Changelog

All notable changes to this package are documented here.

2.0.1

Added

• Publish package discovery metadata, the README, the changelog, and the MIT license with this version.
• Add TryReadMasked to the configurable Avalon and Wishbone master contracts and their test components for explicit read-side byte enables.

Compatibility

• Existing calls and package dependencies are unchanged.

2.0.0

Added

• Configurable AvalonMaster, WishboneMaster and Axi4LiteMaster components with compile-time address and data widths.
• Generic IMemoryMappedMaster<Address, Data, ByteEnable> and IMemoryMappedBus<Address, Data, ByteEnable> transaction contracts.
• Protocol-specific IAvalonMaster, IWishboneMaster and IAxi4LiteMaster signal contracts with exact address, data and byte-enable types.
• Configurable test masters and test slaves for Avalon-MM, Wishbone Classic and AXI4-Lite, including native-word, masked-word and byte-lane operations.
• 32-, 64- and 128-bit protocol tests covering upper address/data bits, byte lanes, masks, delayed responses, error propagation and timeout recovery.
• Explicit alignment control for test masters. Avalon and Wishbone additionally support masked reads for target-side byte-enable testing.

Changed

• The short master and test-component names now refer to configurable APIs using Logic[AddressWidth] and Logic[DataWidth] values without uint truncation.
• Former fixed-width components and interfaces are retained under explicit …32 names. The six protocol bridges remain fixed-width …Bridge32 components.
• Wishbone request sequencing guarantees one accepted transfer for one request, including with an always-ready target.
• Avalon test targets retain an accepted response until the requester releases the transaction, preventing repeated acceptance across clock edges.
• Timeout tests now cover expiry immediately before and at handshake boundaries.

Breaking changes and migration

• Rename uses of the former Axi4LiteMaster, AvalonMaster, WishboneMaster and their test-master/test-slave counterparts with the 32 suffix when the existing uint-based API and fixed-width interfaces must be preserved.
• New code should use the short configurable names and WriteWord, WriteMaskedWord, ReadWord, VerifyWord and VerifyMaskedWord operations.
• The earlier configurable development names prefixed with Generic are now the short public names.
• The AXI4-Lite opt-in parameter for a nonstandard 128-bit data path is named AllowNonStandardDataWidth.
• Data widths are 32, 64 or 128 bits. AXI4-Lite accepts 32 and 64 bits by default; 128 bits requires the explicit nonstandard-width opt-in.

Validation

• Package tests cover all three protocols at 32, 64 and 128 bits, fixed-width compatibility APIs, always-ready targets, timeout boundaries and every supported fixed-width bridge direction.
• The package does not claim clock-domain crossing, width conversion, burst or pipelined operation, or hardware timing/resource qualification.
