###################################### Coverage Import (cocotb and AVL) ###################################### PyUCIS provides built-in support for importing functional coverage data from **cocotb-coverage** and **AVL (Apheleia Verification Library)** frameworks, enabling seamless integration of Python-based verification results into the UCIS ecosystem. Overview ======== The coverage import features support: * **cocotb-coverage**: XML and YAML export formats * **AVL (Apheleia Verification Library)**: JSON export formats (3 variations) * **Automatic Format Detection**: Intelligently detects input format * **Full Coverage Hierarchy**: Covergroups, coverpoints, crosses, and bins * **Output Formats**: Convert to XML, SQLite, YAML, or any UCIS format * **Hit Count Preservation**: Maintains bin hit counts from source data Supported Frameworks ==================== cocotb-coverage --------------- cocotb-coverage is a functional coverage library for cocotb (Python-based testbenches). **Formats Supported:** * **XML Format**: Hierarchical tree structure with nested elements * **YAML Format**: Flat dictionary with dot-separated keys Both formats produce identical UCIS databases (validated by equivalence tests). **Website**: https://github.com/mciepluc/cocotb-coverage AVL (Apheleia Verification Library) ------------------------------------ AVL is a Python verification framework focused on functional coverage. **Formats Supported:** * **Hierarchical JSON**: Nested covergroups/coverpoints structure * **DataFrame Records**: List of coverage records (pandas export) * **DataFrame Table**: Indexed coverage table (pandas export) All three JSON variations are automatically detected and imported. **Website**: https://github.com/projectapheleia/avl Coverage Types Supported ========================= Functional Coverage (Full Support) ----------------------------------- * **Covergroups**: Coverage groups with complete hierarchy * **Coverpoints**: Individual coverage points within groups * **Cross Coverage**: Cross product of multiple coverpoints * **Bins**: Coverage bins with hit counts and thresholds Quick Start =========== Command Line (CLI) ------------------ The fastest way to import coverage using the CLI: .. code-block:: bash # Import cocotb XML and convert to UCIS XML pyucis convert --input-format cocotb-xml coverage.xml --output-format xml --out output.xml # Import cocotb YAML and convert to UCIS YAML pyucis convert --input-format cocotb-yaml coverage.yml --output-format yaml --out output.yml # Import AVL JSON and convert to UCIS XML pyucis convert --input-format avl-json coverage.json --output-format xml --out output.xml # Merge multiple cocotb files pyucis merge --input-format cocotb-xml run1.xml run2.xml run3.xml --output-format xml --out merged.xml Automatic Import (Recommended) ------------------------------- The simplest way to import coverage is using automatic format detection: .. code-block:: python from ucis.format_detection import read_coverage_file # Automatically detects and imports any supported format db = read_coverage_file('coverage.xml') # cocotb XML db = read_coverage_file('coverage.yml') # cocotb YAML db = read_coverage_file('coverage.json') # AVL JSON Import Specific Formats ------------------------ You can also import specific formats explicitly: .. code-block:: python from ucis.cocotb import read_cocotb_xml, read_cocotb_yaml from ucis.avl import read_avl_json # Import cocotb XML db = read_cocotb_xml('coverage.xml') # Import cocotb YAML db = read_cocotb_yaml('coverage.yml') # Import AVL JSON (any variation) db = read_avl_json('coverage.json') Export to Other Formats ------------------------ Once imported, you can export to any UCIS format: .. code-block:: python from ucis.format_detection import read_coverage_file from ucis.sqlite.sqlite_ucis import SqliteUCIS # Import cocotb coverage db = read_coverage_file('cocotb_coverage.xml') # Export to SQLite db_sqlite = SqliteUCIS('coverage.ucisdb') # (Note: Full import/export workflow depends on PyUCIS backend capabilities) cocotb-coverage Integration ============================ Generating cocotb Coverage --------------------------- Use cocotb-coverage in your testbench: .. code-block:: python from cocotb_coverage.coverage import CoverPoint, CoverGroup import cocotb # Define coverage @CoverGroup class MyCoverage: @CoverPoint("addr", bins=[(0, 31), (32, 63), (64, 127)]) def addr_range(self): pass @cocotb.test() async def my_test(dut): cov = MyCoverage() # ... run test and sample coverage cov.addr_range.sample(dut.addr.value) # At end of simulation, export coverage from cocotb_coverage.coverage import coverage_db coverage_db.export_to_xml("coverage.xml") coverage_db.export_to_yaml("coverage.yml") Importing into PyUCIS --------------------- .. code-block:: python from ucis.format_detection