@section Preparation
84
 
85
Unpack the software and create a @emph{separate} directory in which to
86
build it:
87
 
88
@example
89
@kbd{tar jxf or1ksim-@value{VERSION}.tar.bz2}
90
@kbd{mkdir builddir_or1ksim}
91
@kbd{cd builddir_or1ksim}
92
@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
@kbd{../or1ksim-@value{VERSION}/configure --target=or32-uclinux ...}
106
@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
@emph{must} be specified, to allow the target tool chain to be
115
selected. If the tools have been installed using the standard OpenRISC
116
script, then this should be set to @code{or32-elf}.
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}.

@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

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

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

176
@cindex exclusive-OR immediate operand
177
Historically, @code{l.xori}, has sign extended its operand. This is
178
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
This flag causes Or1ksim to treat the immediate operand as unsigned (i.e
187
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 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.

@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,
237 124 jeremybenn
because they led to invalid behavior of Or1ksim. Those removed are:

@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
If set, this caused incorrect behavior. Whether or not flags are set is part
252
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}.

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.

328 82 jeremybenn
@value{VERSION}.  The OpenRISC tracker may be used to see the current
329
state of these issues and to raise new problems and feature requests.  It
330 19 jeremybenn
may be found at @url{http://www.opencores.org/ptracker.cgi/view/or1k/398}.
331
 
332
@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
The NPC is a read/write register, but after being written it clears the
340 82 jeremybenn
pipeline.  This means that if the processor is stalled, the value should
341 19 jeremybenn
subsequently read back as 0, until the processor is unstalled and able
342 82 jeremybenn
to refill its pipeline.  By default @value{OR1KSIM} always reports back the value
343 19 jeremybenn
of NPC, even when it has been written while stalled.
344
 
345
There is now an option, @code{--strict-npc}, which will enforce this
346 82 jeremybenn
behavior.  At some stage in the future it will become the default
347 19 jeremybenn
behavior, but for now it is an option, since its use will break GDB.
348
 
349
@item
350 82 jeremybenn
The memory components are given names in the configuration file.  However
351 19 jeremybenn
there is currently no way for @value{OR1KSIM} to report that name back to the
352
user (for example to identify which memory block corresponds to a
353
particular access).
354
 
355
@item
356
@value{OR1KSIM} allows the processor to be stalled (from the command
357 82 jeremybenn
line), even if there is no debugger present.  This seems to be a
358 19 jeremybenn
meaningless operation.
359
 
360
@item
361
@value{OR1KSIM} is not reentrant, so a program cannot instantiate
362 82 jeremybenn
multiple instances using the library.  This is clearly a problem when
363
considering multi-core applications.  However it stems from the original
364
design, and can only be fixed by a complete rewrite.  The entire source
365 19 jeremybenn
code uses static global constants liberally!
366
 
367
@item
368 104 jeremybenn
@cindex floating point support
369
There is no support for single precision floating point instructions in
370
@value{OR1KSIM} if configured in the CPU (@pxref{CPU Configuration, ,
371
CPU Configuration}).  These are implemented using the floating point
372
support in the host C library, which will usually be IEEE 745 compliant.
373
There is at present no support for double precision floating point
374
instructions, since these are meaningless with 32-bit registers.
375 19 jeremybenn
 
376 104 jeremybenn
Floating point support within OpenRISC is intended to follow IEEE 745,
377
which offers a degree of configurability. However at present the FPSCR
378
register is not supported, so there is no mechanism for configuring
379
floating point behavior. Thus the default functionality of the host C
380
library will be used.
381
 
382
@item
383
@cindex floating point multiply and add
384
@cindex lf.madd.s
385
The single precision floating point multiply and add instruction,
386
@code{lf.madd.s}, is not clearly specified in the original architectural
387
manual. User should consult the @cite{OpenRISC 1200 version 2
388
Supplementary Programmer's Reference Manual} for a specification of the
389
functionality implemented.

@cindex @code{--strict-npc}
477
In real hardware, setting the next program counter (NPC, SPR 16),
478 82 jeremybenn
flushes the processor pipeline.  The consequence of this is that until
479
the pipeline refills, reading the NPC will return zero.  This is typically
480 19 jeremybenn
the case when debugging, since the processor is stalled.
481
 
482
Historically, @value{OR1KSIM} has always returned the value of the NPC,
483 82 jeremybenn
irrespective of when it is changed.  If the @code{--strict-npc} option is
484
used, then @value{OR1KSIM} will mirror real hardware more accurately.  If the NPC
485 19 jeremybenn
is changed while the processor is stalled, subsequent reads of its value
486
will return 0 until the processor is unstalled.
487
 
488
This is not currently the default behavior, since tools such as GDB have
489 82 jeremybenn
been implemented assuming the historic @value{OR1KSIM} behavior.  However at some
490 19 jeremybenn
time in the future it will become the default.

