@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}.
129
 
130
@item --enable-execution=simple
131
@itemx --enable-execution=complex
132
@cindex @code{--enable-execution}
133
@cindex simple model
134
@cindex complex model
135
@value{OR1KSIM} has developed to improve functionality and
136 82 jeremybenn
performance.  This feature allows three versions of @value{OR1KSIM} to be built
137 19 jeremybenn
 
138
@table @code

140
@item --enable-execution=simple
141
Build the original simple interpreting simulator
142
 
143
@item --enable-execution=complex
144 82 jeremybenn
Build a more complex interpreting simulator.  Experiments suggest this
145
is 50% faster than the simple simulator.  This is the default.
146 19 jeremybenn
 
147
@end table
148
 
149
The default is @code{--enable-execution=complex}.

@cindex Ethernet via socket, enabling
156
@cindex enabling Ethernet via socket
157
If enabled, this option allows the Ethernet to be simulated by connecting via a
158 82 jeremybenn
socket (the alternative reads and writes, from and to files).  This
159 19 jeremybenn
must then be configured using the relevant fields in the
160 82 jeremybenn
@code{ethernet} section of the configuration file.  @xref{Ethernet
161 19 jeremybenn
Configuration, , Ethernet Configuration}.
162
 
163
The default is for this to be disabled.

@cindex @code{--disable-unsigned-xori}
169
@cindex exclusive-OR immediate operand
170 346 jeremybenn
Historically, @code{l.xori}, has sign extended its operand.  This is
171 127 jeremybenn
inconsistent with the other logical opcodes (@code{l.andi},
172
@code{l.ori}), but in the absence of @code{l.not}, it allows a register
173
to be inverted in a single instruction using:
174
 
175
@example
176
@code{l.xori  rD,rA,-1}
177
@end example
178
 
179 440 jeremybenn
This flag causes @value{OR1KSIM} to treat the immediate operand as unsigned (i.e
180 127 jeremybenn
to zero-extend rather than sign-extend).
181
 
182
The default is to sign-extend, so that existing code will continue to
183
work.
184
 
185
@quotation Caution
186
The GNU compiler tool chain makes heavy use of this instruction.  Using
187
unsigned behavior will require the compiler to be modified accordingly.
188
 
189
This option is provided for experimentation.  A future version of
190
OpenRISC may adopt this more consistent behavior and also provide a
191
@code{l.not} opcode.

199
@cindex register over time statistics
200
If enabled, this option allows statistics to be collected to analyse
201 82 jeremybenn
register access over time.  The default is for this to be disabled.

@cindex Argtable2 debugging
209 82 jeremybenn
This is a feature of the Argtable2 package used to process arguments.  If
210
enabled, some debugging features are turned on in Argtable2.  It is provided for
211 19 jeremybenn
completeness, but there is no reason why this feature should ever be needed by
212
any @value{OR1KSIM} user.

218
@cindex all tests enabled
219
@cindex tests, all enabled.
220
Some of the tests (at the time of writing just one) will not compile
221
without error.  If enabled with this flag, all test programs will be
222
compiled with @command{make check}.
223
 
224
This flag is intended for those working on the test package, who wish to
225
get the missing test(s) working.

@end table
228
 
229 112 jeremybenn
A number of configuration flags have been removed since version 0.3.0,
230 440 jeremybenn
because they led to invalid behavior of @value{OR1KSIM}.  Those removed are:
231 112 jeremybenn
 
232
@table @code
233
 
234 124 jeremybenn
@item --enable-arith-flag

236
@itemx --disable-arith-flag
237
@cindex @code{--disable-arith-flag}
238
@cindex flag setting by instructions
239
If enabled, this option caused certain instructions to set the flag
240
(@code{F} bit) in the supervision register if the result were zero.
241
The instructions affected by this were @code{l.add}, @code{l.addc},
242
@code{l.addi}, @code{l.and} and @code{l.andi}.
243
 
244 346 jeremybenn
If set, this caused incorrect behavior.  Whether or not flags are set is part
245 124 jeremybenn
of the OpenRISC 1000 architectural specification.  The only flags which
246
should set this are the ``set flag'' instructions: @code{l.sfeq},
247
@code{l.sfeqi}, @code{l.sfges}, @code{l.sfgesi}, @code{l.sfgeu},
248
@code{l.sfgeui}, @code{l.sfgts}, @code{l.sfgtsi}, @code{l.sfgtu},
249
@code{l.sfgtui}, @code{l.sfles}, @code{l.sflesi}, @code{l.sfleu},
250
@code{l.sfleui}, @code{l.sflts}, @code{l.sfltsi}, @code{l.sfltu},
251
@code{l.sfltui}, @code{l.sfne} and @code{l.sfnei}.