import read_coverage_file # Import cocotb XML db = read_coverage_file('coverage.xml') # Analyze coverage from ucis.scope_type_t import ScopeTypeT def count_coverpoints(scope): count = 0 if scope.getScopeType() == ScopeTypeT.COVERPOINT: count += 1 for child in scope.scopes(-1): count += count_coverpoints(child) return count print(f"Total coverpoints: {count_coverpoints(db)}") File Format Details ------------------- **cocotb XML Format:** .. code-block:: xml **cocotb YAML Format:** .. code-block:: yaml top.test.my_cg.addr_cp: at_least: 1 bins:_hits: low: 13 mid: 8 cover_percentage: 100.0 weight: 1 AVL Integration =============== Generating AVL Coverage ----------------------- Use AVL in your Python testbench: .. code-block:: python from avl.coverage import CoverPoint, CoverGroup import pandas as pd # Define coverage cg = CoverGroup("address_coverage") cp = CoverPoint("addr_range", bins={"low": (0, 31), "high": (32, 63)}) cg.add_coverpoint(cp) # Sample coverage for addr in test_addresses: cp.sample(addr) # Export coverage cg.export_json("coverage.json") # Hierarchical format cg.export_dataframe("coverage_df.json") # DataFrame format Importing into PyUCIS --------------------- .. code-block:: python from ucis.avl import read_avl_json # Import AVL JSON (any variation) db = read_avl_json('coverage.json') # Access coverage data from ucis.scope_type_t import ScopeTypeT def print_bins(scope, indent=0): scope_type = scope.getScopeType() if scope_type in [ScopeTypeT.COVERPOINT, ScopeTypeT.CROSS]: bins = list(scope.coverItems(-1)) print(f"{' '*indent}{scope.getScopeName()}: {len(bins)} bins") for bin_item in bins[:3]: name = bin_item.getName() hits = bin_item.getCoverData().data print(f"{' '*(indent+2)}- {name}: {hits} hits") for child in scope.scopes(-1): print_bins(child, indent + 2) print_bins(db) File Format Details ------------------- **AVL Hierarchical JSON:** .. code-block:: json { "metadata": { "generator": "AVL", "version": "0.5.0" }, "functional_coverage": { "covergroups": { "address_coverage": { "coverpoints": { "addr_range": { "bins": { "low": {"hits": 45}, "high": {"hits": 22} } } } } } } } **AVL DataFrame Format:** .. code-block:: json [ { "coverpoint_name": "addr_range.low", "bin_name": "low", "hits": 45, "goal": 1, "covered": true }, { "coverpoint_name": "addr_range.high", "bin_name": "high", "hits": 22, "goal": 1, "covered": true } ] Format Detection ================ PyUCIS automatically detects the input format based on file content: .. code-block:: python from ucis.format_detection import detect_format, CoverageFormat # Detect format fmt = detect_format('coverage.xml') if fmt == CoverageFormat.COCOTB_XML: print("cocotb XML format detected") elif fmt == CoverageFormat.COCOTB_YAML: print("cocotb YAML format detected") elif fmt == CoverageFormat.AVL_JSON: print("AVL JSON format detected") else: print("Unknown format") Detection Criteria ------------------ **cocotb XML**: - File extension: ``.xml`` or ``.cov`` - Contains ``abs_name`` and ``cover_percentage`` attributes **cocotb YAML**: - File extension: ``.yml`` or ``.yaml`` - Contains ``bins:_hits`` and ``cover_percentage`` keys **AVL JSON**: - File extension: ``.json`` - Contains ``metadata.generator == "AVL"`` or hierarchical coverage structure - Or contains ``coverpoint_name``/``bin_name`` fields (DataFrame format) Workflow Examples ================= Command Line Workflows ---------------------- **Basic Conversion:** .. code-block:: bash # Import and convert to standard UCIS pyucis convert --input-format cocotb-xml coverage.xml --output-format xml --out ucis.xml pyucis convert --input-format cocotb-yaml coverage.yml --output-format xml --out ucis.xml pyucis convert --input-format avl-json coverage.json --output-format xml --out ucis.xml **Merge Multiple Runs:** .. code-block:: bash #

Troubleshooting =============== Common Issues ------------- **Format not detected automatically** Ensure file has correct extension (``.xml``, ``.yml``, ``.json``) and valid content **Import fails with parsing error** Verify the file was generated by cocotb-coverage or AVL **Empty coverage database** Check that the input file contains coverage data, not just metadata **Missing bins** Use ``coverItems(-1)`` not ``scopes(-1)`` to access bins from coverpoints See Also ======== * :doc:`commands` - PyUCIS command-line interface * :doc:`verilator_coverage_import` - Verilator coverage import * :doc:`reference/html_coverage_report` - HTML report generation * `cocotb-coverage `_ - cocotb coverage library * `AVL `_ - Apheleia Verification Library References ========== * **cocotb**: https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb * **cocotb-coverage**: https://github.com/mciepluc/cocotb-coverage * **AVL**: https://github.com/projectapheleia/avl * **UCIS Specification**: IEEE 1800.2
