AMBA 4 ACE Verification IP

The AMBA® 4 ACE™ Verification IP provides an effective & efficient way to verify the components interfacing with ACE interface of an IP or SoC. The AMBA® 4 ACE™ VIP is fully compliant with ACE specifications from ARM IHI 0022E ID022613. This is a light weight VIP with easy plugand-play interface so that there is no hit on the design cycle time.

• Fully compliant to the AMBA® 4 ACE™ Specification.
• Support for all type of AMBA 4 ACE devices.
• Rich set of configuration parameters to control ACE functionality.
• Parametrized bus width and cache line size.
• Interconnect model ensures that the interaction between all bus components is correct and follows the ACE protocol.
• Response comparison for all response channels.
• Supports optional Snoop Data channel.
• Supports Cache Maintenance transactions.
• Support to configure read/write transaction priority to the same address, issued at the same time.
• Capability of interconnect to modify a transaction.
• Supports sequencing of transactions for transactions occurring at approximately the same time to the same cache line.
• Support for Barrier transactions.
• Configurable modes for Valid and Ready signals on different channels.
• Support for Speculative read.
• Comprehensive Test Suites support constrained randomization and error injection.
• Supports advanced System Verilog features like constrained random testing.
• Supports dynamically configurable modes.
• Strong Protocol Monitor with real time exhaustive programmable checks.
• Supports Dynamic as well as Static Error Injection scenarios.
• On the fly protocol checking using protocol check functions, static and dynamic assertion.
• Built in Extensive Coverage Across the Channels.
