@section Preparation
84
 
85
Unpack the software and create a @emph{separate} directory in which to
86
build it:
87
 
88
@example
89 440 jeremybenn
tar jxf or1ksim-@value{VERSION}.tar.bz2
90
mkdir builddir_or1ksim
91
cd builddir_or1ksim
92 19 jeremybenn
@end example
93
 
94
@node Configuring the Build
95
@section Configuring the Build
96
 
97
Configure the software using the @command{configure} script in the
98
main directory.
99
 
100
The most significant argument is @code{--target}, which should specify
101 82 jeremybenn
the OpenRISC 1000 32-bit architecture.  If this argument is omitted, it will
102 19 jeremybenn
default to OpenRISC 1000 32-bit with a warning
103
 
104
@example
105 442 julius
../or1ksim-@value{VERSION}/configure --target=or32-elf ...
106 19 jeremybenn
@end example
107
 
108
There are several other options available, many of which are standard
109 82 jeremybenn
to GNU @command{configure} scripts.  Use @kbd{configure --help} to see
110
all the options.  The most useful is @code{--prefix} to specify a
111 19 jeremybenn
directory for installation of the tools.
112
 
113 104 jeremybenn
For testing (using @command{make check}), the @code{--target} parameter
114 385 jeremybenn
may be specified, to allow the target tool chain to be selected.  If not
115
specified, it will default to @code{or32-elf}, which is the same prefix
116
used with the standard OpenRISC toolchain installation script.
117 19 jeremybenn
 
118 104 jeremybenn
A number of @value{OR1KSIM} specific features in the simulator do
119
require enabling at configuration.  These include
120
 
121 19 jeremybenn
@table @code
122
@item --enable-profiling
123
@cindex @code{--enable-profiling}
124
@itemx --disable-profiling
125
@cindex @code{--disable-profiling}
126
If enabled, @value{OR1KSIM} is compiled for profiling with
127 82 jeremybenn
@command{gprof}.  This is disabled by default.  Only really of value for
128 19 jeremybenn
developers of @value{OR1KSIM}.

137
@value{OR1KSIM} has developed to improve functionality and
138 82 jeremybenn
performance.  This feature allows three versions of @value{OR1KSIM} to be built
139 19 jeremybenn
 
140
@table @code
141
 
142
@item --enable-execution=simple
143
Build the original simple interpreting simulator
144
 
145
@item --enable-execution=complex
146 82 jeremybenn
Build a more complex interpreting simulator.  Experiments suggest this
147
is 50% faster than the simple simulator.  This is the default.
148 19 jeremybenn
 
149
@item --enable-execution=dynamic
150 82 jeremybenn
Build a dynamically compiling simulator.  This is the way many modern ISS are
151
built.  This represents a work in progress.  Currently @value{OR1KSIM} will
152 19 jeremybenn
compile, but segfaults if configured with this option.
153
 
154
@end table
155
 
156
The default is @code{--enable-execution=complex}.

163
@cindex enabling Ethernet via socket
164
If enabled, this option allows the Ethernet to be simulated by connecting via a
165 82 jeremybenn
socket (the alternative reads and writes, from and to files).  This
166 19 jeremybenn
must then be configured using the relevant fields in the
167 82 jeremybenn
@code{ethernet} section of the configuration file.  @xref{Ethernet
168 19 jeremybenn
Configuration, , Ethernet Configuration}.
169
 
170
The default is for this to be disabled.

@cindex @code{--disable-unsigned-xori}
176
@cindex exclusive-OR immediate operand
177 346 jeremybenn
Historically, @code{l.xori}, has sign extended its operand.  This is
178 127 jeremybenn
inconsistent with the other logical opcodes (@code{l.andi},
179
@code{l.ori}), but in the absence of @code{l.not}, it allows a register
180
to be inverted in a single instruction using:
181
 
182
@example
183
@code{l.xori  rD,rA,-1}
184
@end example
185
 
186 440 jeremybenn
This flag causes @value{OR1KSIM} to treat the immediate operand as unsigned (i.e
187 127 jeremybenn
to zero-extend rather than sign-extend).
188
 
189
The default is to sign-extend, so that existing code will continue to
190
work.
191
 
192
@quotation Caution
193
The GNU compiler tool chain makes heavy use of this instruction.  Using
194
unsigned behavior will require the compiler to be modified accordingly.
195
 
196
This option is provided for experimentation.  A future version of
197
OpenRISC may adopt this more consistent behavior and also provide a
198
@code{l.not} opcode.

@cindex register over time statistics

If enabled, this option allows statistics to be collected to analyse

@cindex Argtable2 debugging
216 82 jeremybenn
This is a feature of the Argtable2 package used to process arguments.  If
217
enabled, some debugging features are turned on in Argtable2.  It is provided for
218 19 jeremybenn
completeness, but there is no reason why this feature should ever be needed by
219
any @value{OR1KSIM} user.

