Monitor Assertions

The monitor BFM performs protocol error checking via built-in assertions.

Note

The built-in BFM assertions are independent of programming language and simulator.

AXI4_CONFIG_MAX_LATENCY_BVALID_
ASSERTION_TO_BREADY

The maximum timeout duration from the
assertion of BVALID to the assertion of
BREADY in clock periods. Default:
10000.

AXI4_CONFIG_MAX_LATENCY_WVALID_
ASSERTION_TO_WREADY

The maximum timeout duration from the
assertion of WVALID to the assertion of
WREADY in clock periods. Default:
10000.

Slave Attributes

AXI4_CONFIG_SLAVE_START_ADDR

Configures the start address map for the
slave.

AXI4_CONFIG_SLAVE_END_ADDR

Configures the end address map for the
slave.

Monitor Attributes

AXI4_CONFIG_AXI4LITE_axi4

Configures the AXI4 monitor BFM to be
AXI4-Lite compatible.
0 = disabled (default)
1 = enabled

Error Detection

AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ALL_ASSERTIONS

Global enable/disable of all assertion
checks in the BFM.
0 = disabled
1 = enabled (default)

AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ASSERTION

Individual enable/disable of assertion
check in the BFM.
0 = disabled
1 = enabled (default)
