Avalon

This repo contains various utilities for Avalon Memory Map. This is an industry standard bus interface for connecting peripherals (e.g. memory and I/O devices) to a bus master (e.g. a CPU).

Avalon Memory Map interface

Here is a brief summary of the signals involved in the Avalon Memory Map interface. For full details, refer to Section 3 of the specification. These blocks all use "Pipelined Read Transfer with Variable Latency", see section 3.5.4 and Figure 12, and support burst mode, see section 3.5.5. They do not use the "waitrequestAllowance" property.

Signal Description
write Asserted by client when sending data to the device.
read Asserted by client when requesting data from the device.
address The address (in units of words).
writedata The data to send to the device.
byteenable 1-bit for each byte of data to the device.
burstcount Number of words to transfer.
readdata Data receive from the device.
readdatavalid Asserted when data from the device is valid.
waitrequest Asserted by the device when it is busy.

avm_memory.vhd

This generates a block of memory (BRAM).

avm_master.vhd

This acts as an Avalon Master (instead of a CPU) to generate some test trafic.

avm_decrease.vhd

This utility connects a Master and a Slave, where the two have different data widths. Specifically, the Master data width is expected to be larger than the Slave data width. A single Master request is converted into a burst mode request to the Slave.

avm_pause.vhd

This inserts small pauses into the Avalon Memory Map interface. This is useful to increase test coverage.
