1. MEC and ERC32 emulation
3
 
4
The file 'erc32.c' contains a model of the MEC, 512 K rom and 4 M ram.
5
 
6
The following paragraphs outline the implemented MEC functions.
7
 
8
1.1 UARTs
9
 
10
The UARTs are connected to two pseudo-devices, /dev/ttypc and /dev/ttypd.
11
The following registers are implemeted:
12
 
13
- UART A RX and TX register     (0x01f800e0)
14
- UART B RX and TX register     (0x01f800e4)
15
- UART status register          (0x01f800e8)
16
 
17
To speed up simulation, the UARTs operate at approximately 115200 baud.
18
The UARTs generate interrupt 4 and 5 after each received or transmitted
19
character.  The error interrupt is generated if overflow occurs - other
20
errors cannot occure.
21
 
22
1.2 Real-time clock and general pupose timer A
23
 
24
The following registers are implemeted:
25
 
26
- Real-time clock timer                         (0x01f80080, read-only)
27
- Real-time clock scaler program register       (0x01f80084, write-only)
28
- Real-time clock counter program register      (0x01f80080, write-only)
29
 
30
- Genearl pupose timer                          (0x01f80088, read-only)
31
- Real-time clock scaler program register       (0x01f8008c, write-only)
32
- General purpose timer counter prog. register  (0x01f80088, write-only)
33
 
34
- Timer control register                        (0x01f80098, write-only)
35
 
36
1.3 Interrupt controller
37
 
38
The interrupt controller is implemented as in the MEC specification with
39
the exception of the interrupt shape register. Since external interrupts
40
are not possible, the interrupt shape register is not implemented. The
41
only internal interrupts that are generated are the real-time clock,
42
the general purpose timer and UARTs. However, all 15 interrupts
43
can be tested via the interrupt force register.
44
 
45
The following registers are implemeted:
46
 
47
- Interrupt pending register                   (0x01f80048, read-only)
48
- Interrupt mask register                      (0x01f8004c, read-write)
49
- Interrupt clear register                     (0x01f80050, write-only)
50
- Interrupt force register                     (0x01f80054, read-write)
51
 
52
1.4 Breakpoint and watchpoint register
53
 
54
The breakpoint and watchpoint functions are implemented as in the MEC
55
specification. Traps are correctly generated, and the system fault status
56
register is updated accordingly. Implemeted registers are:
57
 
58
- Debug control register                        (0x01f800c0, read-write)
59
- Breakpoint register                           (0x01f800c4, write-only)
60
- Watchpoint register                           (0x01f800c8, write-only)
61
- System fault status register                  (0x01f800a0, read-write)
62
- Firts failing address register                (0x01f800a4, read-write)
63

65
1.5 Memory interface
66
 
67
The following memory areas are valid for the ERC32 simulator:
68
 
69
0x00000000 - 0x00080000         ROM (512 Kbyte, loaded at start-up)
70
0x02000000 - 0x02400000         RAM (4 Mbyte, initialised to 0x0)
71
0x01f80000 - 0x01f800ff         MEC registers
72
 
73
Access to unimplemented MEC registers or non-existing memory will result
74
in a memory exception trap. However, access to unimplemented MEC registers
75
in the area 0x01f80000 - 0x01f80100 will not cause a memory exception trap.
76
The written value will be stored in a register and can be read back. It
77
does however not affect the function in any way.
78
 
79
The memory configuartion register is used to define available memory
80
in the system. The fields RSIZ and PSIZ are used to set RAM and ROM
81
size, the remaining fields are not used.  NOTE: after reset, the MEC
82
is set to decode 4 Kbyte of ROM and 256 Kbyte of RAM. The memory
83
configuration register has to be updated to reflect the available memory.
84
 
85
The waitstate configuration register is used to generate waitstates.
86
This register must also be updated with the correct configuration after
87
reset.
88
 
89
The memory protection scheme is implemented - it is enabled through bit 3
90
in the MEC control register.
91
 
92
The following registers are implemeted:
93
 
94
- MEC control register (bit 3 only)             (0x01f80000, read-write)
95
- Memory control register                       (0x01f80010, read-write)
96
- Waitstate configuration register              (0x01f80018, read-write)
97
- Memory access register 0                      (0x01f80020, read-write)
98
- Memory access register 1                      (0x01f80024, read-write)
99
 
100
1.6 Watchdog
101
 
102
The watchdog is implemented as in the specification. The input clock is
103
always the system clock regardsless of WDCS bit in mec configuration
104
register.
105
 
106
The following registers are implemeted:
107
 
108
- Watchdog program and acknowledge register     (0x01f80060, write-only)
109
- Watchdog trap door set register               (0x01f80064, write-only)
110
 
111
1.7 Software reset register
112
 
113
Implemented as in the specification (0x01f800004, write-only).
114
 
115
1.8 Power-down mode
116
 
117
The power-down register (0x01f800008) is implemented as in the specification.
118
However, if the simulator event queue is empty, power-down mode is not
119
entered since no interrupt would be generated to exit from the mode. A
120
Ctrl-C in the simulator window will exit the power-down mode.
121
 
122
1.9 MEC control register
123
 
124
The following bits are implemented in the MEC control register:
125
 
126
Bit     Name    Function
127
 
128
1       SWR     Soft reset enable
129
3       APR     Access protection enable
130
