ALERT_ESC UVM Agent is extended from DV library agent classes.
This agent implements both alert(alert_rx, alert_tx) and escalation (esc_rx, esc_tx) interface protocols, and can be configured to behave in both host and device modes. For design documentation, please refer to [alert_handler spec]({{< relref “hw/top_earlgrey/ip_autogen/alert_handler/doc/_index.md” >}}).
Alert agent supports both synchronous and asynchronous modes.
For IPs that send out alerts, it is recommended to attach alert device agents to the block level testbench. Please refer to [cip_lib documentation]({{< relref “hw/dv/sv/cip_lib/doc/index.md” >}}) regarding instructions to configure alert device agent in DV testbenches.