@itemx --disable-ov-flag
256
@cindex @code{--disable-ov-flag}
257
@cindex overflow flag setting by instructions
258 124 jeremybenn
This flag caused certain instructions to set the overflow flag.  If not,
259
those instructions would not set the overflow flat.  The instructions
260
affected by this were @code{l.add}, @code{l.addc}, @code{l.addi},
261
@code{l.and}, @code{l.andi}, @code{l.div}, @code{l.divu}, @code{l.mul},
262
@code{l.muli}, @code{l.or}, @code{l.ori}, @code{l.sll}, @code{l.slli},
263
@code{l.srl}, @code{l.srli}, @code{l.sra}, @code{l.srai}, @code{l.sub},
264
@code{l.xor} and @code{l.xori}.
265 112 jeremybenn
 
266
This guaranteed incorrect behavior.  The OpenRISC 1000 architecture
267
specification defines which flags are set by which instructions.
268
 
269
Within the above list, the arithmetic instructions (@code{l.add},
270
@code{l.addc}, @code{l.addi}, @code{l.div}, @code{l.divu}, @code{l.mul},
271
@code{l.muli} and @code{l.sub}), together with @code{l.addic} which is
272
missed out, set the overflow flag.  All the others (@code{l.and},
273
@code{l.andi}, @code{l.or}, @code{l.ori}, @code{l.sll}, @code{l.slli},
274
@code{l.srl}, @code{l.srli}, @code{l.sra}, @code{l.srai}, @code{l.xor}
275
and @code{l.xori}) do not.

322 346 jeremybenn
The following issues are long standing and unlikely to be fixed in
323 440 jeremybenn
@value{OR1KSIM} in the near future.
324 346 jeremybenn
 
325 19 jeremybenn
@itemize @bullet
326
@item
327
The Supervision Register Little Endian Enable (LEE) bit is
328 82 jeremybenn
ignored.  @value{OR1KSIM} can be built for either little endian or big endian
329 19 jeremybenn
use, but that behavior cannot be changed dynamically.
330
 
331
@item
332
@value{OR1KSIM} is not reentrant, so a program cannot instantiate
333 82 jeremybenn
multiple instances using the library.  This is clearly a problem when
334
considering multi-core applications.  However it stems from the original
335
design, and can only be fixed by a complete rewrite.  The entire source
336 19 jeremybenn
code uses static global constants liberally!

This is mainly intended for use when @value{OR1KSIM} is used without a
470 346 jeremybenn
configuration file, to allow just the processor and memory to be set
471
up.  This is the equivalent of specifying a configuration memory section
472
with @code{baseaddr = 0} and @code{size = @var{size}} and all other
473
parameters taking their default value.
474

497
In real hardware, setting the next program counter (NPC, SPR 16),
498 82 jeremybenn
flushes the processor pipeline.  The consequence of this is that until
499
the pipeline refills, reading the NPC will return zero.  This is typically
500 19 jeremybenn
the case when debugging, since the processor is stalled.
501
 
502
Historically, @value{OR1KSIM} has always returned the value of the NPC,
503 82 jeremybenn
irrespective of when it is changed.  If the @code{--strict-npc} option is
504
used, then @value{OR1KSIM} will mirror real hardware more accurately.  If the NPC
505 19 jeremybenn
is changed while the processor is stalled, subsequent reads of its value
506
will return 0 until the processor is unstalled.
507
 
508
This is not currently the default behavior, since tools such as GDB have
509 346 jeremybenn
been implemented assuming the historic @value{OR1KSIM} behavior.
510
However at some time in the future it will become the default.

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}:
679 442 julius

@example
681
pkill -SIGUSR1 or32-elf-sim
682
@end example
683
 
684 443 jeremybenn
This is useful in the case where trace output is desired after a

687 442 julius
 
688 443 jeremybenn

689
can be used if @value{OR1KSIM}'s process number is known. Use the
690
following to determine the process ID of the @code{or32-elf-sim} and
691
then send the @code{SIGUSR1} command to toggle execution trace
692
generation:

The initialization function is supplied with a vector of arguments,
740
which are interpreted as arguments to the standalone version (see
741
@pxref{Standalone Simulator, , Standalone Simulator}), a pointer to the
742
calling class, @var{class_ptr} (since the library may be used from C++)
743
and two up-call functions, one for reads, @var{upr}, and one for writes,
744 19 jeremybenn
@var{upw}.
745
 
