Introduction

Collection of AXI Stream bus components. Most components are fully parametrizable in interface widths. Includes full MyHDL testbench with intelligent bus cosimulation endpoints.

Documentation

arbiter module

General-purpose parametrizable arbiter. Supports priority and round-robin arbitration. Supports blocking until request release or acknowledge.

axis_adapter module

The axis_adapter module bridges AXI stream busses of differing widths. The module is parametrizable, but there are certain restrictions. First, the bus word widths must be identical (e.g. one 8-bit lane and eight 8-bit lanes, but not one 16-bit lane and one 32-bit lane). Second, the bus widths must be related by an integer multiple (e.g. 2 words and 6 words, but not 4 words and 6 words). Wait states will be inserted on the wider bus side when necessary.

Can be generated with arbitrary port counts with axis_arb_mux.py.

axis_arb_mux_64_N module

Can be generated with arbitrary port counts with axis_arb_mux_64.py.

axis_frame_length_adjust_fifo module

Frame length adjuster module with FIFO. Truncates or pads frames as necessary to meet the specified minimum and maximum length. Reports the original and current lengths as well as whether the packet was truncated or padded. FIFOs are used so that the status information can be read before the packet itself. Length limits are configurable at run time.

axis_frame_length_adjust_fifo_64 module

Use with axis_frame_join_N to form a single monolithic frame from multiple monitored points with the same trigger.

axis_switch_NxN module

Testing

Running the included testbenches requires MyHDL and Icarus Verilog. Make sure that myhdl.vpi is installed properly for cosimulation to work correctly. The testbenches can be run with a Python test runner like nose or py.test, or the individual test scripts can be run with python directly.
