Welcome to Simulation Training – AMBA Buses with Questa SIM VIP

This training is designed to equip you with the skills to simulate and verify various AMBA bus protocols using Questa SIM VIP in our server-based environment. You will learn how to set up, configure, and run simulations for different AMBA interfaces, leveraging the pre-installed VIP (Verification IP) infrastructure we have prepared.

We will cover:

  • Overview of AMBA Protocols – including AHB, AXI, APB, and others, with a focus on their roles in SoC design.

  • Introduction to Questa SIM VIP – features, capabilities, and how it integrates with your verification environment.

  • Server Setup & Access – how to connect to our simulation servers and use the configured environment.

  • Testbench Integration – connecting AMBA VIPs to DUTs, configuring parameters, and setting up monitors and checkers.

  • Running & Debugging Simulations – compiling, executing, and analyzing simulation results.

Practical Demonstration:
We will run a sample simulation for one AMBA protocol (e.g., AXI) using the Questa SIM VIP setup on our server, showcasing the process from environment setup to result analysis.

By the end of this training, you will be able to confidently use our server-based Questa SIM VIP setup to simulate and verify AMBA bus protocols for your projects.
