AMBA AXI4-Stream Interconnect Verification IP

Overview

AMBA AXI4-Stream Interconnect Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI4-Stream component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's AMBA AXI4-Stream Interconnect Verification IP is fully compliant with standard AMBA AXI4-Stream Specification.

AMBA AXI4-Stream Interconnect Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

AMBA AXI4-Stream Interconnect Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

Key Features

  • Compliant with the latest ARM AMBA AXI4-Stream Protocol Specification.
  • Supports AXI4-Stream Master, Slave, Interconnect, Monitor and Checker.
  • Supports all ARM AMBA AXI4-Stream data widths.
  • Support for all Data streams including Byte stream, Continuous aligned stream, Continuous unaligned stream and Sparse stream.
  • Support for single byte, packet and frame transfers.
  • Transfer interleaving support.
  • Support for upsizing, downsizing and merging.
  • Supports constrained randomization of protocol attributes.
  • Slave and Interconnect support fine grain control of response.
