AVALON IP LIBRARY

Hello, I am investigating the AVALON Bus Protocol as a standard to be used in a RISC-V SoC design.

I understand AVALON to be an OPEN standard but wish to understand what AVALON IP/Macros/RTL are available for licence/purchase to support the SoC development.

Is there a simple link/URL that will show me the available IP or do I need to use a development tool to reveal the available IP library?

Thank you in advance,

Rob Shepherd

      Hello again,

      (Sorry to ask)

      Do you know whether the IP that is described in the guide is available in HDL form or is it a drag and drop thing that is configured and pops out from the Quartus process as a binary for programming FPGA.

      The guide is named "Embedded" IP which may mean the IP is embedded in the tool only but section 41.3 (item suggests a "Generate HDL" stage but I am not sure if this applies to all items in the guide.

      Please let me know if you have experience of this.

      Thank you,

      Rob

        Hi,

        Yes, you can drag and drop and edit the IP as per the guide, and after you connect everything without any warnings/errors, you can generate the HDL.