225
@cindex all tests enabled
226
@cindex tests, all enabled.
227
Some of the tests (at the time of writing just one) will not compile
228
without error.  If enabled with this flag, all test programs will be
229
compiled with @command{make check}.
230
 
231
This flag is intended for those working on the test package, who wish to
232
get the missing test(s) working.

236 112 jeremybenn
A number of configuration flags have been removed since version 0.3.0,
237 440 jeremybenn
because they led to invalid behavior of @value{OR1KSIM}.  Those removed are:
238 112 jeremybenn
 
239
@table @code
240
 
241 124 jeremybenn
@item --enable-arith-flag

243
@itemx --disable-arith-flag
244
@cindex @code{--disable-arith-flag}
245
@cindex flag setting by instructions
246
If enabled, this option caused certain instructions to set the flag
247
(@code{F} bit) in the supervision register if the result were zero.
248
The instructions affected by this were @code{l.add}, @code{l.addc},
249
@code{l.addi}, @code{l.and} and @code{l.andi}.
250
 
251 346 jeremybenn
If set, this caused incorrect behavior.  Whether or not flags are set is part
252 124 jeremybenn
of the OpenRISC 1000 architectural specification.  The only flags which
253
should set this are the ``set flag'' instructions: @code{l.sfeq},
254
@code{l.sfeqi}, @code{l.sfges}, @code{l.sfgesi}, @code{l.sfgeu},
255
@code{l.sfgeui}, @code{l.sfgts}, @code{l.sfgtsi}, @code{l.sfgtu},
256
@code{l.sfgtui}, @code{l.sfles}, @code{l.sflesi}, @code{l.sfleu},
257
@code{l.sfleui}, @code{l.sflts}, @code{l.sfltsi}, @code{l.sfltu},
258
@code{l.sfltui}, @code{l.sfne} and @code{l.sfnei}.

@itemx --disable-ov-flag
263
@cindex @code{--disable-ov-flag}
264
@cindex overflow flag setting by instructions
265 124 jeremybenn
This flag caused certain instructions to set the overflow flag.  If not,
266
those instructions would not set the overflow flat.  The instructions
267
affected by this were @code{l.add}, @code{l.addc}, @code{l.addi},
268
@code{l.and}, @code{l.andi}, @code{l.div}, @code{l.divu}, @code{l.mul},
269
@code{l.muli}, @code{l.or}, @code{l.ori}, @code{l.sll}, @code{l.slli},
270
@code{l.srl}, @code{l.srli}, @code{l.sra}, @code{l.srai}, @code{l.sub},
271
@code{l.xor} and @code{l.xori}.
272 112 jeremybenn
 
273
This guaranteed incorrect behavior.  The OpenRISC 1000 architecture
274
specification defines which flags are set by which instructions.
275
 
276
Within the above list, the arithmetic instructions (@code{l.add},
277
@code{l.addc}, @code{l.addi}, @code{l.div}, @code{l.divu}, @code{l.mul},
278
@code{l.muli} and @code{l.sub}), together with @code{l.addic} which is
279
missed out, set the overflow flag.  All the others (@code{l.and},
280
@code{l.andi}, @code{l.or}, @code{l.ori}, @code{l.sll}, @code{l.slli},
281
@code{l.srl}, @code{l.srli}, @code{l.sra}, @code{l.srai}, @code{l.xor}
282
and @code{l.xori}) do not.

329 346 jeremybenn
The following issues are long standing and unlikely to be fixed in
330 440 jeremybenn
@value{OR1KSIM} in the near future.
331 346 jeremybenn
 
332 19 jeremybenn
@itemize @bullet
333
@item
334
The Supervision Register Little Endian Enable (LEE) bit is
335 82 jeremybenn
ignored.  @value{OR1KSIM} can be built for either little endian or big endian
336 19 jeremybenn
use, but that behavior cannot be changed dynamically.
337
 
338
@item
339
@value{OR1KSIM} is not reentrant, so a program cannot instantiate
340 82 jeremybenn
multiple instances using the library.  This is clearly a problem when
341
considering multi-core applications.  However it stems from the original
342
design, and can only be fixed by a complete rewrite.  The entire source
343 19 jeremybenn
code uses static global constants liberally!

