AMBA AXI5-Lite Assertion IP
AMBA AXI5-Lite Assertion IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI5-Lite component of a SOC or a ASIC.
Overview
AMBA AXI5-Lite Assertion IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI5-Lite component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's AMBA AXI5-Lite Assertion IP is fully compliant with standard AMBA AXI5-Lite Specification and provides the following features.
AMBA AXI5-Lite Assertion IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
AMBA AXI5-Lite Assertion IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
