| # ALERT_ESC Agent |
| |
| ALERT_ESC UVM Agent is extended from DV library agent classes. |
| |
| ## Description |
| |
| 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/ip/alert_handler/doc/_index.md" >}}). |
| |
| ### Alert Agent |
| |
| Alert agent supports both synchronous and asynchronous modes. |
| |
| #### Alert Device Agent |
| |
| 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. |