This is mainly intended for use when @value{OR1KSIM} is used without a

504
In real hardware, setting the next program counter (NPC, SPR 16),
505 82 jeremybenn
flushes the processor pipeline.  The consequence of this is that until
506
the pipeline refills, reading the NPC will return zero.  This is typically
507 19 jeremybenn
the case when debugging, since the processor is stalled.
508
 
509
Historically, @value{OR1KSIM} has always returned the value of the NPC,
510 82 jeremybenn
irrespective of when it is changed.  If the @code{--strict-npc} option is
511
used, then @value{OR1KSIM} will mirror real hardware more accurately.  If the NPC
512 19 jeremybenn
is changed while the processor is stalled, subsequent reads of its value
513
will return 0 until the processor is unstalled.
514
 
515
This is not currently the default behavior, since tools such as GDB have
516 346 jeremybenn
been implemented assuming the historic @value{OR1KSIM} behavior.
517
However at some time in the future it will become the default.

execution and shows the state at that time.

Passing a signal @code{SIGUSR1} while the simulator is running toggles

trace generation. This can be done with the following command, assuming

@value{OR1KSIM}'s executable name is @code{or32-elf-sim}:
686 442 julius
 
687
@example
688
pkill -SIGUSR1 or32-elf-sim
689
@end example
690
 
691 443 jeremybenn
This is useful in the case where trace output is desired after a

694 442 julius
 
695 443 jeremybenn

696
can be used if @value{OR1KSIM}'s process number is known. Use the
697
following to determine the process ID of the @code{or32-elf-sim} and
698
then send the @code{SIGUSR1} command to toggle execution trace
699
generation:

traced.  This may be controlled by two options, @code{--trace-physical}

746 346 jeremybenn
The initialization function is supplied with a vector of arguments,
747
which are interpreted as arguments to the standalone version (see
748
@pxref{Standalone Simulator, , Standalone Simulator}), a pointer to the
749
calling class, @var{class_ptr} (since the library may be used from C++)
750
and two up-call functions, one for reads, @var{upr}, and one for writes,
751 19 jeremybenn
@var{upw}.
752
 
753
@var{upw} is called for any write to an address external to the model
754
(determined by a @code{generic} section in the configuration
755 82 jeremybenn
file).  @var{upr} is called for any reads to an external address.  The
756 19 jeremybenn
@var{class_ptr} is passed back with these upcalls, allowing the
757
function to associate the call with the class which originally
758 93 jeremybenn
initialized the library.  Both @var{upw} and @var{upr} should return
759
zero on success and non-zero otherwise.  At the present time the meaning
760
of non-zero values is not defined but this may change in the future.
761 19 jeremybenn
 
762 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask} indicates which bytes in the data are to be written or
763 82 jeremybenn
read.  Bytes to be read/written should have 0xff set in
764 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask}.  Otherwise the byte should be zero.  The adddress,
765
@var{addr}, is the @emph{full} address, since the upcall function must
766
handle all generic devices, using the full address for decoding.
767 19 jeremybenn
 
768 346 jeremybenn
Endianness is not a concern, since @value{OR1KSIM} is transferring byte
769
vectors, not multi-byte values.

1049
 
1050
When an Ethernet peripheral is configured (@pxref{Ethernet
1051
Configuration, , Ethernet Configuration}), one option is to tunnel
1052
traffic through a TUN/TAP interface.  The low level TAP interface is used
1053
to tunnel raw Ethernet datagrams.
1054
 
1055
The TAP interface can then be connected to a physical Ethernet through a
1056
bridge, allowing the @value{OR1KSIM} model to connect to a physical
1057
network.  This is particularly when @value{OR1KSIM} is running the
1058
OpenRISC Linux kernel image.
1059
 
1060
This section explains how to set up a bridge for use by @value{OR1KSIM}. It does
1061
require superuser access to the host machine (or at least the relevant
1062
network capabilities). A system administrator can modify these
1063
guidelines so they are executed on reboot if appropriate.

1079
TUN/TAP devices can be created dynamically, but this requires superuser
1080
privileges (or at least @code{CAP_NET_ADMIN} capability).  The solution
1081
is to create a persistent TAP device.  This can be done using either
1082
@command{openvpn} or @command{tunctl}.  In either case the package must
1083
be installed on the host system.  Using @command{openvpn}, the following
1084
would set up a TAP interface for a specified user and group.
1085
 
1086
@example
1087
openvpn --mktun --dev tap@emph{n} --user @emph{username} --group @emph{groupname}

@subsection Establishing a Bridge

@cindex bridge setup
1093
@cindex Ethernet bridge setup
1094
 
1095
A bridge is a ``virtual'' local area network interfaces, subsuming two or more
1096
existing network interfaces.  In this case we will bridge the physical
1097
Ethernet interface of the host with the TAP interface that will be used
1098
by @value{OR1KSIM}.
1099
 
