That is interesting. What about AHB-Lite? Also, is there a bridge component to convert between AXI and these older interfaces AHB and APB? I think that a bridge component is usually required.

Finally, where are the BFMs that can be used to verify AHB and APB interface components? I have not seen any BFMs for these yet.

    Xilinx seem to have a bridge componet for this and Microsemi also seem to have one. I did not expect that it would be missing with Altera/Intel.