746
@var{upw} is called for any write to an address external to the model
747
(determined by a @code{generic} section in the configuration
748 82 jeremybenn
file).  @var{upr} is called for any reads to an external address.  The
749 19 jeremybenn
@var{class_ptr} is passed back with these upcalls, allowing the
750
function to associate the call with the class which originally
751 93 jeremybenn
initialized the library.  Both @var{upw} and @var{upr} should return
752
zero on success and non-zero otherwise.  At the present time the meaning
753
of non-zero values is not defined but this may change in the future.
754 19 jeremybenn
 
755 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask} indicates which bytes in the data are to be written or
756 82 jeremybenn
read.  Bytes to be read/written should have 0xff set in
757 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask}.  Otherwise the byte should be zero.  The adddress,
758
@var{addr}, is the @emph{full} address, since the upcall function must
759
handle all generic devices, using the full address for decoding.
760 19 jeremybenn
 
761 346 jeremybenn
Endianness is not a concern, since @value{OR1KSIM} is transferring byte
762
vectors, not multi-byte values.

1042
 
1043
When an Ethernet peripheral is configured (@pxref{Ethernet
1044
Configuration, , Ethernet Configuration}), one option is to tunnel
1045
traffic through a TUN/TAP interface.  The low level TAP interface is used
1046
to tunnel raw Ethernet datagrams.
1047
 
1048
The TAP interface can then be connected to a physical Ethernet through a
1049
bridge, allowing the @value{OR1KSIM} model to connect to a physical
1050
network.  This is particularly when @value{OR1KSIM} is running the
1051
OpenRISC Linux kernel image.
1052
 
1053
This section explains how to set up a bridge for use by @value{OR1KSIM}. It does
1054
require superuser access to the host machine (or at least the relevant
1055
network capabilities). A system administrator can modify these
1056
guidelines so they are executed on reboot if appropriate.

1072
TUN/TAP devices can be created dynamically, but this requires superuser
1073
privileges (or at least @code{CAP_NET_ADMIN} capability).  The solution
1074
is to create a persistent TAP device.  This can be done using either
1075
@command{openvpn} or @command{tunctl}.  In either case the package must
1076
be installed on the host system.  Using @command{openvpn}, the following
1077
would set up a TAP interface for a specified user and group.
1078
 
1079
@example
1080
openvpn --mktun --dev tap@emph{n} --user @emph{username} --group @emph{groupname}

@subsection Establishing a Bridge

@cindex bridge setup
1086
@cindex Ethernet bridge setup
1087
 
1088
A bridge is a ``virtual'' local area network interfaces, subsuming two or more
1089
existing network interfaces.  In this case we will bridge the physical
1090
Ethernet interface of the host with the TAP interface that will be used
1091
by @value{OR1KSIM}.
1092
 
1093
The Ethernet and TAP must lose their own individual IP addresses (by
1094
setting them to 0.0.0.0) and are replaced by the IP address of the
1095
bridge interface. To do this we use the @command{bridge-utils} package,
1096
which must be installed on the host system. These commands are require
1097
superuser privileges or @code{CAP_NET_ADMIN} capability. To create a new
1098
interface @code{br@emph{n}} the following commands are appropriate.
1099
 
1100
@example
1101
brctl addbr br@emph{n}
1102
brctl addif br@emph{n} eth@emph{x}
1103
brctl addif br@emph{n} tap@emph{y}
1104
 
1105
ifconfig eth@emph{x} 0.0.0.0 promisc up
1106
ifconfig tap@emph{y} 0.0.0.0 promisc up
1107
 
1108
dhclient br@emph{n}
1109
@end example
1110
 
1111
The last command instructs the bridge to obtain its IP address, netmask,
1112
broadcast address, gateway and nameserver information using DHCP.  In a
1113
network without DHCP it should be replaced by @command{ifconfig} to set
1114
a static IP address, netmask and broadcast address.
1115
 
1116
@quotation Note
1117
This will leave a spare dhclient process running in the background,
1118
which should be killed for tidiness. There is a technique to avoid this
1119
using @command{omshell}, but that is beyond the scope of this guide.
1120
@end quotation
1121
 
1122

Firewall rules should be added to ensure traffic flows freely through

1133
appropriate.
1134
 
1135
@example
1136
iptables -A INPUT -i tap@emph{y} -j ACCEPT

@subsection Disabling Ethernet Filtering

1144
Some systems may have ethernet filtering enabled (@command{ebtables},
1145
@command{bridge-nf}, @command{arptables}) which will stop traffic
1146
flowing through the bridge.
1147
 
1148
The easiest way to disable this is by writing zero to all
1149
@file{bridge-nf-*} entries in @file{/proc/sys/net/bridge}. As superuser
1150
the following commands will achieve this.
1151