1100
The Ethernet and TAP must lose their own individual IP addresses (by
1101
setting them to 0.0.0.0) and are replaced by the IP address of the
1102
bridge interface. To do this we use the @command{bridge-utils} package,
1103
which must be installed on the host system. These commands are require
1104
superuser privileges or @code{CAP_NET_ADMIN} capability. To create a new
1105
interface @code{br@emph{n}} the following commands are appropriate.
1106
 
1107
@example
1108
brctl addbr br@emph{n}
1109
brctl addif br@emph{n} eth@emph{x}
1110
brctl addif br@emph{n} tap@emph{y}
1111
 
1112
ifconfig eth@emph{x} 0.0.0.0 promisc up
1113
ifconfig tap@emph{y} 0.0.0.0 promisc up
1114
 
1115
dhclient br@emph{n}
1116
@end example
1117
 
1118
The last command instructs the bridge to obtain its IP address, netmask,
1119
broadcast address, gateway and nameserver information using DHCP.  In a
1120
network without DHCP it should be replaced by @command{ifconfig} to set
1121
a static IP address, netmask and broadcast address.
1122
 
1123
@quotation Note
1124
This will leave a spare dhclient process running in the background,
1125
which should be killed for tidiness. There is a technique to avoid this
1126
using @command{omshell}, but that is beyond the scope of this guide.
1127

1142
@example
1143
iptables -A INPUT -i tap@emph{y} -j ACCEPT

@subsection Disabling Ethernet Filtering

Some systems may have ethernet filtering enabled (@command{ebtables},
1152

1153

1154
 
1155
The easiest way to disable this is by writing zero to all
1156
@file{bridge-nf-*} entries in @file{/proc/sys/net/bridge}. As superuser
1157
the following commands will achieve this.
1158

@cindex Linux (OpenRISC) and Ethernet
1168
 
1169
The main use of this style of Ethernet interface to @value{OR1KSIM} is when
1170
running the OpenRISC Linux kernel with BusyBox. The following commands
1171
in the BusyBox console window will configure the Ethernet interface
1172
(assumed to be @code{eth0}) and bring it up with a DHCP assigned
1173
address.
1174
 
1175
@example
1176
ifconfig eth0
1177
ifup eth0
1178
@end example
1179
 
1180
At this stage interface to IP addresses will work correctly.
1181
 
1182
For DNS to work the BusyBox system needs to know where to find a
1183
nameserver.  Under BusyBox, @command{udhcp} does not configure
1184
@file{/etc/resolv.conf} automatically.
1185
 
1186
The solution is to duplicate the nameserver entry from the
1187
@file{/etc/resolv.conf} file of the host on the BusyBox system. A
1188
typical file might be as follows:
1189
 
1190
@example
1191
@code{nameserver 192.168.0.1}
1192
@end example
1193
 
1194
It is convenient to make this permanent within the Linux initramfs. Add
1195
the file as @code{arch/openrisc/support/initramfs/etc/resolv.conf}
1196
within the Linux source tree and rebuild @code{vmlinux}. It will then be
1197
present automatically.
1198
 
1199
One of the most useful functions that is possible is to mount
1200
the host file system through NFS. For example, from the BusyBox console:
1201
 
1202
@example
1203
mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.0.60:/home /mnt
1204
@end example
1205
 
1206
Another useful technique is to telnet into the BusyBox system from the
1207
host. This is particularly valuable when a console process locks up,
1208
since the @command{xterm} console will not recognize ctrl-C. Instead the
1209
rogue process can be killed from a telnet connection.
1210
 
1211
@node Tearing Down a Bridge
1212
@subsection Tearing Down a Bridge
1213
 
1214
There is little reason why a bridge should ever need to be torn down,
1215
but if desired, the following commands will achieve the effect.
1216
 
1217
@example
1218
ifconfig br@emph{n} down
1219
brctl delbr br@emph{n}
1220
 
1221
dhclient eth@emph{x}
1222
@end example
1223
 
1224
As before this will leave a spare @command{dhclient} process in the
1225
background which should be killed.
1226
 
1227
If desired the TAP interface can be deleted using
1228
 
1229
@example
1230
openvpn --rmtun -dev tap@emph{y}
1231
@end example
1232
 
1233
@quotation Caution
1234
The TAP interface should not be in use when running this command. For

example any OpenRISC Linux/BusyBox sessions should be closed first.

