\section{Structure}
3
The Processor Local Bus interface for this core is structured as in Figure~\ref{PLBstructure}. The core acts as a slave
4
to the PLB bus. The PLB v4.6 Slave\cite{XilinxPLB} logic translates the interface to a lower level IP Interconnect
5
Interface (IPIC).
6
This is then used to connect the core internal components to. The user logic contains the exponentiation core and the
7
control register for the core its control inputs and outputs. An internal interrupt controller\cite{XilinxIntr} handles
8
the outgoing interrupt requests and a software reset module is provided to be able to reset the IP core at runtime. This
9
bus interface is created using the ``Create or Import Peripheral'' wizard from Xilinx Platform Studio.\\

The complete IP core's memory space can be controlled. As can be seen, the operand, modulus and FIFO memory space can be
84
chosen separately from the IP core's memory space which hold the registers for control, software reset and interrupt
85
control. The core's memory space must have a minimum width of 1K byte for all registers to be accessible. For the FIFO
86
memory space, a minimum width of 4 byte is needed, since the FIFO is only 32 bit wide. The memory space width for the
87
operands and the modulus need a minimum width equal to the total multiplier width.\\
88
 
89
There are 4 parameters to configure the multiplier. These values define the width of the multiplier operands and the
90
number of pipeline stages. If \verb|C_SPLIT_PIPELINE| is false, only operands with a width of\\\verb|C_NR_BITS_TOTAL| are
91
valid. Else if \verb|C_SPLIT_PIPELINE| is true, 3 operand widths can be supported:
92
\begin{itemize}
93
  \item the length of the full pipeline ($C\_NR\_BITS\_TOTAL$)
94
  \item the length of the lower pipeline ($\frac{C\_NR\_BITS\_TOTAL}{C\_NR\_STAGES\_TOTAL} \cdot C\_NR\_STAGES\_LOW $)
95
  \item the length of the higher pipeline ($\frac{C\_NR\_BITS\_TOTAL}{C\_NR\_STAGES\_TOTAL} \cdot (C\_NR\_STAGES\_TOTAL - C\_NR\_STAGES\_LOW$)
96
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Software reset register (offset = 0x0100)}
276
This is a register with write only access, and provides the possibility to reset the IP core from software by writing
277
0x0000000A to this address. The reset affects the full IP core, thus resetting the control register, interrupt controller,
278
the multiplier pipeline, FIFO and control logic of the core.
279
 
280
\subsection{Global interrupt enable register (offset = 0x021C)}
281
This register contains a single defined bit in the high-order position. The GIE bit enables or disables all interrupts
282
form the IP core.\\

\subsection{Interrupt status register (offset = 0x0220)}
299
Read-only register that contains the status of the core interrupts. Currently there is only one common interrupt from
300
the core that is asserted when a multiplication/exponentiation is done, FIFO is full, on FIFO push error or memory write
301
collision.\\

\section{Interfacing the core's RAM}
333
Special attention must be taken when writing data to the operands and modulus. The least significant bit of the data has be on the lowest
334
address and the most significant bit on the highest address. A write to the RAM has to happen 1 word at a time, byte writes are not
335
supported due to the structure of the RAM.
336
 
337
\section{Handling interrupts}
338
When the embedded processor receives an interrupt signal from this core, it is up to the controlling software to
339
determine the source of the interrupt by reading out the interrupt flag of the control register.
