SmartDV’s AMBA CXS Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the Credited eXtensible Streaming interface, a point-to-point packetized communication protocol optimized for the transport of CCIX and CXL packets between on-chip interconnects and PCIe controllers. Fully compliant with the AMBA CXS Protocol Specification Version D and backward compatible with earlier issues, it supports complete verification of CXS Transmitter, Receiver, Monitor, and Checker components, covering credit exchange mechanisms, link activation and deactivation, continuous data delivery, and fine-grain control of flit packet placement and packet control fields across all configurable interface widths.
SmartDV’s AMBA CXS VIP supports UVM, SystemVerilog, and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly into diverse verification environments. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA simulators, providing flexibility across simulation platforms.
With configurable dynamic and pre-allocated credit control, extensive error injection across all protocol layers, programmable signal delays, transaction logging and performance reporting, on-the-fly protocol checking, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s AMBA CXS VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate streaming interface designs for CCIX, CXL, and PCIe bridging applications in high-performance computing, data center, and AI SoC environments.