1344

@node Configuration File Syntax
1346
@subsection Configuration File Syntax
1347
 
1348
The configuration file is divided into a series of sections, with the general
1349
form:
1350
 
1351
@example
1352
section @var{section_name}
1353
 
1354
  <contents>...
1355
 
1356
end
1357
@end example
1358
 
1359
Sections may also have sub-sections within them (currently only the
1360
ATA/ATAPI disc interface uses this).
1361
 
1362
Within a section, or sub-section are a series of parameter assignments, one
1363
per line, withe the general form
1364
 
1365
@example
1366
  @var{parameter} = @var{value}
1367
@end example
1368
 
1369
Depending on the parameter, the value may be a named value (an enumeration),
1370
an integer (specified in any format acceptable in C) or a string in doubple
1371 82 jeremybenn
quotes.  For flag parameters, the value 1 is used to mean ``true'' or ``on''
1372
and the value ``0'' to mean ``false'' or ``off''.  An example from a memory
1373 19 jeremybenn
section shows each of these
1374
 
1375
@example
1376
section memory
1377
  type    = random
1378
  pattern = 0x00
1379
  name    = "FLASH"
1380
  ...
1381
end
1382
@end example
1383
 
1384
Many parameters are optional and take reasonable default values if not
1385 82 jeremybenn
specified.  However there are some parameters (for example the
1386 19 jeremybenn
@code{ce} parameter in @code{@w{section memory}}) @emph{must} be
1387
specified.
1388
 
1389
Subsections are introduced by a keyword, with a parameter value (no
1390
@code{=} sign), and end with the same keyword prefixed by
1391 82 jeremybenn
@code{end}.  Thus the ATA/ATAPI inteface (@code{@w{section ata}}) has a
1392 19 jeremybenn
@code{device} subsection, thus:
1393
 
1394
@example
1395
section ata
1396
  ...
1397
  device 0
1398
    type    = 1
1399
    file = "@var{filename}"
1400
    ...
1401
  enddevice
1402
  ...
1403
end
1404
@end example
1405
 
1406
Some sections (for example @code{@w{section sim}}) should appear only
1407 82 jeremybenn
once.  Others (for example @code{@w{section memory}} may appear
1408 19 jeremybenn
multiple times.
1409
 
1410
Sections may be omitted, @emph{unless they contain parameters which
1411 82 jeremybenn
are non-optional}.  If the section describes a part of the simulator
1412 19 jeremybenn
which is optional (for example whether it has a UART), then that
1413 82 jeremybenn
functionality will not be provided.  If the section describes a part of
1414 19 jeremybenn
the simulator which is not optional (for example the CPU), then all the
1415
parameters of that section will take their default values.
1416
 
1417
All optional parts of the functionality are always described by
1418
sections including a @code{enabled} parameter, which can be set to 0
1419
to ensure that functionality is explicitly omitted.
1420
 
1421
Even if a section is disabled, all its parameters will be read and
1422 82 jeremybenn
stored.  This is helpful if the section is subsequently enabled from
1423 19 jeremybenn
the @value{OR1KSIM} command line (@pxref{Interactive Command Line, ,
1424
Interactive Command Line}).
1425
 
1426
@quotation Tip
1427
It generally clearer to have sections describing @emph{all}
1428
components, with omitted functionality explicitly indicated by setting
1429
the @code{enabled} parameter to 0

The user may choose whether or not to enable a memory controller.  If a

memory controller is enabled, then appropriate initalization code must
1892
be provided.  The section describing memory controller configuration

The @dfn{uClibc} startup code initalizes a memory controller, assumed to

be mapped at 0x93000000.  If a memory controller is @emph{not} enabled,
1899
then the standard C library code will generate memory access errors.

@item unknown

The memory values are not initialized (i.e.  left ``unknown'').  This

Set the seed for the random number generator to @var{value}.  This only
1970 19 jeremybenn
has any effect for memory type @code{random}.
1971
 
1972
The default value is -1,
1973
which means the seed will be set from a call to the @code{time}

run.  The simulator prints out the seed used in this case, allowing

1983
memory type @code{pattern}.  The least significant 8 bits of this value

@quotation Tip
1988
The default value, is equivalent to setting the memory @code{type} to

be @code{zero}.  If that is what is intended, then using
1990 19 jeremybenn
@code{type=zero} explicitly is better than using @code{type=pattern}

@cindex @code{size} (memory configuration)
2002 82 jeremybenn
Set the size of the memory block to be @var{value} bytes.  This should be a

multiple of 4 (i.e.  word aligned).  The default value is 1024.
2004 19 jeremybenn
 
2005
@quotation Note
2006
When allocating memory, the simulator will allocate the nearest

notice memory misses in any part of the memory between @var{value} and
2009
the amount allocated.
2010
 
2011
As a consequence users are strongly recommended to specify memory
2012 82 jeremybenn
sizes that are an exact power of 2.  If some other amount of memory is
2013 19 jeremybenn
required, it should be specified as separate, contiguous blocks, each

Controller IP Core} by Rudolf Usselmann, which can be found in the
2483 82 jeremybenn
@file{doc} subdirectory.  It is a memory mapped component, which

resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.

advised not to use the memory controller in the current release.