@cindex Linux (OpenRISC) and Ethernet
1161
 
1162
The main use of this style of Ethernet interface to @value{OR1KSIM} is when
1163
running the OpenRISC Linux kernel with BusyBox. The following commands
1164
in the BusyBox console window will configure the Ethernet interface
1165
(assumed to be @code{eth0}) and bring it up with a DHCP assigned
1166
address.
1167
 
1168
@example
1169
ifconfig eth0
1170
ifup eth0
1171
@end example
1172
 
1173
At this stage interface to IP addresses will work correctly.
1174
 
1175
For DNS to work the BusyBox system needs to know where to find a
1176
nameserver.  Under BusyBox, @command{udhcp} does not configure
1177
@file{/etc/resolv.conf} automatically.
1178
 
1179
The solution is to duplicate the nameserver entry from the
1180
@file{/etc/resolv.conf} file of the host on the BusyBox system. A
1181
typical file might be as follows:
1182
 
1183
@example
1184
@code{nameserver 192.168.0.1}
1185
@end example
1186
 
1187
It is convenient to make this permanent within the Linux initramfs. Add
1188
the file as @code{arch/openrisc/support/initramfs/etc/resolv.conf}
1189
within the Linux source tree and rebuild @code{vmlinux}. It will then be
1190
present automatically.
1191
 
1192
One of the most useful functions that is possible is to mount
1193
the host file system through NFS. For example, from the BusyBox console:
1194
 
1195
@example
1196
mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.0.60:/home /mnt
1197
@end example
1198
 
1199
Another useful technique is to telnet into the BusyBox system from the
1200
host. This is particularly valuable when a console process locks up,
1201
since the @command{xterm} console will not recognize ctrl-C. Instead the
1202
rogue process can be killed from a telnet connection.
1203
 
1204
@node Tearing Down a Bridge
1205
@subsection Tearing Down a Bridge
1206
 
1207
There is little reason why a bridge should ever need to be torn down,
1208
but if desired, the following commands will achieve the effect.
1209
 
1210
@example
1211
ifconfig br@emph{n} down
1212
brctl delbr br@emph{n}
1213
 
1214
dhclient eth@emph{x}
1215
@end example
1216
 
1217
As before this will leave a spare @command{dhclient} process in the
1218
background which should be killed.
1219
 
1220
If desired the TAP interface can be deleted using
1221
 
1222
@example
1223
openvpn --rmtun -dev tap@emph{y}
1224
@end example
1225
 
1226
@quotation Caution
1227
The TAP interface should not be in use when running this command. For
1228
example any OpenRISC Linux/BusyBox sessions should be closed first.

@value{OR1KSIM} is configured through a configuration file.  This is specified
1329 19 jeremybenn
through the @code{-f} parameter to the @value{OR1KSIM} command, or passed as a
1330 82 jeremybenn
string when initializing the @value{OR1KSIM} library.  If no file is specified,
1331
the default @file{sim.cfg} is used.  The file is looked for first in the
1332 224 jeremybenn
current directory, then in the @file{$HOME/.or1ksim} directory of the user.

1359

@node Configuration File Syntax
1361
@subsection Configuration File Syntax
1362
 
1363
The configuration file is divided into a series of sections, with the general
1364
form:
1365
 
1366
@example
1367
section @var{section_name}
1368
 
1369
  <contents>...
1370
 
1371
end
1372
@end example
1373
 
1374
Sections may also have sub-sections within them (currently only the
1375
ATA/ATAPI disc interface uses this).
1376
 
1377
Within a section, or sub-section are a series of parameter assignments, one
1378
per line, withe the general form
1379
 
1380
@example
1381
  @var{parameter} = @var{value}
1382
@end example
1383
 
1384
Depending on the parameter, the value may be a named value (an enumeration),
1385
an integer (specified in any format acceptable in C) or a string in doubple
1386 82 jeremybenn
quotes.  For flag parameters, the value 1 is used to mean ``true'' or ``on''
1387
and the value ``0'' to mean ``false'' or ``off''.  An example from a memory
1388 19 jeremybenn
section shows each of these
1389
 
1390
@example
1391
section memory
1392
  type    = random
1393
  pattern = 0x00
1394
  name    = "FLASH"
1395
  ...
1396
end
1397
@end example
1398
 
1399
Many parameters are optional and take reasonable default values if not
1400 82 jeremybenn
specified.  However there are some parameters (for example the
1401 19 jeremybenn
@code{ce} parameter in @code{@w{section memory}}) @emph{must} be
1402
specified.
1403
 
