The above statement disallowing a write data phase to start before its write address phase in a
transaction modifies the AXI4 protocol specification slave write response handshake
dependencies diagram, Figure A3-7 in section A3.3.1, by effectively adding double-headed
arrows between AWVALID to WVALID and AWREADY to WVALID, with the provision that
they can be simultaneous.
AXI3 BFM Write Data Interleaving
The ability of a BFM to interleave write data is not supported. Therefore, a write data burst that
has started will complete before another write data burst with the same or different transaction
ID can start. An AXI3 BFM modifies the AXI protocol specification by removing section
A5.3.3 concerning the interleaving of write data with different AWID signal values.
BFM Read Data Interleaving
The ability of a BFM to interleave read data is not supported. Therefore, a read data burst that
has started will complete before another read data burst with the same or different transaction
ID can start. A BFM modifies the AXI protocol specification by changing the following
statement in section A5.3.1 concerning the interleaving of read data with different ARID signal
values.
•
Read data of transactions with different ARID values cannot be interleaved.
