AMBA-APB-Protocol-Design-using-Verilog Introduction This project designs and verifies the AMBA APB protocol using Verilog. The AMBA APB protocol is a low-speed, low-complexity bus protocol that connects peripherals to a processor. The protocol is designed to be simple and efficient, making it ideal for low-cost and low-power applications.

The project is implemented using Verilog, a hardware description language (HDL) used to describe electronic systems' behaviour. SystemVerilog is a powerful language that can be used to model systems' functional and timing behaviour.

The design part describes the AMBA APB protocol and the implementation of the protocol in SystemVerilog. The verification part describes the test cases used to verify the design.

Design The AMBA APB protocol consists of four main components: the master, the slave, the bus, and the arbiter. The master is the device that initiates a bus transaction. The slave is the device that responds to a bus transaction. The bus is the medium that connects the master and the slave. The arbiter is the device that arbitrates between multiple masters for access to the bus.

The design of the AMBA APB protocol in SystemVerilog is divided into two parts: the master and the slave. The master is implemented as a module with four ports: the address port, the data port, the control port, and the clock port. The address port is used to send the address of the data that is being accessed. The data port is used to send and receive data. The control port sends control signals, such as read and write. The clock port synchronises the transactions between the master and the slave.

The slave is also implemented as a module with four ports: the address port, the data port, the control port, and the clock port. The address port is used to receive the address of the data that is being accessed. The data port is used to send and receive data. The control port receives control signals, such as read and write. The clock port synchronises the transactions between the master and the slave.

Conclusion This project has successfully designed and verified the AMBA APB protocol using SystemVerilog. Using the AMBA APB protocol, the project can be used as a starting point for other projects.

The project can be improved by adding more features to the protocol, such as support for interrupts and DMA. Adding more test cases to the verification suite can also improve the project.