1404
Subsections are introduced by a keyword, with a parameter value (no
1405
@code{=} sign), and end with the same keyword prefixed by
1406 82 jeremybenn
@code{end}.  Thus the ATA/ATAPI inteface (@code{@w{section ata}}) has a
1407 19 jeremybenn
@code{device} subsection, thus:
1408
 
1409
@example
1410
section ata
1411
  ...
1412
  device 0
1413
    type    = 1
1414
    file = "@var{filename}"
1415
    ...
1416
  enddevice
1417
  ...
1418
end
1419
@end example
1420
 
1421
Some sections (for example @code{@w{section sim}}) should appear only
1422 82 jeremybenn
once.  Others (for example @code{@w{section memory}} may appear
1423 19 jeremybenn
multiple times.
1424
 
1425
Sections may be omitted, @emph{unless they contain parameters which
1426 82 jeremybenn
are non-optional}.  If the section describes a part of the simulator
1427 19 jeremybenn
which is optional (for example whether it has a UART), then that
1428 82 jeremybenn
functionality will not be provided.  If the section describes a part of
1429 19 jeremybenn
the simulator which is not optional (for example the CPU), then all the
1430
parameters of that section will take their default values.
1431
 
1432
All optional parts of the functionality are always described by
1433
sections including a @code{enabled} parameter, which can be set to 0
1434
to ensure that functionality is explicitly omitted.
1435
 
1436
Even if a section is disabled, all its parameters will be read and
1437 82 jeremybenn
stored.  This is helpful if the section is subsequently enabled from
1438 19 jeremybenn
the @value{OR1KSIM} command line (@pxref{Interactive Command Line, ,
1439
Interactive Command Line}).
1440
 
1441
@quotation Tip
1442
It generally clearer to have sections describing @emph{all}
1443
components, with omitted functionality explicitly indicated by setting
1444
the @code{enabled} parameter to 0

1986 19 jeremybenn
has any effect for memory type @code{random}.
1987
 
1988
The default value is -1,

2004
The default value, is equivalent to setting the memory @code{type} to

As a consequence users are strongly recommended to specify memory

There is no initialization code in the standard @dfn{newlib}

library.
2534 98 jeremybenn
 
2535 385 jeremybenn
The standard @dfn{uClibc} library assumes a memory controller
2536
mapped at 0x93000000 and will initialize the memory controller to expect
2537
64MB memory blocks, and any memory declarations @emph{must} reflect
2538
this.
2539
 
2540 98 jeremybenn
If smaller memory blocks are declared with a memory controller, then
2541
sufficient memory will not be allocated by @value{OR1KSIM}, but out of
2542 346 jeremybenn
range memory accesses will not be trapped.  For example declaring a
2543 98 jeremybenn
memory section from 0-4MB with a memory controller enabled would mean
2544
that accesses between 4MB and 64MB would be permitted, but having no
2545
allocated memory would likely cause a segmentation fault.
2546
 
2547
If the user is determined to use smaller memories with the memory

controller, then custom initialization code must be provided, to

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

3100
A standard i8042 device has two registers at addresses 0x60 (command)

implemented externally.  Any read or write access to this peripheral's
3330
memory map generates @dfn{upcall}s to an external handler.  This
3331 19 jeremybenn
interface can support either C or C++, and was particularly designed
3332
to facilitate support for OSCI SystemC (see @url{http://www.systemc.org}).
3333
 
3334
Generic peripheral configuration is described in @code{@w{section
3335 82 jeremybenn
generic}}.  This section may appear multiple times, specifying multiple
3336
external peripherals.  The following parameters may be specified.
3337 19 jeremybenn
 
3338
@table @code
3339
 
3340
@item enabled = 0|1
3341
@cindex @code{enabled} (generic peripheral configuration)
3342 82 jeremybenn
If 1 (true, the default), this ATA/ATAPI interface is enabled.  If 0,
3343 19 jeremybenn
it is disabled.
3344
 
3345
@item baseaddr = @var{value}
3346
@cindex @code{baseaddr} (generic peripheral configuration)
3347
Set the base address of the generic peripheral's memory mapped
3348 82 jeremybenn
registers to @var{value}.  The default is 0, which is probably not a
3349 19 jeremybenn
sensible value.
3350
 
3351
The size of the memory mapped register space is controlled by the
3352
@code{size} paramter, described below.
3353
 
3354
@item size = @var{value}
3355
@cindex @code{size} (generic peripheral configuration)
3356
Set the size of the generic peripheral's memory mapped register space
3357 82 jeremybenn
to @var{value} bytes.  Any read or write accesses to addresses with
3358 19 jeremybenn
offsets of 0 to @var{value}-1 bytes from the base address specified in
3359
parameter @code{baseaddr} (see above) will be directed to the external
3360
interface.
3361
 
