AXI4 Lite 协议分析

本文是上篇文章《Zynq 7000 自定义IP实验》的扩展,


在Zynq 7000 的ip设计应用中,为了实现PS-PL 互动,我们需要选择 AXI 4 协议, 而Axi4 Lite 是其中简化版本,耗用资源比较少,也比较好理解。大多数情况,我们选择它。

为了设计好自定义ip 包,我们需要熟悉和掌握 Axi 4 Lite。

首先使用ILA 采集读写的波形图,另存工程,然后添加ila。我简单介绍其操作过程,如果不能掌握,也关系不大。主要是看波形。

现在我们转到我们分析的文件 myip_led_v1_0_S00_AXI.v

 

在文件的前部分 ,是模块的输入输出定义,这就是

    module myip_led_v1_0_S00_AXI #

        // Read ready. This signal indicates that the master can
            // accept the read data and response information.
        input wire  S_AXI_RREADY
    );

这部分先是参数定义,接下来就是所有信号的列表。每个信号上面都有一行注释,说明功能。归类一下

1:写地址通道: AWVALID, AWADDR, AWREADY(O),AWPROT

2:写数据通道: WVALID, WDATA, WSTRB, WREADY(O)

3:写应答通道: BVALID(O), BRESP(O), BREADY

4:读地址通道: ARVALID, ARADDR,ARREADY(O),ARPROT

5:读数据通道: RVALID,RDATA,RREADY, RRESP

6:系统通道: ACLK, ARESETN

 

接下来的代码是:

    // AXI4LITE signals
    reg [C_S_AXI_ADDR_WIDTH-1 : 0]     axi_awaddr;
    reg      axi_awready;
    reg      axi_wready;
    reg [1 : 0]     axi_bresp;
    reg      axi_bvalid;
    reg [C_S_AXI_ADDR_WIDTH-1 : 0]     axi_araddr;
    reg      axi_arready;
    reg [C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH-1 : 0]     axi_rdata;
    reg [1 : 0]     axi_rresp;
    reg      axi_rvalid;

    // Example-specific design signals
    // local parameter for addressing 32 bit / 64 bit C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH
    // ADDR_LSB is used for addressing 32/64 bit registers/memories
    // ADDR_LSB = 2 for 32 bits (n downto 2)
    // ADDR_LSB = 3 for 64 bits (n downto 3)
    localparam integer ADDR_LSB = (C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH/32) + 1;
    localparam integer OPT_MEM_ADDR_BITS = 1;
    //----------------------------------------------
    //-- Signals for user logic register space example
    //------------------------------------------------
    //-- Number of Slave Registers 4
    reg [C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH-1:0]    slv_reg0;
    reg [C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH-1:0]    slv_reg1;
    reg [C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH-1:0]    slv_reg2;
    reg [C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH-1:0]    slv_reg3;
    wire     slv_reg_rden;
    wire     slv_reg_wren;
    reg [C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH-1:0]     reg_data_out;
    integer     byte_index;

    // I/O Connections assignments

    assign S_AXI_AWREADY    = axi_awready;
    assign S_AXI_WREADY    = axi_wready;
    assign S_AXI_BRESP    = axi_bresp;
    assign S_AXI_BVALID    = axi_bvalid;
    assign S_AXI_ARREADY    = axi_arready;
    assign S_AXI_RDATA    = axi_rdata;
    assign S_AXI_RRESP    = axi_rresp;
    assign S_AXI_RVALID    = axi_rvalid;

基本上,所有的输出都定义一个对应的reg,然后都有一个assign。

 

接下来的代码是:

    // Implement axi_awready generation
    // axi_awready is asserted for one S_AXI_ACLK clock cycle when both
    // S_AXI_AWVALID and S_AXI_WVALID are asserted. axi_awready is
    // de-asserted when reset is low.

    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_awready <= 1'b0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          if (~axi_awready && S_AXI_AWVALID && S_AXI_WVALID)
            begin
              // slave is ready to accept write address when
              // there is a valid write address and write data
              // on the write address and data bus. This design
              // expects no outstanding transactions.
              axi_awready <= 1'b1;
            end
          else           
            begin
              axi_awready <= 1'b0;
            end
        end
    end
正如第一行的注释,实现 axi_awready, AWVALID和WVALID都为1, axi_awready 就为1

 

接下来代码是:

    // Implement axi_awaddr latching
    // This process is used to latch the address when both
    // S_AXI_AWVALID and S_AXI_WVALID are valid.

