SystemVerilog API Overview
This section provides the functional description of the SystemVerilog Application
Programming Interface (API) for all the BFM (master, slave, and monitor) components. For
each BFM, you can configure the protocol transaction fields that are executed on the protocol
signals, as well as control the operational transaction fields that permit delays to be introduced
between the handshake signals for each of the five address, data, and response channels.
In addition, each BFM API has tasks that wait for certain events to occur on the system clock
and reset signals, and tasks to get and set information about a particular transaction.
