Introduction The Serial Peripheral Interface or SPI bus is a synchronous serial data link standard named by Motorola that operates in full duplex mode. Devices communicate in master/slave mode where the master device initiates the data frame. Multiple slave devices are allowed with individual slave select signals. The SPI Verification IP described in this document is a solution for verification of SPI master and slave devices. The provided SPI verification package includes master and slave verification IPs and examples. It will help engineers to quickly create verification environment end test their SPI master and slave devices. Package Hierarchy After downloading and unpacking package you will have the following folder hierarchy: • spi_vip • docs • examples • • sim • testbench verification_ip • master • slave The Verification IP is located in the verification_ip folder. Just copy the content of this folder to somewhere in your verification environment. Features • Easy integration and usage • Supports SPI bus specification as defined in M68HC11 user manual rev 5.0 • Operates as a Master or Slave • Supports multiple slaves • • • • Supports clock polarity selections Supports CPHA selection Supports both MSB and LSB data transmissions Fully configurable and accurate bus timing • Supports single and burst transfers • Supports different word sizes • Supports wait states injection Page 3 of 9 Release 1.0 SysWip SPI Verification IP User Manual 2. SPI Master The SPI Master Verification IP (VIP) initiates transfers on the SPI bus. It should be the only master on the bus. Write collision error detection isn't supported. Commands Commands marked as a queued will be put in the one queue and executed sequentially. Commands marked as a blocking will block other commands execution until finishing its own process. • • • Configuration Commands • setTiming(): - non queued, non blocking • setConfig(): - non queued, non blocking • setMode(): - non queued, blocking Data Transfer Commands • readWriteData(): - queued, blocking • busIdle(): - queued, non blocking Other Commands • startEnv(): - non queued, non blocking Commands Description All commands are SPI_m_env class methods and will be accessed only via corresponding objects. • setTiming() • Syntax • • setTiming(t_clk, t_ss_h2l, t_ss_l2h, t_ss_high) Arguments • t_clk: An int variable which specifies SPI clock period • t_ss_h2l: An int variable which specifies the minimum time before the first SPI clock edge after SS negedge • • t_ss_l2h: An int variable which specifies the minimum time after the last SPI clock edge until SS posedge • t_ss_high: An int variable which specifies the minimum idle time between transfers (minimum SS high time) Description • Page 4 of 9 Sets SPI bus custom timings. For more information about SPI timings see bus specification. Release 1.0 SysWip • SPI Verification IP User Manual setConfig() • Syntax • • • Arguments • msb: An int variable which specifies MSB or LSB data transmissions • burstSize: An int variable which specifies data burst size Description • • Syntax • • • setMode(mode) Arguments • mode: An int variable which specifies SPI bus mode Description • Sets SPI bus mode (Polarity and Phase) readWriteData() • Syntax • • • readWriteData(slaveNum, dataInBuff, dataOutBuff , dataLength) Arguments • slaveNum: An int variable that specifies SPI slave device number • dataInBuff: 8 bit vector queue that contains data buffer which should be transferred • dataOutBuff: 8 bit vector queue that contains read data buffer • dataLength: An int variable which specifies the amount of bytes which should be read Description • • Sets MSB or LSB data transmission mode. For MSB transmission set msb argument to 1. For LSB set it 0. Sets data burst size. The amount of bytes which will be transmitted in one burst. setMode() • • setConfig(msb, burstSize) Generates SPI Read/Write transactions. Writes complete data buffer to the specified slave. Reads data from slave and returns them via dataOutBuff buffer. If dataLength is not specified the transaction length will be equal to dataInBuff buffer size. busIdle() • Page 5 of 9 Syntax Release 1.0 SysWip SPI Verification IP User Manual • • Arguments • • idleTime: A time variable which specifies wait time Description • • busIdle(idleTime) Holds the bus in the idle state for the specified time startEnv() • Syntax • • startEnv() Description • Starts SPI master environment. Don't use data transfer commands before the environment start. Integration and Usage The SPI Master Verification IP integration into your environment is very easy. Instantiate the spi_m_if interface in you testbench file and connect interface ports to your DUT. Then during compilation don't forget to compile spi_m.sv and spi_m_if.sv files located inside the spi_vip/verification_ip/master folder. For usage the following steps should be done: 1. Import SPI_M package into your test. • Syntax: import SPI_M::*; 2. Create SPI_m_env class object • Syntax: SPI_m_env spi = new(spi_ifc_m); • Description: spi_ifc_m is the reference to the SPI Master Interface instance name. 3. Start SPI Master Environment. • Syntax: spi.startEnv(); This is all you need for SPI master verification IP integration. 