    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_awaddr <= 0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          if (~axi_awready && S_AXI_AWVALID && S_AXI_WVALID)
            begin
              // Write Address latching
              axi_awaddr <= S_AXI_AWADDR;
            end
        end
    end

这段代码正如第一行的注释,实现写地址的锁存。锁存的条件是axi_awready为0  , AWVALID,WVALID 都为1

 

接下来的代码是:

    // Implement axi_wready generation
    // axi_wready is asserted for one S_AXI_ACLK clock cycle when both
    // S_AXI_AWVALID and S_AXI_WVALID are asserted. axi_wready is
    // de-asserted when reset is low.

    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_wready <= 1'b0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          if (~axi_wready && S_AXI_WVALID && S_AXI_AWVALID)
            begin
              // slave is ready to accept write data when
              // there is a valid write address and write data
              // on the write address and data bus. This design
              // expects no outstanding transactions.
              axi_wready <= 1'b1;
            end
          else
            begin
              axi_wready <= 1'b0;
            end
        end
    end
 

这段代码正如第一行的注释,实现axi_wready。为1的条件是:axi_wready为0,WVALID,AWVALID都为1

 

接下来的代码是

    // Implement memory mapped register select and write logic generation
    // The write data is accepted and written to memory mapped registers when
    // axi_awready, S_AXI_WVALID, axi_wready and S_AXI_WVALID are asserted. Write strobes are used to
    // select byte enables of slave registers while writing.
    // These registers are cleared when reset (active low) is applied.
    // Slave register write enable is asserted when valid address and data are available
    // and the slave is ready to accept the write address and write data.
    assign slv_reg_wren = axi_wready && S_AXI_WVALID && axi_awready && S_AXI_AWVALID;

    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          slv_reg0 <= 0;
          slv_reg1 <= 0;
          slv_reg2 <= 0;
          slv_reg3 <= 0;
        end
      else begin
        if (slv_reg_wren)
          begin
            case ( axi_awaddr[ADDR_LSB+OPT_MEM_ADDR_BITS:ADDR_LSB] )
              2'h0:
                for ( byte_index = 0; byte_index <= (C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH/8)-1; byte_index = byte_index+1 )
                  if ( S_AXI_WSTRB[byte_index] == 1 ) begin
                    // Respective byte enables are asserted as per write strobes
                    // Slave register 0
                    slv_reg0[(byte_index*8) +: 8] <= S_AXI_WDATA[(byte_index*8) +: 8];
                  end  
              2'h1:
                for ( byte_index = 0; byte_index <= (C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH/8)-1; byte_index = byte_index+1 )
                  if ( S_AXI_WSTRB[byte_index] == 1 ) begin
                    // Respective byte enables are asserted as per write strobes
                    // Slave register 1
                    slv_reg1[(byte_index*8) +: 8] <= S_AXI_WDATA[(byte_index*8) +: 8];
                  end  
              2'h2:
                for ( byte_index = 0; byte_index <= (C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH/8)-1; byte_index = byte_index+1 )
                  if ( S_AXI_WSTRB[byte_index] == 1 ) begin
                    // Respective byte enables are asserted as per write strobes
                    // Slave register 2
                    slv_reg2[(byte_index*8) +: 8] <= S_AXI_WDATA[(byte_index*8) +: 8];
                  end  
              2'h3:
                for ( byte_index = 0; byte_index <= (C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH/8)-1; byte_index = byte_index+1 )
                  if ( S_AXI_WSTRB[byte_index] == 1 ) begin
                    // Respective byte enables are asserted as per write strobes
                    // Slave register 3
                    slv_reg3[(byte_index*8) +: 8] <= S_AXI_WDATA[(byte_index*8) +: 8];
                  end  
              default : begin
                          slv_reg0 <= slv_reg0;
                          slv_reg1 <= slv_reg1;
                          slv_reg2 <= slv_reg2;
                          slv_reg3 <= slv_reg3;
                        end
            endcase
          end
      end
    end  
 

这段代码正如第一行的注释,实现写。其实上面都是为这写做辅助。

 assign slv_reg_wren = axi_wready && S_AXI_WVALID && axi_awready && S_AXI_AWVALID;

这一行就是说写发生的条件。

WSTRB[byte_index] 控制对应字节的写操作,比如数据是4字节宽度,0x1111,就控制4个字节都要写入。 0x011就只低2字节写入。

写入的过程就这样完成了,每一个关键信号都有一段代码。

 

接下来的代码是:

    // Implement write response logic generation
    // The write response and response valid signals are asserted by the slave
    // when axi_wready, S_AXI_WVALID, axi_wready and S_AXI_WVALID are asserted.  
    // This marks the acceptance of address and indicates the status of
    // write transaction.

