• \section intro_sec Introduction
• This is an AXI testbench. It uses UVM so unfortunately iverilog isn't sufficient. (I hope this changes soon.)
• • Dual-top testbench
• • Slave responder, no BFM (currently)
• • Supports AXI3 and AXI4
• • Supports all AXI data widths (8,16,32,64,128,256,512 and 1024)
• • Supports 32-bit and 64-bit address widths
• • Supports full and partial transfers.
• • Supports aligned and unaligned transfers.
• • Supports Fixed, Incrementing and Wrapped transfers.
• • Supports toggling *ready and *valid. Including AXI-incompatibly mode which randomly asserts and deasserts valid before ready asserts.
• • Fixed burst_type must be aligned. Unaligned Fixed transfers are not supported.
• • Testbench side is event driven. No #'delays, no @clock, etc
• • Emulator friendly (TB side is event driven. no @clock or # delays)
• • Pipelined AXI driver
• • back to back transfers with 0 in-between wait clocks.
• • Polymorphic interface
• • params_pkg.sv contains all dut parameters
• • A master driver - acts as an AXI master
• • A slave driver - acts as an AXI slave
• • Coverage collector
• • Scoreboard (counts address packets and response packets)
• Good whitepaper on slave sequences:

• Parallel/pipelined driver:

• Monitors
• https://verificationacademy.com/verification-horizons/june-2013-volume-9-issue-2/Monitors-Monitors-Everywhere-Who-Is-Monitoring-the-Monitors
• verification plan (put in seperate doc):
• • For each supported data width:
• • check all 3 burst_types(e_FIXED, e_INCR, e_WRAP)
• • all possible burst_sizes (including invalid, make sure they fail)
• • all possible lens (only have a couple coverbins though,or any cross will be too large.)

• •   min (1),  max, everything in-between ?
    

• • stable *ready
• • toggling *ready
• • stable *valid
• • toggling *valid
• • AXI-incompabible *valid toggling (valid deasserts before ready asserts)
• • back-to-back bursts (aw,w,b,ar,r)
• • one clock delay between bursts (aw,w,b,ar,r)
• • serial mode (aw, then w, then b, repeat) (ar, then r, repeat)
• • pipelined (multiple aw, then multiple w, then multiple b, repeat) (multiple ar,then multiple r,repeat)
