bfm-develop

What problem does it solve?

Automates creation of SystemC TLM-2.0 Bus Functional Models so architecture and verification teams can run fast transaction-level simulations, catch protocol bugs early, and provide stimulus/checker BFMs before RTL exists.

Core Features & Use Cases

• LT by default, AT on demand: Implements LT b_transport for fast validation and AT non-blocking transport when timing accuracy is explicitly requested.
• AMBA protocol support: AXI by default with options for AHB/APB/ACE and AMBA-PV extensions for realistic bus behavior.
• Verification integration: Produces bfm/ source, CMake build scripts, smoke test results, optional DPI-C interface, and feature coverage reports mapped to iron-requirements.json for downstream consistency.

Quick Start

Implement SystemC TLM BFMs in bfm/src from architecture.md using LT b_transport and AXI by default, build the bfm with CMake, and run the smoke test to record results.