@value{OR1KSIM} may be used as a static of dynamic library,
637 82 jeremybenn
@file{libsim.a} or @file{libsim.so}.  When compiling with the static
638 19 jeremybenn
library, the flag, @code{-lsim} should be added to the link command.
639
 
640
The header file @file{or1ksim.h} contains appropriate declarations of
641 82 jeremybenn
the functions exported by the @value{OR1KSIM} library.  These are:
642 19 jeremybenn
 
643 93 jeremybenn
@deftypefn {@file{or1ksim.h}} int or1ksim_init (const char
644
*@var{config_file}, const char *@var{image_file}, void *@var{class_ptr},
645
int (*@var{upr})(void *@var{class_ptr}, unsigned long int @var{addr},
646
unsigned char @var{mask}[], unsigned char @var{rdata}[], int
647
@var{data_len}), int (*@var{upw})(void *@var{class_ptr}, unsigned long
648
int @var{addr}, unsigned char @var{mask}[], unsigned char @var{wdata}[],
649
int @var{data_len}))
650 19 jeremybenn
 
651
The initialization function is supplied with the name of a
652
configuration file, @var{config_file}, an executable image, @var{image_file}, a pointer to the calling
653
class, @var{class_ptr} (since the library may be used from C++) and
654
two up-call functions, one for reads, @var{upr}, and one for writes,
655
@var{upw}.
656
 
657
@xref{Configuration, , Configuration}, for detailed information on
658
configuring @value{OR1KSIM} and the format of the configuration file.
659
 
660
@var{upw} is called for any write to an address external to the model
661
(determined by a @code{generic} section in the configuration
662 82 jeremybenn
file).  @var{upr} is called for any reads to an external address.  The
663 19 jeremybenn
@var{class_ptr} is passed back with these upcalls, allowing the
664
function to associate the call with the class which originally
665 93 jeremybenn
initialized the library.  Both @var{upw} and @var{upr} should return
666
zero on success and non-zero otherwise.  At the present time the meaning
667
of non-zero values is not defined but this may change in the future.
668 19 jeremybenn
 
669 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask} indicates which bytes in the data are to be written or
670 82 jeremybenn
read.  Bytes to be read/written should have 0xff set in
671 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask}.  Otherwise the byte should be zero.  The adddress,
672
@var{addr}, is the @emph{full} address, since the upcall function must
673
handle all generic devices, using the full address for decoding.
674 19 jeremybenn
 
675 93 jeremybenn
Endianness is not completely transparent, since @value{OR1KSIM} is
676
transferring byte vectors, not multi-byte values.
677 19 jeremybenn
 
678 93 jeremybenn
@quotation Caution
679
This is a change from version 0.3.0. It simplifies the interface, and
680
makes @value{OR1KSIM} more consistent with payload representation in
681
SystemC TLM 2.0.

685
The current implementation of Or1ksim always transfers single words (4

Depending on the parameter, the value may be a named value (an enumeration),
910
an integer (specified in any format acceptable in C) or a string in doubple

quotes.  For flag parameters, the value 1 is used to mean ``true'' or ``on''
912
and the value ``0'' to mean ``false'' or ``off''.  An example from a memory
913 19 jeremybenn
section shows each of these
914
 
915
@example
916
section memory
917
  type    = random
918
  pattern = 0x00
919
  name    = "FLASH"
920
  ...
921
end
922
@end example
923
 
924
Many parameters are optional and take reasonable default values if not
925 82 jeremybenn
specified.  However there are some parameters (for example the
926 19 jeremybenn
@code{ce} parameter in @code{@w{section memory}}) @emph{must} be
927
specified.
928
 
929
Subsections are introduced by a keyword, with a parameter value (no
930
@code{=} sign), and end with the same keyword prefixed by
931 82 jeremybenn
@code{end}.  Thus the ATA/ATAPI inteface (@code{@w{section ata}}) has a
932 19 jeremybenn
@code{device} subsection, thus:
933
 
934
@example
935
section ata
936
  ...
937
  device 0
938
    type    = 1
939
    file = "@var{filename}"
940
    ...
941
  enddevice
942
  ...
943
end
944
@end example
945
 
946
Some sections (for example @code{@w{section sim}}) should appear only
947 82 jeremybenn
once.  Others (for example @code{@w{section memory}} may appear
948 19 jeremybenn
multiple times.
949
 
