Introduction

Collection of PCI express related components. Includes full MyHDL testbench with intelligent bus cosimulation endpoints.

Documentation

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 root complex, switches, devices, and functions. The BFM includes code to enumerate the bus, initialize configuration space registers and allocate BARs, pass messages between devices, and perform memory read and write operations. Any module can be connected to a cosimulated design, enabling testing of not only isolated components but also communication between multiple components such as device-to-device DMA and message passing.

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.
