• Synopsys AMBA VIP Release Notes (PDF)

The Synopsys VIP for AMBA is a suite of advanced verification components and data objects based on SystemVerilog UVM-compliant technology. This on-line help contains information about the classes, functions, and member variables. It shows class hierarchy and contents and it provides links you can use to navigate to more details. Below is the summary of the components and the user interface of the Synopsys AMBA VIP.

AMBA VIP Components

• svt_amba_system_env Defines a System ENV for the AMBA SVT suite. The AMBA System ENV encapsulates the following:
  
  • svt_amba_system_monitor AMBA System Monitor
  • svt_amba_system_sequencer AMBA System Virtual Sequencer
  • svt_amba_multi_chip_system_monitor AMBA Multi-Chip System Monitor
  • svt_chi_system_env CHI System ENV
  • svt_axi_system_env AXI System ENV
  • svt_ahb_system_env AHB System ENV
  • svt_apb_system_env APB System ENV
• svt_amba_system_monitor The system monitor observes transactions across the AXI, AHB and APB ports and performs checks between the transactions of these ports. Note that AMBA system monitor does not currently support checks across CHI ports. For the list of system checks supported by the system monitor, please click on the "Protocol Checks" tab in this class reference documentation.

AMBA VIP User Interface

Configuration Objects:
Configuration data objects convey the system level and port level testbench configuration. The configuration data objects contain built-in constraints, which come into effect when the configuration objects are randomized. If the configuration needs to be changed later, it can be done through reconfigure() method of the master, slave, interconnect or system components. The AMBA VIP defines the following top level configuration class:

• svt_amba_system_configuration System configuration

Callbacks:
Callbacks are an access mechanism that enable the insertion of user-defined code and allow access to objects for scoreboarding and functional coverage. The System Monitor is associated with a callback class that contains a set of callback methods:

• svt_amba_system_monitor_callback System monitor callback class

Protocol Checks:
