Modern systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) continue to increase in complexity, adding more components and calculation power to accommodate new performance-hungry applications such as machine learning and autonomous driving.  With increased number of SoC components, such as CPUs, GPUs, accelerators and I/O devices, comes increased demand to correctly model interoperability of various components. Traditional simulation of complex systems requires accurate models of all components comprising the system and normally results in very long simulation times. A better way is to create a set of typical traffic profiles which describe behavior of system’s masters and slaves. Such profiles should be abstract to be applied to various protocols and interfaces and be portable to be applied throughout different SoC design and verification cycles.

To address the challenges outlined above, Arm has recently announced availability of the AMBA® Adaptive Traffic Profiles (AMBA ATP) specification which lays foundation of a new synthetic traffic framework. The AMBA ATP specification includes detailed information of various transaction types and timing characteristics of those transactions. The traffic profiles defined in the specification are abstract in nature and thus could be used to generate stimuli for various standard AMBA protocols and in various environments such as RTL-based simulation, FPGA prototyping and final SoC verification. The traffic profiles outlined in the specification include a set of parameters to define timing relationships between transactions as well as timing relationships within individual transactions. Even though the traffic profile represents the behavior of a single agent it could be applied either in a concurrent manner (e.g. write and read traffic profiles running in parallel) or in a sequential manner (e.g. when one traffic completes before the next one start). Moreover, when simulating a reasonably complex system, it is possible to coordinate traffic profiles generated by multiple components. While providing abstract definition of traffic profiles, the AMBA ATP specification focuses on the use of traffic profiles with an AMBA AXI interface, outlining signaling, timing relationships between different transaction phases and between different transactions. The same application principles could be used to map the abstract traffic profiles to other AMBA protocols such as AMBA5 CHI protocol.  

To facilitate adoption of the AMBA Adaptive Traffic Profiles, Cadence has recently announced availability of SystemVerilog UVM ATP Sequence Layer which automatically implements mapping of an abstract ATP traffic to AMBA protocol specific traffic, generated by Cadence AMBA Verification IP. The ATP layer is implemented as a SystemVerilog UVM virtual sequence with the sequence item including all ATP transaction parameters as defined in the specification.

Using the provided sequence infrastructure, users can write tests to define and coordinate traffic profiles for various components in the system. The ATP Layer automatically converts the abstract traffic profile into AMBA protocol-specific traffic, e.g., AMBA5 CHI protocol traffic.

 A sample code below, shows an example of a read profile translated by Cadence ACE Verification IP in ACE protocol traffic.

   `uvm_do_with(ace_atp_vseq,                                            

                       {ace_atp_vseq.agentId == agent_id;                                // ATP agent id

                        ace_atp_vseq.atpDirection == ATP_READ;                    // direction of bursts issued by virtual sequence

                        ace_atp_vseq.startAddress == start_address;                // start of address range being accessed

                        ace_atp_vseq.endAddress == end_address;                  // end of address range being accessed

                        ace_atp_vseq.atpDomain == atp_domain;                      // domain to use for transactions

                        ace_atp_vseq.addressPattern == ATP_SEQUENTIAL;  // address pattern

                        ace_atp_vseq.transactionSize == 64;                             // number of bytes in each burst

                        ace_atp_vseq.dataSize == 4;                                          // number of bytes in each transfer

                        ace_atp_vseq.rate == 150.0/(50.0);                                // requestedBandwidth / clkFrequency

                        ace_atp_vseq.start == ATP_EMPTY;                              // start condition of the ATP FIFO

                        ace_atp_vseq.full == 128;                                               // full level of the ATP FIFO

                        ace_atp_vseq.numOfTransactions == 500;                    // number of bursts issued by this sequence

                        ace_atp_vseq.ARTV == 2;                                              // sub-transaction delay

                        ace_atp_vseq.RBR == 3;                                                // sub-transaction delay

                       });

Verifying lane adapter state machine in a router design is quite an involved task and needs verification from several aspects including that for its link training functionality.

The diagram below shows two lane adapters connected to each other and each going through the link training process. Each training sub-state transition is contingent on conditions for both transmission and reception of relevant ordered sets needed for a transition. Until conditions for both are satisfied an adapter cannot transition to the next training sub-state.

As deduced from the lane adapter state machine section of USB4 specification, the reception condition for the next training sub-state transition is less strict than that of the transmission condition. For ex., for LOCK1 to LOCK2 transition, the reception condition requires only two SLOS symbols in a row being detected, while the transmission condition requires at least four complete SLOS1 ordered sets to be sent.

From the above conditions in the specification, it is a possibility that a lane adapter A may detect the two SLOS or TS ordered sets, being sent by the lane adapter B on the other end, in the very beginning as soon as it starts transmitting its own SLOS or TS ordered sets. On the other hand, it is also a possibility that these SLOS or TS ordered sets are not yet detected by lane adapter A even when it has met the condition of sending minimum number of SLOS or TS ordered sets.

In such a case, lane adapter A, even though it has satisfied the transmission condition cannot transition to the next sub-state because the reception condition is not yet met. Hence lane adapter A must first wait for the required number of ordered sets to be detected by it before it can go to the next sub-state. But this wait cannot be endless as there are timeouts defined in the specification, after which the training process may be re-attempted.

This interlocked way of operation also ensures that state machine of a lane adapter does not go out of sync with that of the other lane adapter. Such type of scenarios can occur whenever lane adapter state machine transitions to the training state from other states.

Cadence has a mature Verification IP solution for the verification of various aspects of the logical layer of a USB4 router design, with verification capabilities provided to do a comprehensive verification of it.

Hi,

This question is related to the constraint measurement criteria used by the Liberate inside view. I am trying to characterize a specific D flip-flop for low voltage operation (0.6V) using Cadence Liberate (V16). 

When the "define_arcs" are not explicitly specified in the settings for the circuit (but the input/outputs are indeed correct in define_cell), the inside view seems to probe an internal node (i.e. master latch output)  for constraint measurements instead of the Q output of the flip flop. So to force the tool to probe Q output I added following coder in constraint arcs :

# constraint arcs from CK => D
define_arc
-type hold
-vector {RRx}
-related_pin CP
-pin D
-probe Q
DFFXXX

define_arc
-type hold
-vector {RFx}
-related_pin CP
-pin D
-probe Q
DFFXXX

define_arc
-type setup
-vector {RRx}
-related_pin CP
-pin D
-probe Q
DFFXXX

define_arc
-type setup
-vector {RFx}
-related_pin CP
-pin D
-probe Q
DFFXXX

with -probe Q liberate identifies Q as the output, but uses Glitch-Peak criteria instead of delay degradation method. So what could be the exact reason for this unintended behavior ? In my external (spectre) spice simulation, the Flip-Flop works well and it does not show any issues in the output delay degradation when the input sweeps.

Thanks

Anuradha
