User Guide
You can suppress the display of certain message types. The default values
determining whether a message type is displayed are defined in
Table 17–36 . To
change the default message display, modify the display default value with a
procedure call to
ebfm_log_set_suppressed_msg_mask .
Certain message types also stop simulation after the message is displayed.
Table 17–36 shows the default value determining whether a message type stops
simulation. You can specify whether simulation stops for particular messages with the
procedure
ebfm_log_set_stop_on_msg_mask .
All of these log message constants type integer .

Specifies a recoverable error that
allows simulation to continue. Use
this error for data miscompares.
4 Yes No ERROR:
EBFM_MSG_ERROR_FATAL

EBFM_MSG_ERROR_FATAL_TB_ERR
Used for BFM test driver or Root
Port BFM fatal errors. Specifies an
error that stops simulation because
the error leaves the testbench in a
state where further simulation is
not possible. Use this error
message for errors that occur due
to a problem in the BFM test driver
module or the Root Port BFM, that
are not caused by the Endpoint
Application Layer being tested.