950
Sections may be omitted, @emph{unless they contain parameters which
951 82 jeremybenn
are non-optional}.  If the section describes a part of the simulator
952 19 jeremybenn
which is optional (for example whether it has a UART), then that
953 82 jeremybenn
functionality will not be provided.  If the section describes a part of
954 19 jeremybenn
the simulator which is not optional (for example the CPU), then all the
955
parameters of that section will take their default values.
956
 
957
All optional parts of the functionality are always described by
958
sections including a @code{enabled} parameter, which can be set to 0
959
to ensure that functionality is explicitly omitted.
960
 
961
Even if a section is disabled, all its parameters will be read and
962 82 jeremybenn
stored.  This is helpful if the section is subsequently enabled from
963 19 jeremybenn
the @value{OR1KSIM} command line (@pxref{Interactive Command Line, ,
964
Interactive Command Line}).
965
 
966
@quotation Tip

968
components, with omitted functionality explicitly indicated by setting
969
the @code{enabled} parameter to 0

The user may choose whether or not to enable a memory controller. If a
1425
memory controller is enabled, then the standard OpenRISC C libraries
1426
will initialize it to expect 64MB memory blocks, and any memory
1427
declarations @emph{must} reflect this.  The section describing memory
1428
controller configuration describes the steps necessary for using
1429
smaller or larger memory sections (@pxref{Memory Controller

Configuration, , Memory Controller Configuration}).
1431
 
1432
If a memory controller is @emph{not} enabled, then the standard C
1433
library code will generate memory access errors.  The solution is to
1434
declare an additional writable memory block, mimicing the memory
1435

@quotation Caution
2043
The standard OpenRISC C libraries will initialize the memory

controller to expect 64MB memory blocks, and any memory declarations
2045
@emph{must} reflect this.
2046
 
2047
If smaller memory blocks are declared with a memory controller, then
2048
sufficient memory will not be allocated by @value{OR1KSIM}, but out of
2049
range memory accesses will not be trapped. For example declaring a
2050
memory section from 0-4MB with a memory controller enabled would mean
2051
that accesses between 4MB and 64MB would be permitted, but having no
2052
allocated memory would likely cause a segmentation fault.
2053

If the user is determined to use smaller memories with the memory

ensure the memory controller traps out-of-memory accesses.

The PS2 interface provided by @value{OR1KSIM} is not documented.  It
2563 19 jeremybenn
may be based on the PS2 project at OpenCores, and found in
2564 98 jeremybenn
the top level SVN directory, @file{ps2}.  However this project lacks
2565 82 jeremybenn
any documentation beyond its project webpage.  Since most PS2
2566 19 jeremybenn
interfaces follow the Intel i8042 standard, this is presumably what is
2567
expected with this device.
2568
 
2569
The implementation only provides for keyboard support, which is
2570 82 jeremybenn
modelled as a file of keystrokes.  There is no mouse support.
2571 19 jeremybenn
 
2572
@quotation Caution
2573
A standard i8042 device has two registers at addresses 0x60 (command)
2574 82 jeremybenn
and 0x64 (status).  Inspection of the code, suggests that the
2575 19 jeremybenn
@value{OR1KSIM} component places these registers at addresses 0x00 and
2576
0x04.
2577
 
2578
The port of Linux for the OpenRISC 1000, which runs on @value{OR1KSIM}
2579
implements the i8042 device driver, anticipating these registers
2580 82 jeremybenn
reside at their conventional address.  It seems unlikel that this code
2581 19 jeremybenn
will work.

@node Verification API
3136
@chapter Verification API (VAPI)
3137
 
3138
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
3139 82 jeremybenn
components of the simulation to be controlled externally.  The
3140 19 jeremybenn
interface is polled for new requests on each simulated clock
3141 82 jeremybenn
cycle.  Components within the simulator may send responses to such
3142 19 jeremybenn
requests.
3143
 
3144 82 jeremybenn
The inteface is an asynchronous duplex protocol.  On the request side
3145 19 jeremybenn
it provides for simple commands, known as VAPI IDs (a 32 bit integer),
3146 82 jeremybenn
with a single piece of data (also a 32 bit integer).  On the send side,
3147
it provides for sending a single VAPI ID and data.  However there is no
3148
explicit command-response structure.  Some components just accept
3149
requests (e.g.  to set values), some just generate sends (to report
3150 19 jeremybenn
values), and some do both.
3151
 
