Burst Attributes

Linewrap burst

On

On/Off

When On, the address for bursts wraps instead of an
incrementing. With a wrapping burst, when the address reaches
a burst boundary, it wraps back to the previous burst boundary
such that only the low order bits need to be used for
addressing.

Burst on burst boundaries only

On

On/Off

When On, memory bursts are aligned to the address size.

Miscellaneous

Read response timeout (cycles)

100

Specifies when a timeout occurs if

readdatavalid

is not

asserted.

Avalon write timeout (cycles)

100

Specifies when a timeout occurs if a burst write transfer has not
completed.

Waitrequest timeout (cycles)

1024

Timeout period for the continuous assertion of

waitrequest

.

Maximum pending reads

1

Specifies the maximum number of pipelined reads that can be
pending.

Fixed read latency (cycles)

0

Sets the read latency for fixed-latency slaves. Not used on
interfaces that include the

readdatavalid

signal.

Maximum read latency (cycles)

100

Specifies the maximum read latency in cycle for test coverage
function

Maximum waitrequest read cycles
(for coverage)

100

Specifies the maximum wait time allowed for read cycle for
coverage.

Maximum waitrequest write cycles
(for coverage)

100

Maximum wait time allowed for write cycle for coverage.

Maximum continuous read (cycles)

5

Maximum continuous read time allowed for coverage.

Maximum continuous write
(cycles)

5

Maximum continuous write time allowed for coverage.

Maximum continuous waitrequest
(cycles)

5

Maximum continuous wait request time allowed for coverage.

Maximum continuous
readdatavalid (cycles)

5

Maximum continuous readdatavalid time allowed for coverage.

Timing

Fixed read wait time (cycles)

1

For master interfaces that do not use the

waitrequest

signal,

the read wait time indicates the number of cycles before the
master responds to a read. The timing is as if the master
asserted

waitrequest

for this number of cycles.

Fixed write wait time (cycles)

0

For master interfaces that do not use the

waitrequest

signal,

the write wait time indicates the number of cycles before the
master accepts a write.

Registered waitrequest

Off

On/Off

Specifies whether to turn on the register stage.

Registered Incoming Signals

Off

On/Off

Specifies whether to register incoming signals.