3362 82 jeremybenn
@var{value} will be rounded up the nearest power of 2.  It's default
3363
value is zero.  If @var{value} is not an exact power of two, accesses
3364 19 jeremybenn
to address offsets of @var{value} or above up to the next power of 2
3365
will generate a warning, and have no effect (reads will return zero).
3366
 
3367
@item name = "@var{str}"
3368
@cindex @code{name} (generic peripheral configuration)
3369 82 jeremybenn
This gives the peripheral the name @code{"@var{str}"}.  This is used to
3370 19 jeremybenn
identify the peripheral in error messages and warnings, and when
3371 82 jeremybenn
reporting its status.  The default value is @code{@w{"anonymous
3372 19 jeremybenn
external peripheral"}}.
3373
 
3374
@item byte_enabled = 0|1
3375

3378
@itemx word_enabled = 0|1
3379
@cindex @code{word_enabled} (generic peripheral configuration)
3380
If 1 (true, the default), these parameters respectively enable the
3381 82 jeremybenn
device for byte wide, half-word wide and word wide accesses.  If 0,
3382 19 jeremybenn
accesses of that width will fail.

@node Verification API
3668
@chapter Verification API (VAPI)
3669
 
3670
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
3671 82 jeremybenn
components of the simulation to be controlled externally.  The
3672 19 jeremybenn
interface is polled for new requests on each simulated clock
3673 82 jeremybenn
cycle.  Components within the simulator may send responses to such
3674 19 jeremybenn
requests.
3675
 
3676 82 jeremybenn
The inteface is an asynchronous duplex protocol.  On the request side
3677 19 jeremybenn
it provides for simple commands, known as VAPI IDs (a 32 bit integer),
3678 82 jeremybenn
with a single piece of data (also a 32 bit integer).  On the send side,
3679
it provides for sending a single VAPI ID and data.  However there is no
3680
explicit command-response structure.  Some components just accept
3681
requests (e.g.  to set values), some just generate sends (to report
3682 19 jeremybenn
values), and some do both.
3683
 
3684
Each component has a base ID (32 bit) and its commands will start from
3685 82 jeremybenn
that base ID.  This provides a simple partitioning of the command space
3686
amongst components.  Request commands will be directed to the component with
3687 19 jeremybenn
the closest base ID lower than the VAPI ID of the command.
3688
 
3689
Thus if there are two components with base IDs of 0x200 and 0x300, and
3690
a request with VAPI ID of 0x203 is received, it will be directed to
3691
the first component as its command #3.
3692
 
3693
The results of VAPI interactions are logged (by default in
3694
@file{vapi.log} unless an alternative is specified in @code{@w{section
3695
vapi}}).
3696
 
3697
Currently the following components support VAPI:
3698
 
3699
@table @asis
3700
 
3701
@item Debug Unit
3702
@cindex Debug Unit verification (VAPI)
3703
@cindex VAPI for Debug Unit
3704
Although the Debug Unit can specify a base VAPI ID, it is not used to
3705
send commands or receive requests.
3706
 
3707
Instead, if the base VAPI ID is set, all remote JTAG protocol exchanges are
3708
logged in the VAPI log file.
3709
 
3710
@item UART
3711
@cindex UART verification (VAPI)
3712
@cindex VAPI for UART
3713
If a base VAPI ID is specified, the UART sends details of any chars or
3714
break characters sent, with dteails of the line control register etc
3715
encoded in the data packet sent.
3716
 
3717
This supports a single VAPI command request, but encodes a sub-command in the
3718
top 8 bits of the associated data.

@section Coding Conventions for @value{OR1KSIM}
3848
 
3849
This chapter provides some guidelines for coding, to facilitate
3850
extensions to @value{OR1KSIM}
3851
 
3852
@table @emph
3853
 
3854
@item GNU Coding Standard
3855
Code should follow the GNU coding standard for C
3856 82 jeremybenn
(@url{http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/}.  If in doubt, put your code
3857 19 jeremybenn
through the @command{indent} program.
3858
 
3859
@item @code{#include} headers
3860
All C source code files should include @file{config.h} before any
3861
other file.
3862
 
3863
This should be followed by inclusion of any system headers (but see
3864
the comments about portability and @file{port.h} below) and then by
3865
any @value{OR1KSIM} package headers.
3866
 
3867
If @file{port.h} is required, it should be the first package header to
3868
be included after the system headers.
3869
 