3152
Each component has a base ID (32 bit) and its commands will start from
3153 82 jeremybenn
that base ID.  This provides a simple partitioning of the command space
3154
amongst components.  Request commands will be directed to the component with
3155 19 jeremybenn
the closest base ID lower than the VAPI ID of the command.
3156
 
3157
Thus if there are two components with base IDs of 0x200 and 0x300, and
3158
a request with VAPI ID of 0x203 is received, it will be directed to
3159
the first component as its command #3.
3160
 
3161
The results of VAPI interactions are logged (by default in
3162
@file{vapi.log} unless an alternative is specified in @code{@w{section
3163
vapi}}).
3164

3172
Although the Debug Unit can specify a base VAPI ID, it is not used to
3173
send commands or receive requests.
3174
 
3175
Instead, if the base VAPI ID is set, all remote JTAG protocol exchanges are

logged in the VAPI log file.

@item @code{#include} headers
3328
All C source code files should include @file{config.h} before any
3329
other file.
3330
 
3331
This should be followed by inclusion of any system headers (but see
3332
the comments about portability and @file{port.h} below) and then by
3333
any @value{OR1KSIM} package headers.
3334
 
3335
If @file{port.h} is required, it should be the first package header to
3336
be included after the system headers.
3337
 
3338
All C source code and header files should directly include any system
3339 82 jeremybenn
or package header they depend on, i.e.  not rely on any other header

having already included it.  The two exceptions are

3368
@item @code{#include} files once only
3369
All include files should be protected by @code{#ifndef} to ensure
3370 82 jeremybenn
their definitions are only included once.  For instance a header file
3371 19 jeremybenn
@file{@var{x-y.h}} should surround its contents with:
3372
 
3373
@example
3374
#ifndef X_Y__H
3375
#define X_Y__H
3376
 
3377
<body of the include file>
3378
 
3379
#endif  /* X_Y__H */
3380
@end example
3381
 
3382
@item Avoid @code{typedef}
3383
The GNU coding style for C does not have a clear way to distinguish
3384 82 jeremybenn
between user type name and user variables.  For this reason
3385 19 jeremybenn
@code{typedef} should be avoided except for the most ubiquitous user
3386 82 jeremybenn
defined types.  This makes the code much easier to read.
3387 19 jeremybenn
 
3388
There are some @code{typedef} declarations in the @command{argtable2}
3389
library and the @acronym{ELF} and @acronym{COFF} headers, because this
3390
code is taken from other places.
3391
 
3392
Within @value{OR1KSIM} legacy uses of @code{typedef} have largely been
3393
purged, except in the Custom Unit Compiler (@pxref{CUC Configuration,
3394
, Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration}).
3395
 
3396
The remaining uses of @code{typedef} occur in two places:
3397
 
3398
@itemize @bullet
3399
 
3400
@item
3401
@file{port/port.h} defines types to replace those in header files that
3402
are not available (character functions, string duplication, integer
3403
types).
3404
 
3405
@file{cpu/or1k/arch.h} defines types for the key @value{OR1KSIM}
3406
entities: addresses (@code{oraddr_t}), unsigned register values
3407
(@code{uorreg_t}) and signed register (@code{orreg_t}) values.
3408
 
3409
@end itemize
3410
 
3411
Where new types are defined, they should appear in one of these two
3412 82 jeremybenn
files as appropriate.  @value{OR1KSIM} specific types appearing in
3413 19 jeremybenn
@file{arch.h} should always have the suffix @file{_h}.
3414
 
3415
@item Don't begin names with underscore
3416
Names beginning with @code{_} are intended to be part of the C
3417 82 jeremybenn
infrastructure.  They should not be used in the simulator code.
3418 19 jeremybenn
 
3419
@item Keep Non-global top level entities static
3420
All top level entities (functions, variables), which are not
3421 82 jeremybenn
explicitly part of a global interface should be declared static.  This
3422 19 jeremybenn
ensures that unwanted connections are not inadvertently built across
3423
the program.
3424
 
3425
@item Use of @code{inline}
3426 82 jeremybenn
Code should not be declared @code{inline}.  Modern compilers can work
3427 19 jeremybenn
out for themselves what is best in this respect.
3428
 
3429
@item Initialization
3430 82 jeremybenn
All data structures should be explicitly initialized.  In particular
3431 19 jeremybenn
code should not rely on static data structures being initialized to
3432
zero.
3433
 
3434
The rationale is that in future static data structures may become
3435 82 jeremybenn
dynamic.  This has been a particular source of bugs in @value{OR1KSIM}
3436 19 jeremybenn
historically.
3437
 
3438
A specific case is with new peripherals, which should always include a
3439
@code{start} function to pre-initialize all configuration parameters
3440
to sensible defaults
3441
 
3442
@item Configuration Validation
3443
All configuration values should be validated, preferably when
3444
encountered, if not when the @code{section} is closed, or otherwise
3445
at run time when the parameter is first used.

