AMBA AXI4-Lite Interconnect Verification IP

Overview

AMBA AXI4-Lite Interconnect Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI4-Lite component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's AMBA AXI4-Lite Interconnect Verification IP is fully compliant with standard AMBA AXI4-Lite Specification. Our AMBA AXI4-Lite VIP is proved across multiple customers.

AMBA AXI4-Lite 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-Lite 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-Lite Protocol Specification.
  • Supports AXI4-Lite Master, Slave, Interconnect, Monitor and Checker.
  • Supports all ARM AMBA AXI4-Lite data and address widths.
  • Supports all protocol transfer types and response types.
  • Supports constrained randomization of protocol attributes.
  • Separate address/control, data and response phases. Separate read and write channels.
  • 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.
  • Unaligned address access support.
  • Ability to issue multiple outstanding transactions.
  • Out of order transaction completion support.
  • Protected accesses with normal/privileged,secure/non-secure and data/instruction
  • Ability to configure the width of all signals.
  • Support for conversion of different protocols and different data width.
  • Support for bus inactivity detection and timeout.
  • Configurable WID signal enable support.
  • Burst length of 1.
  • Write strobe support.
  • Data bus width of 32-bit or 64-bit.
  • Quality of Service signaling.
  • Multiple region interfaces.
  • User signaling support.
  • Ability to break longer bursts into multiple shorter bursts
  • Supports unmapped region address accesses
  • AWCACHE and ARCACHE Attributes.
  • Low-power Interface support
  • Programmable Timeout insertion.
  • Supports FIFO memory.
  • Rich set of configuration parameters to control AXI4-Lite functionality.
  • On-the-fly protocol and data checking.
  • Notifies the testbench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, timing and protocol violations.
  • Built in coverage analysis.
  • Callbacks in Master, Slave, Interconnect and Monitor for various events.
  • Status counters for various events on bus.
