# Custom Task Diagnosis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This note records why the original custom-task experiment should not be used as
|
||
|
|
direct CGA evidence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Current failure causes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `i2c_controller`
|
||
|
|
- The original DUT references `scl_in` without defining it.
|
||
|
|
- CGA baseline already fails at Verilator compile, so `coverage = 0.0` is not
|
||
|
|
evidence about branch reachability.
|
||
|
|
- The original testbench is stimulus-only and does not provide a clear pass/fail
|
||
|
|
contract or a slave-side bus model.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `spi_controller`
|
||
|
|
- The original DUT leaves `spi_clk` effectively disconnected from observable
|
||
|
|
transaction progress.
|
||
|
|
- The original `ERROR/mode_fault` path is not meaningfully driven.
|
||
|
|
- The pipeline spends most of its time in `TBcheck -> reboot`, so the run is
|
||
|
|
dominated by unstable generated TB quality rather than CGA coverage search.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Clean-data policy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Keep the original `data/myproject/combined.jsonl` as the historical failure case.
|
||
|
|
- Use `data/myproject/combined_clean.jsonl` with:
|
||
|
|
- compileable DUTs,
|
||
|
|
- self-checking golden testbenches,
|
||
|
|
- descriptions that match the actual reachable protocol behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Paper usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Use the original custom-task run as a "task definition not yet valid" failure mode.
|
||
|
|
- Use the clean custom tasks only for:
|
||
|
|
- structural coverage comparison,
|
||
|
|
- CGA iteration case studies,
|
||
|
|
- qualitative discussion of protocol-style controllers.
