What is the difference between AXI and AXI-Lite in this skill?

This skill distinguishes between the two by using the 'axi_' prefix for full AXI and 'axil_' for AXI-Lite, while also providing guidance on which signals to remove for Lite versions, such as burst and ID signals.

Does this skill help with naming conventions?

Yes, it enforces the 's_' prefix for subordinate (slave) interfaces and 'm_' for manager (master) interfaces to ensure consistent module connectivity.

What hardware modules are supported?

The skill provides access to a variety of SVC-specific modules including arbiters, routers, protocol adapters, memory controllers, and traffic generators.

Can I use this for SystemVerilog development?

Absolutely. The skill is specifically designed with SystemVerilog patterns, including parameter definitions and port declaration examples.

Developer Tools

Standardizes AXI and AXI-Lite interface development with specialized naming conventions and SystemVerilog patterns.

About

The Implementing AXI skill provides hardware engineers and RTL developers with a comprehensive framework for building AXI and AXI-Lite interfaces. It enforces strict naming conventions (using s_ and m_ prefixes) and channel ordering to ensure consistency across complex SystemVerilog designs. By providing pre-defined signal patterns, parameter templates, and access to a library of utility modules like arbiters and routers, this skill significantly reduces the boilerplate and potential for error when designing high-performance bus infrastructures for FPGAs and ASICs.

Key Features
