Verilog-PCIexpress Modular Componenets

Modular Verilog PCIexpress Interface Components with complete MyHDL Testbench for FPGA deployment. This repo is a collection of PCI express related components. It Includes a full MyHDL & Verilog testbench with intelligent bus cosimulation endpoints.

PCIe BFM

A MyHDL transaction layer PCI Express bus functional model (BFM) is included in pcie.py. This BFM implements an extensive event driven simulation of a complete PCI express system including :

The BFM includes code to

Any module can be connected to a cosimulated design, enabling testing of not only isolated components and host-device communication but also communication between multiple components such as device-to-device DMA and message passing.

A MyHDL model of the Xilinx Ultrascale PCIe hard core is included in pcie_us.py. This module can be used in combination with the PCIe BFM to test a MyHDL or Verilog design that targets a Xilinx Ultrascale FPGA. The model currently only supports operation as a device, not as a root port.

Testing

Running the included testbenches requires MyHDL and Icarus Verilog. Make sure that myhdl.vpi is installed properly for cosimulation to work correctly. The testbenches can be run with a Python test runner like nose or py.test, or the individual test scripts can be run with python directly.
