AMBA AXI5 Interconnect Verification IP

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

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

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

• Compliant with the latest ARM AMBA AXI5 Protocol Specification.
• Supports AXI5 Master, Slave, Interconnect, Monitor and Checker.
• Supports all ARM AMBA AXI5 data and address widths.
• Supports all protocol transfer types, burst types, burst lengths, burst sizes and response types.
• Supports constrained randomization of protocol attributes.
• Separate address/control, data and response phases. Separate read and write channels.
• Support for burst-based transactions with only start address issued.
• Slave and Interconnect support fine grain control of response per address or per transaction.
• Programmable wait states or delay insertion on different channels. Interconnect has the ability to replicate Master/Slave inserted delays.
• Ability to inject errors during data transfer.
• Write strobe support to enable sparse data transfer on the write data bus.

• Support for conversion of different protocols and different data width.
• Support for bus inactivity detection and timeout.
• Configurable WID signal enable support.
• Read data interleaving support with programmable interleave depth and programmable interleave size per transaction to allow fixed and variable data interleaving in a transaction.
• Atomic access support with normal access and exclusive access
• Longer bursts up to 256 beats.