3870
All C source code and header files should directly include any system
3871 82 jeremybenn
or package header they depend on, i.e.  not rely on any other header
3872
having already included it.  The two exceptions are
3873 19 jeremybenn
 
3874
@enumerate
3875
@item
3876
All header files may assume that @file{config.h} has already been
3877
included.
3878
 
3879
@item
3880
System headers which impose portability problems should be included by
3881
using the package header @file{port.h}, rather than the system headers
3882 82 jeremybenn
themselves.  This is the case for code requiring
3883 19 jeremybenn
 
3884
@itemize @bullet
3885
 
3886
@item
3887
@code{strndup} (from @file{string.h})
3888
 
3889
@item
3890
Integer types (@code{int@var{n}_t}, @code{uint@var{n}_t}) (from
3891
@file{inttypes.h}).
3892
 
3893
@item
3894
@code{isblank} (from @file{ctype.h})
3895
 
3896
@end itemize
3897
 
3898
@end enumerate
3899
 
3900
@item @code{#include} files once only
3901
All include files should be protected by @code{#ifndef} to ensure
3902 82 jeremybenn
their definitions are only included once.  For instance a header file
3903 19 jeremybenn
@file{@var{x-y.h}} should surround its contents with:
3904
 
3905
@example
3906
#ifndef X_Y__H
3907
#define X_Y__H
3908
 
3909
<body of the include file>
3910
 
3911
#endif  /* X_Y__H */
3912
@end example
3913
 
3914
@item Avoid @code{typedef}
3915
The GNU coding style for C does not have a clear way to distinguish
3916 82 jeremybenn
between user type name and user variables.  For this reason
3917 19 jeremybenn
@code{typedef} should be avoided except for the most ubiquitous user
3918 82 jeremybenn
defined types.  This makes the code much easier to read.
3919 19 jeremybenn
 
3920
There are some @code{typedef} declarations in the @command{argtable2}
3921
library and the @acronym{ELF} and @acronym{COFF} headers, because this
3922
code is taken from other places.
3923
 
3924
Within @value{OR1KSIM} legacy uses of @code{typedef} have largely been
3925
purged, except in the Custom Unit Compiler (@pxref{CUC Configuration,
3926
, Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration}).
3927
 
3928
The remaining uses of @code{typedef} occur in two places:
3929
 
3930
@itemize @bullet
3931
 
3932
@item
3933
@file{port/port.h} defines types to replace those in header files that
3934
are not available (character functions, string duplication, integer
3935
types).
3936
 
3937
@file{cpu/or1k/arch.h} defines types for the key @value{OR1KSIM}
3938
entities: addresses (@code{oraddr_t}), unsigned register values
3939
(@code{uorreg_t}) and signed register (@code{orreg_t}) values.
3940
 
3941
@end itemize
3942
 
3943
Where new types are defined, they should appear in one of these two
3944 82 jeremybenn
files as appropriate.  @value{OR1KSIM} specific types appearing in
3945 19 jeremybenn
@file{arch.h} should always have the suffix @file{_h}.
3946
 
3947
@item Don't begin names with underscore
3948
Names beginning with @code{_} are intended to be part of the C
3949 82 jeremybenn
infrastructure.  They should not be used in the simulator code.
3950 19 jeremybenn
 
3951
@item Keep Non-global top level entities static
3952
All top level entities (functions, variables), which are not
3953 82 jeremybenn
explicitly part of a global interface should be declared static.  This
3954 19 jeremybenn
ensures that unwanted connections are not inadvertently built across
3955
the program.
3956
 
3957
@item Use of @code{inline}
3958 82 jeremybenn
Code should not be declared @code{inline}.  Modern compilers can work
3959 19 jeremybenn
out for themselves what is best in this respect.
3960
 
3961
@item Initialization
3962 82 jeremybenn
All data structures should be explicitly initialized.  In particular
3963 19 jeremybenn
code should not rely on static data structures being initialized to
3964
zero.
3965
 
3966
The rationale is that in future static data structures may become
3967 82 jeremybenn
dynamic.  This has been a particular source of bugs in @value{OR1KSIM}
3968 19 jeremybenn
historically.
3969
 
3970
A specific case is with new peripherals, which should always include a
3971
@code{start} function to pre-initialize all configuration parameters
3972
to sensible defaults
3973
 
3974
@item Configuration Validation
3975
All configuration values should be validated, preferably when
3976
encountered, if not when the @code{section} is closed, or otherwise
3977
at run time when the parameter is first used.

