VIP Smartsearch

X
  • VIP Smartsearch is a framework that supports search within VIP reference documents using query in natural language. It facilitates reordering of search results and keeps record of user’s decision for the ordering of result display and applies that in search of same query on subsequent usage.

AMBA SVT OVM Documentation - Transaction Class List

Here are the Transaction classes with brief descriptions:
svt_axi_system_transaction This class encapsulates system level information pertaining to a transaction. System level information includes a master transaction and associated snoop and slave transactions.
svt_axi_ic_slave_transaction svt_axi_ic_slave_transaction class is used by the slave ports of the Interconnect component, to represent the transaction received on the Interconnect Slave port from a master component. At the end of each transaction on the Interconnect Slave port, the port monitor within the Interconnect Slave port provides object of type svt_axi_ic_slave_transaction from its analysis port, in active and passive mode.
svt_axi_slave_transaction The slave transaction class extends from the AXI transaction base class svt_axi_transaction. The slave transaction class contains the constraints for slave specific members in the base transaction class. svt_axi_slave_transaction is used for specifying slave response to the slave component. In addition to this, at the end of each transaction on the AXI port, the slave VIP component provides object of type svt_axi_slave_transaction from its analysis ports, in active and passive mode.
svt_axi_master_transaction The master transaction class extends from the AXI transaction base class svt_axi_transaction. The master transaction class contains the constraints for master specific members in the base transaction class. At the end of each transaction, the master VIP component provides object of type svt_axi_master_transaction from its analysis ports, in active and passive mode.
svt_axi_ic_snoop_transaction svt_axi_ic_snoop_transaction class extends from the snoop transaction base class svt_axi_snoop_transaction. This class represents the snoop transaction at the interconnect slave ports, which are connected to the external master components. At the end of each snoop transaction on the Interconnect Slave port, the port monitor within the Interconnect Slave port provides object of type svt_axi_ic_snoop_transaction from its analysis port, in active and passive mode.
svt_axi_master_snoop_transaction The master snoop transaction class extends from the snoop transaction base class svt_axi_snoop_transaction. The master snoop transaction class contains the constraints for master specific members in the base transaction class. At the end of each transaction, the master VIP component provides object of type svt_axi_master_snoop_transaction from its analysis ports, in active and passive mode.
svt_axi_snoop_transaction This is the base class for snoop transaction type which contains all the physical attributes of the transaction like address, data, transaction type, etc. It also provides the timing information of the transaction to the master component, that is, delays for valid and ready signals with respect to some reference events.
svt_axi_service This class is a service transaction class:
  • used for monitoring low power interface. It captures the information on low power signals during the low power entry and low power exit handshakes
  • used as service transaction class to initiate sysco related service request on the axi service sequencer.
svt_axi_barrier_pair_transaction This is a transaction type which contains handles to to base transaction object of type svt_axi_transaction
svt_axi_transaction This is the base transaction type which contains all the physical attributes of the transaction like address, data, burst type, burst length, etc. It also provides the timing information of the transaction to the master & slave transactors, that is, delays for valid and ready signals with respect to some reference events.
svt_ahb_slave_transaction The slave transaction class extends from the AHB transaction base class svt_ahb_transaction. The slave transaction class contains slave specific members and constraints for members relevant to slave. svt_ahb_slave_transaction is used for below purposes:
  • Specifying slave response to the slave driver
  • Slave provides object of type svt_ahb_slave_transaction from its analysis port at the end of transaction
  • Slave provides object of type svt_ahb_slave_transaction as an argument to all the slave callback methods
svt_ahb_master_transaction The master transaction class extends from the AHB transaction base class svt_ahb_transaction. The master transaction class contains the constraints for master specific members in the base transaction class. At the end of each transaction, the master VIP component provides object of type svt_ahb_master_transaction from its analysis port and callbacks in active as well as in passive mode.
svt_ahb_transaction This is the transaction class which contains all the physical attributes of the transaction like address, burst type, burst size, data etc. At the end of each transaction, the master and slave VIP component provides extended object of type svt_ahb_transaction from its analysis ports in active and passive mode.
svt_apb_slave_transaction This is the slave transaction class which contains slave specific transaction class members, and constraints.
svt_apb_master_transaction This is the master transaction class which contains master specific transaction class members, and constraints.
svt_apb_transaction This is the transaction class which contains all the physical attributes of the transaction like address and data. It also provides the wait state information of the transaction.
svt_amba_perf_rec_base This class records the performance activity in a given performance interval. Typcially, an instance of this class is created at the end of each performance interval configured by the user and is updated with the performance results for that period. This is stored by the monitor for reporting
svt_amba_perf_calc_base Class used internally by the VIP to calculate performance. Typically an instance of this class is created by the VIP for each performance metric. At the end of each interval the values of this class are used for checking/reporting as well as updating an instance of svt_amba_perf_rec_base class which stores the performance summary for an interval