    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_bvalid  <= 0;
          axi_bresp   <= 2'b0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          if (axi_awready && S_AXI_AWVALID && ~axi_bvalid && axi_wready && S_AXI_WVALID)
            begin
              // indicates a valid write response is available
              axi_bvalid <= 1'b1;
              axi_bresp  <= 2'b0; // 'OKAY' response
            end                   // work error responses in future
          else
            begin
              if (S_AXI_BREADY && axi_bvalid)
                //check if bready is asserted while bvalid is high)
                //(there is a possibility that bready is always asserted high)   
                begin
                  axi_bvalid <= 1'b0;
                end  
            end
        end
    end

这段代码是写完成的响应信号控制。

 

接下来的代码就是读的过程了。

接下来的代码是:

    // Implement axi_arready generation
    // axi_arready is asserted for one S_AXI_ACLK clock cycle when
    // S_AXI_ARVALID is asserted. axi_awready is
    // de-asserted when reset (active low) is asserted.
    // The read address is also latched when S_AXI_ARVALID is
    // asserted. axi_araddr is reset to zero on reset assertion.

    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_arready <= 1'b0;
          axi_araddr  <= 32'b0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          if (~axi_arready && S_AXI_ARVALID)
            begin
              // indicates that the slave has acceped the valid read address
              axi_arready <= 1'b1;
              // Read address latching
              axi_araddr  <= S_AXI_ARADDR;
            end
          else
            begin
              axi_arready <= 1'b0;
            end
        end
    end
这段代码实现axi_arready。 为1的条件是: axi_arready为0,ARVALID为1。为1只是保留1个ACLK

变1的同时锁定读地址:axi_araddr  <= S_AXI_ARADDR。

 


接下来的代码是:

    // Implement axi_arvalid generation
    // axi_rvalid is asserted for one S_AXI_ACLK clock cycle when both
    // S_AXI_ARVALID and axi_arready are asserted. The slave registers
    // data are available on the axi_rdata bus at this instance. The
    // assertion of axi_rvalid marks the validity of read data on the
    // bus and axi_rresp indicates the status of read transaction.axi_rvalid
    // is deasserted on reset (active low). axi_rresp and axi_rdata are
    // cleared to zero on reset (active low).  
    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_rvalid <= 0;
          axi_rresp  <= 0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          if (axi_arready && S_AXI_ARVALID && ~axi_rvalid)
            begin
              // Valid read data is available at the read data bus
              axi_rvalid <= 1'b1;
              axi_rresp  <= 2'b0; // 'OKAY' response
            end   
          else if (axi_rvalid && S_AXI_RREADY)
            begin
              // Read data is accepted by the master
              axi_rvalid <= 1'b0;
            end                
        end
    end

这段代码实现axi_arvalid,读地址有效。

 

接下来的代码就是实现读:

    // Implement memory mapped register select and read logic generation
    // Slave register read enable is asserted when valid address is available
    // and the slave is ready to accept the read address.
    assign slv_reg_rden = axi_arready & S_AXI_ARVALID & ~axi_rvalid;
    always @(*)
    begin
          // Address decoding for reading registers
          case ( axi_araddr[ADDR_LSB+OPT_MEM_ADDR_BITS:ADDR_LSB] )
            2'h0   : reg_data_out <= slv_reg0;
            2'h1   : reg_data_out <= slv_reg1;
            2'h2   : reg_data_out <= slv_reg2;
            2'h3   : reg_data_out <= slv_reg3;
            default : reg_data_out <= 0;
          endcase
    end

    // Output register or memory read data
    always @( posedge S_AXI_ACLK )
    begin
      if ( S_AXI_ARESETN == 1'b0 )
        begin
          axi_rdata  <= 0;
        end
      else
        begin    
          // When there is a valid read address (S_AXI_ARVALID) with
          // acceptance of read address by the slave (axi_arready),
          // output the read dada
          if (slv_reg_rden)
            begin
              axi_rdata <= reg_data_out;     // register read data
            end   
        end
    end
这段代码实现寄存器映像和读数据输出。根据地址axi_araddr[ADDR_LSB+OPT_MEM_ADDR_BITS:ADDR_LSB],reg_data_out时刻映像其地址。但还不是输出到axi_rdata。

输出的条件是 assign slv_reg_rden = axi_arready & S_AXI_ARVALID & ~axi_rvalid;

这就是说, axiready 和  ARVALID 都为1 而 axi_rvalid 为0, 数据输出了:axi_rdata <= reg_data_out;。

这就是我对这段代码的理解。再回过头对照看看采集的读写时序图。

仿真还在测试中,放在下一文章中。
