AXI4 Assertion Configuration
By default, all built-in assertions are enabled in the monitor AXI4 BFM. To globally disable
them in the monitor BFM, use the
command as the following example illustrates:
set_config(AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ALL_ASSERTIONS,0)
Alternatively, individual built-in assertions can be disabled by using a sequence of
and
commands on the respective assertion. For example, to disable assertion
checking for the AWLOCK signal changing between the AWVALID and AWREADY handshake
signals, use the following sequence of commands:
// Define a local bit vector to hold the value of the assertion bit vector
bit [255:0] config_assert_bitvector;
// Get the current value of the assertion bit vector
config_assert_bitvector = bfm.get_config(AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ASSERTION);
// Assign the AXI4_LOCK_CHANGED_BEFORE_AWREADY assertion bit to 0
config_assert_bitvector[AXI4_LOCK_CHANGED_BEFORE_AWREADY] = 0;
// Set the new value of the assertion bit vector
bfm.set_config(AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ASSERTION, config_assert_bitvector);
Note
Do not confuse the AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ASSERTION bit vector with the
AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ALL_ASSERTIONS global enable/disable.
To re-enable the AXI4_LOCK_CHANGED_BEFORE_AWREADY assertion, follow the above
code sequence and assign the assertion in the AXI4_CONFIG_ENABLE_ASSERTION bit vector
to 1.
