Problem

Each column is one rising clock edge. AWVALID and AWADDR are driven by the source, while AWREADY is driven by the receiver. Rule to apply: While AWVALID=1 and AWREADY=0, AWVALID must remain high and AWADDR must remain unchanged until the address handshake. Which channel stability assertion fails first?

Waveform for AXI Write Address Changes While Stalled. Signals: AWVALID, AWREADY, AWADDR. Numbered markers identify sampled columns.
Read the sampled columns from left to right, then test each choice against the stated timing rule.
