AXI4 Stream (sim_axis_lib.vh)

Defines axis_t, an AXI Stream bus interface that implements several tasks to send and receive data on the bus.

Definition

interface axis_t #(parameter DWIDTH = 64)
                  (input clk);
  logic [DWIDTH-1:0]  tdata;
  logic               tvalid;
  logic               tlast;
  logic               tready;

modport master (output tdata, output tvalid, output tlast, input tready);
modport slave (input tdata, input tvalid, input tlast, output tready);

Operations

push_word

// Push a word onto the AXI-Stream bus and wait for it to transfer
// Args:
// - word: The data to push onto the bus
// - eop (optional): End of packet (asserts tlast)

push_bubble

// Push a bubble cycle onto the AXI-Stream bus

pull_word

// Wait for a sample to be transferred on the AXI Stream
// bus and return the data and last
// Args:
// - word: The data pulled from the bus
// - eop: End of packet (tlast)

wait_for_bubble

// Wait for a bubble cycle on the AXI Stream bus

wait_for_pkt

// Wait for a packet to finish on the bus

push_rand_pkt

// Push a packet with random data onto to the AXI Stream bus
// Args:
// - num_samps: Packet size.

push_ramp_pkt

// Push a packet with a ramp on to the AXI Stream bus
// Args:
// - num_samps: Packet size.
// - ramp_start: Start value for the ramp
// - ramp_inc: Increment per clock cycle

Compressed VITA CHDR

Defines cvita_stream_t, an AXI Stream bus interface that implements the CHDR protocol and several tasks to send and receive data on the bus.

CHDR

typedef enum logic [1:0] {
  DATA=2'b00, FC=2'b01, CMD=2'b10, RESP=2'b11
} cvita_pkt_t;

typedef struct packed {
  logic [31:0]  sid;
  logic [15:0]  length;
  logic [11:0]  seqno;
  logic         eob;
  logic         has_time;
  cvita_pkt_t   pkt_type;
  logic [63:0]  timestamp;
} cvita_hdr_t;

Operations

  • flatten_chdr_no_ts: Flatten header struct to a 64-bit bus. No timestamp.
  • unflatten_chdr_no_ts: Decode a 64-bit header and populate the cvita_hdr_t struct. No timestamp.
  • unflatten_chdr: Decode a 64-bit header and populate the cvita_hdr_t struct. Timestamp supported.

  logic [63:0]  sum;
  logic [63:0]  min;
  logic [63:0]  max;
  logic [63:0]  crc;
} cvita_stats_t;

push_rand_pkt

// Push a packet with random data onto to the AXI Stream bus
// Args:
// - num_samps: Packet size.
