AMBA AXI4 Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the ARM AMBA AXI4 component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's AMBA AXI4 Verification IP is fully compliant with standard AMBA AXI4 Specification. Our AMBA AXI4 VIP is proved across multiple customers.
AMBA AXI4 Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
AMBA AXI4 Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