library.
2499 98 jeremybenn
 
2500 385 jeremybenn
The standard @dfn{uClibc} library assumes a memory controller
2501
mapped at 0x93000000 and will initialize the memory controller to expect
2502
64MB memory blocks, and any memory declarations @emph{must} reflect
2503
this.
2504
 
2505 98 jeremybenn
If smaller memory blocks are declared with a memory controller, then
2506
sufficient memory will not be allocated by @value{OR1KSIM}, but out of
2507 346 jeremybenn
range memory accesses will not be trapped.  For example declaring a
2508 98 jeremybenn
memory section from 0-4MB with a memory controller enabled would mean
2509
that accesses between 4MB and 64MB would be permitted, but having no
2510
allocated memory would likely cause a segmentation fault.
2511
 
2512
If the user is determined to use smaller memories with the memory
2513
controller, then custom initialization code must be provided, to
2514
ensure the memory controller traps out-of-memory accesses.

2964
 
2965
The VGA controller has a 12-bit address bus, with 7 32-bit registers, at
2966
addresses 0x000 through 0x018, and two color lookup tables at
2967 82 jeremybenn
addresses 0x800 through 0xfff.  The hardware cursor registers are not

The PS2 interface provided by @value{OR1KSIM} is not documented.  It
3055 19 jeremybenn
may be based on the PS2 project at OpenCores, and found in
3056 98 jeremybenn
the top level SVN directory, @file{ps2}.  However this project lacks
3057 82 jeremybenn
any documentation beyond its project webpage.  Since most PS2
3058 19 jeremybenn
interfaces follow the Intel i8042 standard, this is presumably what is
3059
expected with this device.
3060
 
3061
The implementation only provides for keyboard support, which is
3062 82 jeremybenn
modelled as a file of keystrokes.  There is no mouse support.
3063 19 jeremybenn
 
3064
@quotation Caution
3065
A standard i8042 device has two registers at addresses 0x60 (command)
3066 82 jeremybenn
and 0x64 (status).  Inspection of the code, suggests that the
3067 19 jeremybenn
@value{OR1KSIM} component places these registers at addresses 0x00 and
3068
0x04.
3069
 
3070
The port of Linux for the OpenRISC 1000, which runs on @value{OR1KSIM}
3071
implements the i8042 device driver, anticipating these registers
3072 82 jeremybenn
reside at their conventional address.  It seems unlikel that this code
3073 19 jeremybenn
will work.

@node Verification API
3633
@chapter Verification API (VAPI)
3634
 
3635
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
3636 82 jeremybenn
components of the simulation to be controlled externally.  The
3637 19 jeremybenn
interface is polled for new requests on each simulated clock
3638 82 jeremybenn
cycle.  Components within the simulator may send responses to such
3639 19 jeremybenn
requests.
3640
 
3641 82 jeremybenn
The inteface is an asynchronous duplex protocol.  On the request side
3642 19 jeremybenn
it provides for simple commands, known as VAPI IDs (a 32 bit integer),
3643 82 jeremybenn
with a single piece of data (also a 32 bit integer).  On the send side,
3644
it provides for sending a single VAPI ID and data.  However there is no
3645
explicit command-response structure.  Some components just accept
3646
requests (e.g.  to set values), some just generate sends (to report
3647 19 jeremybenn
values), and some do both.
3648
 
3649
Each component has a base ID (32 bit) and its commands will start from
3650 82 jeremybenn
that base ID.  This provides a simple partitioning of the command space
3651
amongst components.  Request commands will be directed to the component with
3652 19 jeremybenn
the closest base ID lower than the VAPI ID of the command.
3653
 
3654
Thus if there are two components with base IDs of 0x200 and 0x300, and
3655
a request with VAPI ID of 0x203 is received, it will be directed to
3656
the first component as its command #3.
3657
 
3658
The results of VAPI interactions are logged (by default in
3659
@file{vapi.log} unless an alternative is specified in @code{@w{section
3660
vapi}}).
3661

@item Debug Unit

3669
Although the Debug Unit can specify a base VAPI ID, it is not used to
3670
send commands or receive requests.

@section Coding Conventions for @value{OR1KSIM}
3813
 
3814
This chapter provides some guidelines for coding, to facilitate
3815
extensions to @value{OR1KSIM}
3816
 
3817
@table @emph
3818
 
3819
@item GNU Coding Standard
3820
Code should follow the GNU coding standard for C
3821 82 jeremybenn
(@url{http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/}.  If in doubt, put your code
3822 19 jeremybenn
through the @command{indent} program.
3823
 
3824
@item @code{#include} headers
3825
All C source code files should include @file{config.h} before any
3826
other file.
3827
 
3828
This should be followed by inclusion of any system headers (but see
3829
the comments about portability and @file{port.h} below) and then by
3830
any @value{OR1KSIM} package headers.
3831
 
