AXI接口虽然经常使用，很多同学可能并不清楚Vivado里面也集成了AXI的Verification IP，可以当做AXI的master、pass through和slave，本次内容我们看下AXI VIP当作master时如何使用。
新建Vivado工程，并新建block design，命名为：axi_demo
新建axi vip，参数设置如下，第一个参数设置为Master，其他都保持默认，当然如果可以根据自己的实际需求作改动，比如id位宽，数据位宽等等。
再添加AXI BRAM Controller和Block Memory Generator：
地址分配如下：0xc000_0000
生成ip的各种文件：
新建仿真的tb_top文件，需要注意，文件类型是system verilog。
仿真代码放到文章末尾，代码中中导入的axi_demo_axi_vip_0_0_pkg，就是下面axi vip的component_name再加上后缀_pkg，后面的mst_agent也是component_name加上后缀 _mst_t
import axi_demo_axi_vip_0_0_pkg::*;
axi_demo_axi_vip_0_0_mst_t mst_agent;
运行仿真：
将axi vip的M-AXI添加到波形窗口中：
可以看到，我们一开始向地址0xc0001000写入0x12345678，又发起一次读操作，可以将该数据读出。
有同学可能习惯用vcs来仿真，下篇文章我们再用vcs+verdi来仿真vivado的axi vip。