3. SPI Slave The SPI Slave Verification IP models SPI slave device. It has an internal buffers which is accessible by master devices as well as by corresponding functions. The data written by master is stored in the output buffer. The output buffer can be read by corresponding function at any time. In the input buffer is stored data which should be read by master. The input buffer can be filled by corresponding function. Commands Commands marked as a queued will be put in the one queue and executed sequentially. Page 6 of 9 Release 1.0 SysWip SPI Verification IP User Manual Commands marked as a blocking will block other commands execution until finishing its own process. • • • Configuration Commands • setConfig(): - non queued, non blocking • setPollTimeOut():- non queued, non blocking • setMode(): - non queued, non blocking Data Processing Commands • putData(): - non queued, non blocking • getData(): - non queued, non blocking Other Commands • startEnv(): - non blocking, should be called only once for current object Commands Description All commands are SPI_s_env class methods and will be accessed only via class objects. • setPollTimeOut() • Syntax • • Arguments • • Sets the maximum poll time after which poll task will be stopped and poll time out error message generated. setConfig() • Syntax • • • setConfig(msb, burstSize) Arguments • msb: An int variable which specifies MSB or LSB data transmissions • burstSize: An int variable which specifies data burst size Description • • pollTimeOut: A time variable that specifies poll time out Description • • setPollTimeOut(pollTimeOut) Sets MSB or LSB data transmission mode. For MSB transmission set msb argument to 1. For LSB set it 0. Sets data burst size. The amount of bytes which will be transmitted in one burst. setMode() • Page 7 of 9 Syntax Release 1.0 SysWip SPI Verification IP User Manual • • Arguments • • mode: An int variable which specifies SPI bus mode Description • • setMode(mode) Sets SPI bus mode (Polarity and Phase) putData() • Syntax • putData(dataInBuff) • Arguments • dataInBuff: 8 bit vector queue that contains data buffer which will be written to the output buffer.

Description • • • • startEnv() • Syntax • • Reads length bytes data from the input buffer. startEnv() Description • Starts SPI slave environment. Integration and Usage The SPI Slave Verification IP integration into your environment is very easy. Instantiate the spi_s_if interface in you testbench file and connect interface ports to your DUT. Then during compilation don't forget to compile spi_s.sv and spi_s_if.sv files located inside the spi_vip/verification_ip/slave folder. For usage the following steps should be done: 1. Import SPI_S package into your test. • Page 8 of 9 Syntax: import SPI_S::*; Release 1.0 SysWip SPI Verification IP User Manual 2. Create SPI_s_env class object • Syntax: SPI_s_env spi = new(spi_ifc_s); • Description: spi_ifc_s is the reference to the SPI Slave interface instance name. 3. Start SPI Slave Environment • Syntax: spi.startEnv(); Now SPI slave verification IP is ready to respond transactions initiated by master device. Use data processing commands to put or get data from the internal buffers. 4. Important Tips In this section some important tips will be described to help you to avoid VIP wrong behavior. Master Tips 1. Call startEnv() task as soon as you create SPI_m_env object before any other commands. You should call it not more then once for current object. 2. Before using Data Transfer Commands be sure that external hardware reset is done. As current release does not support external reset detection feature, the best way is to wait before DUT reset is done. Slave Tips 1. Call startEnv() task as soon as you create SPI_s_env object before any other commands. It should be called before the first valid transaction initiated by SPI master. Internal initialization delay also should be considered. This function should be called only once. 2. Set burst size equal to the transfer size initiated by master. 3. Set SPI mode and configuration only when SS signal is high. Page 9 of 9 Release 1.0