3832
If @file{port.h} is required, it should be the first package header to
3833
be included after the system headers.
3834
 
3835
All C source code and header files should directly include any system
3836 82 jeremybenn
or package header they depend on, i.e.  not rely on any other header
3837
having already included it.  The two exceptions are
3838 19 jeremybenn
 
3839
@enumerate
3840
@item
3841
All header files may assume that @file{config.h} has already been
3842
included.
3843
 
3844
@item
3845
System headers which impose portability problems should be included by
3846
using the package header @file{port.h}, rather than the system headers
3847 82 jeremybenn
themselves.  This is the case for code requiring
3848 19 jeremybenn
 
3849
@itemize @bullet
3850
 
3851
@item
3852
@code{strndup} (from @file{string.h})
3853
 
3854
@item
3855
Integer types (@code{int@var{n}_t}, @code{uint@var{n}_t}) (from
3856
@file{inttypes.h}).
3857
 
3858
@item
3859
@code{isblank} (from @file{ctype.h})
3860
 
3861
@end itemize
3862
 
3863
@end enumerate
3864
 
3865
@item @code{#include} files once only
3866
All include files should be protected by @code{#ifndef} to ensure
3867 82 jeremybenn
their definitions are only included once.  For instance a header file
3868 19 jeremybenn
@file{@var{x-y.h}} should surround its contents with:
3869
 
3870
@example
3871
#ifndef X_Y__H
3872
#define X_Y__H
3873
 
3874
<body of the include file>
3875
 
3876
#endif  /* X_Y__H */
3877
@end example
3878
 
3879
@item Avoid @code{typedef}
3880
The GNU coding style for C does not have a clear way to distinguish
3881 82 jeremybenn
between user type name and user variables.  For this reason
3882 19 jeremybenn
@code{typedef} should be avoided except for the most ubiquitous user
3883 82 jeremybenn
defined types.  This makes the code much easier to read.
3884 19 jeremybenn
 
3885
There are some @code{typedef} declarations in the @command{argtable2}
3886
library and the @acronym{ELF} and @acronym{COFF} headers, because this
3887
code is taken from other places.
3888
 
3889
Within @value{OR1KSIM} legacy uses of @code{typedef} have largely been
3890
purged, except in the Custom Unit Compiler (@pxref{CUC Configuration,
3891
, Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration}).
3892
 
3893
The remaining uses of @code{typedef} occur in two places:
3894
 
3895
@itemize @bullet
3896
 
3897
@item
3898
@file{port/port.h} defines types to replace those in header files that
3899
are not available (character functions, string duplication, integer
3900
types).
3901
 
3902
@file{cpu/or1k/arch.h} defines types for the key @value{OR1KSIM}
3903
entities: addresses (@code{oraddr_t}), unsigned register values
3904
(@code{uorreg_t}) and signed register (@code{orreg_t}) values.
3905
 
3906
@end itemize
3907
 
3908
Where new types are defined, they should appear in one of these two
3909 82 jeremybenn
files as appropriate.  @value{OR1KSIM} specific types appearing in
3910 19 jeremybenn
@file{arch.h} should always have the suffix @file{_h}.
3911
 
3912
@item Don't begin names with underscore
3913
Names beginning with @code{_} are intended to be part of the C
3914 82 jeremybenn
infrastructure.  They should not be used in the simulator code.
3915 19 jeremybenn
 
3916
@item Keep Non-global top level entities static
3917
All top level entities (functions, variables), which are not
3918 82 jeremybenn
explicitly part of a global interface should be declared static.  This
3919 19 jeremybenn
ensures that unwanted connections are not inadvertently built across
3920
the program.
3921
 
3922
@item Use of @code{inline}
3923 82 jeremybenn
Code should not be declared @code{inline}.  Modern compilers can work
3924 19 jeremybenn
out for themselves what is best in this respect.
3925
 
3926
@item Initialization
3927 82 jeremybenn
All data structures should be explicitly initialized.  In particular
3928 19 jeremybenn
code should not rely on static data structures being initialized to
3929
zero.
3930
 
3931
The rationale is that in future static data structures may become
3932 82 jeremybenn
dynamic.  This has been a particular source of bugs in @value{OR1KSIM}
3933 19 jeremybenn
historically.
3934
 
3935
A specific case is with new peripherals, which should always include a
3936
@code{start} function to pre-initialize all configuration parameters
3937
to sensible defaults
3938
 
3939
@item Configuration Validation
3940
All configuration values should be validated, preferably when
3941
encountered, if not when the @code{section} is closed, or otherwise
3942
at run time when the parameter is first used.

