A slave BFM has configuration fields that you can set with the

set_config()

function to

configure timeout factors, setup and hold times, and so on. You can also get the value of a
configuration field via the

get_config()

function.

Table 4-2

describes the full list of configuration fields.

WRITE_ACCEPTANCE_
CAPABILITY

The maximum number of outstanding write transactions
that can be accepted by the slave BFM. This parameter is
set with the Qsys Parameter Editor. See “

Running the

Qsys Tool

” on page 356. for details.

Default: 16.

COMBINED_ACCEPTANCE_
CAPABILITY

The maximum number of outstanding combined read and
write transactions that can be accepted by the slave BFM.
This parameter is set with the Qsys Parameter Editor. See

Running the Qsys Tool

” on page 356. for details.

Default: 16.
