Design of SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) Protocol with DO-254 Compliance

Abstract

The objective is to design the SPI protocol compliant with avionic hardware design standards (D0-254). This is to make sure that the protocol follows the most stringent standards so as to develop a fool proof design that would be highly reliable and would not fail under conventional circumstances. The significance of this project is designing the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol in the DO-254 flow which is an industry standard used for the hardware process. Using DO-254 standards SPI is coded in Verilog. Single Master-Single Slave, Independent Slave configuration, Daisy Chain configuration all the three designs are designed following the rule sets of DO254. It is verified using the assertion based verification (ABV) or System Verilog Assertions (SVA).