@cindex interrupts
4066
@findex report_interrupt
4067
@findex clear_interrupt
4068
@findex mtspr
4069
An internal peripheral can model the effect of an interrupt being
4070
asserted by calling @code{report_interrupt}.  This is used for both edge
4071
and level sensitive interrupts.
4072
 
4073
The effect is to set the corresponding bit in the PICSR SPR and to queue
4074
an interrupt exception to take place after the current instruction
4075
completes execution.
4076
 
4077
Externally, the different interrupts require different mechanisms for
4078
clearing.  Level sensitive interrupts should be cleared by deasserting
4079
the interrupt line, edge sensitive interrupts by clearing the
4080
corresponding bit in the PICSR SPR.
4081
 
4082
Internally this amounts to the same thing (clearing the PICSPR bit), so
4083
a single function is provided, @code{clear_interrupt}.  Note however that
4084
when level sensitive interrupts are configured, PICSR is read only, and
4085
can only be cleared by calling @code{clear_interrupt}.  Using the two
4086
functions provided will ensure the peripheral works correctly whichever
4087
type of interrupt is used.
4088
 
4089
@quotation Note
4090
Until an interrupt is cleared, all subsequent interrupts are ignored
4091
with a warning.

@value{OR1KSIM} now includes a regression test suite for both standalone
4112
and library usage as described earlier (@pxref{Build and Install,
4113
, Building and Installing}).  Running the tests requires that the
4114
OpenRISC toolchain and DejaGNU are both installed.
4115
 
4116
Tests are written using @command{expect}, a derivative of TCL.
4117
Documentation of DejaGnu, @command{expect} and TCL are freely available
4118
on the Web.  The Embecosm Application Note 8, @cite{Howto: Using DejaGnu
4119
for Testing: A Simple Introduction}
4120
(@uref{http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean8.html}) provides a concise
4121
introduction.

files and directories used are as follows.
4125
 
4126
@table @code
4127
@item global-conf.exp
4128
@cindex DejaGnu configuration
4129
This is the global DejaGNU configuration file used to set up parameters
4130
common to all tests.  If the user has the environment varialbe
4131
@env{DEJAGNU} defined, it will be used instead, but this is not

@cindex test make file
4136
@cindex make file for tests
4137
This is the top level @command{automake} file for the testsuite.  The

only changes likely to be needed here is additional local cleanup of
4139
files created by new tests.

@item config
4146
@cindex DejaGnu board configurations
4147
This contains DejaGnu board configurations.  Since the tests are
4148
generally run on a Unix host, this should just contain @file{Unix.exp}.
4149
 
4150
@item lib
4151
@cindex DejaGnu tool specific configuration
4152
This contains DejaGnu tool specific configurations.  ``Tool'' has a
4153
specific meaning in DejaGNU, referring just to a grouping of tests.  In
4154
this case there are two such ``tools'', ``or1ksim'' and ``libsim''
4155
for tests of the standalone tool and tests of the library.
4156
 
4157
Corresponding to this, there are two tool specific configuration files,
4158
@file{or1ksim.exp} and @file{libsim.exp}.  These contain @command{expect}/TCL
4159
procedures for common use among the tests.

These are the directories of tests of the @value{OR1KSIM} library.  They

4166
@file{Makefile.am} file.  @file{Makefile.am} should be updated whenever

4173
These are all the test programs to be compiled on the host (each in its

own directory).  In general these are programs to support testing of the
4175
library, and build various programs linking in the library.
4176

chain to run with either standalone @value{OR1KSIM} or the library.
4182
This directory includes its own @file{configure.ac}, since it must set

up a separate tool chain based on the target, not the host.

To add a new test needs the following steps.
4188
 
4189
@itemize @bullet
4190
 
4191
@item
4192 346 jeremybenn
Put new host C code in its own directory within @file{test-code}.  Add
4193 104 jeremybenn
the directory to the existing @file{Makefile.am} in the @file{test-code}
4194 346 jeremybenn
directory and create a @file{Makefile.am} in the new directory to drive
4195
building the test program(s).  Don't forget to add the new
4196
@file{Makefile} to the top level @file{configure.ac} so it gets
4197
generated. Not all tests require code here.
4198 104 jeremybenn
 
4199
@item
4200 346 jeremybenn
Put new target C code in its own directory within @file{test-code-or1k}.
4201
Once again modify & create @file{Makefile.am}.  This time modify the
4202
@file{configure.ac} in the @file{test-code-or1k} so the @file{Makefile}
4203
gets generated.  The existing programs provide examples to start from,
4204
including custom linker scripts where needed.
4205 104 jeremybenn
 
4206
@item
4207
Add one or more tests and configuration files to the relevant ``tool''
4208 346 jeremybenn
test directory.  Use the existing tests as templates.  They make heavy