@value{OR1KSIM} now includes a regression test suite for both standalone
3584
and library usage as described earlier (@pxref{Build and Install,
3585
, Building and Installing}).  Running the tests requires that the
3586
OpenRISC toolchain and DejaGNU are both installed.
3587
 
3588
Tests are written using @command{expect}, a derivative of TCL.
3589
Documentation of DejaGnu, @command{expect} and TCL are freely available
3590
on the Web.  The Embecosm Application Note 8, @cite{Howto: Using DejaGnu
3591
for Testing: A Simple Introduction}
3592
(@uref{http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean8.html}) provides a concise
3593
introduction.
3594
 
3595
All test code is found in the @file{testsuite} directory.  The key
3596
files and directories used are as follows.
3597
 
3598
@table @code
3599
@item global-conf.exp
3600
@cindex DejaGnu configuration
3601
This is the global DejaGNU configuration file used to set up parameters
3602
common to all tests.  If the user has the environment varialbe
3603
@env{DEJAGNU} defined, it will be used instead, but this is not
3604
recommended.
3605
 
3606
@item Makefile.am
3607
@cindex test make file
3608
@cindex make file for tests
3609
This is the top level @command{automake} file for the testsuite.  The
3610
only changes likely to be needed here is additional local cleanup of
3611
files created by new tests.
3612
 
3613
@item README
3614
@cindex test README
3615
This contains details of all the tests
3616
 
3617
@item config
3618
@cindex DejaGnu board configurations
3619
This contains DejaGnu board configurations.  Since the tests are
3620
generally run on a Unix host, this should just contain @file{Unix.exp}.
3621
 
3622
@item lib
3623
@cindex DejaGnu tool specific configuration
3624
This contains DejaGnu tool specific configurations.  ``Tool'' has a
3625
specific meaning in DejaGNU, referring just to a grouping of tests.  In
3626
this case there are two such ``tools'', ``or1ksim'' and ``libsim''
3627
for tests of the standalone tool and tests of the library.
3628
 
3629
Corresponding to this, there are two tool specific configuration files,
3630
@file{or1ksim.exp} and @file{libsim.exp}.  These contain @command{expect}/TCL
3631
procedures for common use among the tests.
3632
 
3633
@item libsim.tests
3634
@itemx or1ksim.tests
3635
@cindex DejaGNU tests directories
3636
These are the directories of tests of the Or1ksim library.  They also include
3637
@value{OR1KSIM} configuration files and each has a @file{Makefile.am} file.
3638
@file{Makefile.am} should be updated whenever files are added to this
3639
directory, to ensure they are included in the distribution.
3640
 
3641
@item test-code
3642
@cindex host test code
3643
@cindex test code for host
3644
These are all the test programs to be compiled on the host (each in its
3645
own directory).  In general these are programs to support testing of the
3646
library, and build various programs linking in the library.
3647
 
3648
@item test-code
3649
@cindex target test code
3650
@cindex test code for target
3651
These are all the test programs to be compiled with the OpenRISC tool
3652
chain to run with either standalone @value{OR1KSIM} or the library. This
3653
directory includes its own @file{configure.ac}, since it must set up a
3654
separate tool chain based on the target, not the host.
3655
 
3656
@end table
3657
 
3658
To add a new test needs the following steps.
3659
 
3660
@itemize @bullet
3661
 
3662
@item
3663
Put new host C code in its own directory within @file{test-code}. Add
3664
the directory to the existing @file{Makefile.am} in the @file{test-code}
3665
directory and create a @file{Makefile.am} in the new directory to
3666
drive building the test program(s). Don't forget to add the new
3667
@file{Makefile} to the top level @file{configure.ac} so it gets generated. Not
3668
all tests require code here.
3669
 
3670
@item
3671
Put new target C code in its own directory within
3672
@file{test-code-or1k}. Once again modify & create
3673
@file{Makefile.am}. this time though modify the @file{configure.ac} in
3674
the @file{test-code-or1k} so the @file{Makefile} gets generated. The
3675
existing programs provide examples to start from, including custom
3676
linker scripts where needed.
3677
 
3678
@item
3679
Add one or more tests and configuration files to the relevant ``tool''
3680
test directory. Use the existing tests as templates. They make heavy use
3681
of the @command{expect}/TCL procedures in the @file{config} directory to
3682
facilitate driving the tests.
