VHDL AXI3 and AXI4 Monitor BFMs
This section provides information about the VHDL AXI3 and AXI4 monitor BFMs. Each BFM
has an API containing procedures that configure the BFM and access the dynamic
during the lifetime of a transaction.
Note
Due to AXI3 protocol specification changes, for some BFM tasks, you reference the
AXI3 BFM by specifying AXI instead of AXI3.
Inline Monitor Connection
The connection of a monitor BFM to a test environment differs from that of a master and slave
BFM. It is wrapped in an inline monitor interface and connected inline, between a master and
slave, as shown in
. It has separate master and slave ports and monitors protocol
traffic between a master and slave. By construction, the monitor has access to all the facilities
provided by the monitor BFM.
