AMBA AXI5 Assertion IP

AMBA AXI5 Assertion IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI5 component of a SOC or a ASIC.

Overview

AMBA AXI5 Assertion IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI5 component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's AMBA AXI5 Assertion IP is fully compliant with standard AMBA AXI5 Specification and provides the following features.

AMBA AXI5 Assertion IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

AMBA AXI5 Assertion IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
