shows 0, although there's an interrupt. The interrupt log register logs the presence of an interrupt, but the moment you perform a read, the interrupt log register bit goes to 0.

Best strategy to verify?

Settypeoverride - how do you use it?

Memory - 4-byte accessible. Constraint randomize and select one random memory address.

How do you debug configdb errors? - Py printing out the database contents.

Is it advisable to raise objections in UVMMONITOR? If the answer is no, why not?