@cindex interrupts

@findex report_interrupt

@findex clear_interrupt
4103
@findex mtspr
4104
An internal peripheral can model the effect of an interrupt being
4105
asserted by calling @code{report_interrupt}.  This is used for both edge
4106
and level sensitive interrupts.
4107
 
4108
The effect is to set the corresponding bit in the PICSR SPR and to queue
4109
an interrupt exception to take place after the current instruction
4110
completes execution.
4111
 
4112
Externally, the different interrupts require different mechanisms for
4113
clearing.  Level sensitive interrupts should be cleared by deasserting
4114
the interrupt line, edge sensitive interrupts by clearing the
4115
corresponding bit in the PICSR SPR.
4116
 
4117
Internally this amounts to the same thing (clearing the PICSPR bit), so
4118
a single function is provided, @code{clear_interrupt}.  Note however that
4119
when level sensitive interrupts are configured, PICSR is read only, and
4120
can only be cleared by calling @code{clear_interrupt}.  Using the two
4121
functions provided will ensure the peripheral works correctly whichever
4122
type of interrupt is used.
4123
 
4124
@quotation Note
4125
Until an interrupt is cleared, all subsequent interrupts are ignored
4126
with a warning.

@value{OR1KSIM} now includes a regression test suite for both standalone
4147
and library usage as described earlier (@pxref{Build and Install,
4148
, Building and Installing}).  Running the tests requires that the
4149
OpenRISC toolchain and DejaGNU are both installed.
4150
 
4151
Tests are written using @command{expect}, a derivative of TCL.
4152
Documentation of DejaGnu, @command{expect} and TCL are freely available
4153
on the Web.  The Embecosm Application Note 8, @cite{Howto: Using DejaGnu
4154
for Testing: A Simple Introduction}
4155
(@uref{http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean8.html}) provides a concise
4156
introduction.

files and directories used are as follows.
4160
 
4161
@table @code
4162
@item global-conf.exp
4163
@cindex DejaGnu configuration
4164
This is the global DejaGNU configuration file used to set up parameters
4165
common to all tests.  If the user has the environment varialbe
4166
@env{DEJAGNU} defined, it will be used instead, but this is not

@cindex test make file
4171
@cindex make file for tests
4172
This is the top level @command{automake} file for the testsuite.  The

@cindex DejaGnu board configurations
4182
This contains DejaGnu board configurations.  Since the tests are
4183
generally run on a Unix host, this should just contain @file{Unix.exp}.
4184
 
4185
@item lib
4186
@cindex DejaGnu tool specific configuration
4187
This contains DejaGnu tool specific configurations.  ``Tool'' has a
4188
specific meaning in DejaGNU, referring just to a grouping of tests.  In
4189
this case there are two such ``tools'', ``or1ksim'' and ``libsim''
4190
for tests of the standalone tool and tests of the library.
4191
 
4192
Corresponding to this, there are two tool specific configuration files,
4193
@file{or1ksim.exp} and @file{libsim.exp}.  These contain @command{expect}/TCL
4194
procedures for common use among the tests.

These are the directories of tests of the @value{OR1KSIM} library.  They
4200
also include @value{OR1KSIM} configuration files and each has a
4201
@file{Makefile.am} file.  @file{Makefile.am} should be updated whenever
4202

These are all the test programs to be compiled with the OpenRISC tool
4216 346 jeremybenn
chain to run with either standalone @value{OR1KSIM} or the library.
4217
This directory includes its own @file{configure.ac}, since it must set
4218
up a separate tool chain based on the target, not the host.

To add a new test needs the following steps.
4223
 
4224
@itemize @bullet
4225
 
4226
@item
4227 346 jeremybenn
Put new host C code in its own directory within @file{test-code}.  Add
4228 104 jeremybenn
the directory to the existing @file{Makefile.am} in the @file{test-code}
4229 346 jeremybenn
directory and create a @file{Makefile.am} in the new directory to drive
4230
building the test program(s).  Don't forget to add the new
4231
@file{Makefile} to the top level @file{configure.ac} so it gets
4232
generated. Not all tests require code here.
4233 104 jeremybenn
 
4234
@item
4235 346 jeremybenn
Put new target C code in its own directory within @file{test-code-or1k}.
4236
Once again modify & create @file{Makefile.am}.  This time modify the
4237
@file{configure.ac} in the @file{test-code-or1k} so the @file{Makefile}
4238
gets generated.  The existing programs provide examples to start from,
4239
including custom linker scripts where needed.
4240 104 jeremybenn
 
4241
@item
4242
Add one or more tests and configuration files to the relevant ``tool''
4243 346 jeremybenn
test directory.  Use the existing tests as templates.  They make heavy
4244
use of the @command{expect}/TCL procedures in the @file{config}
4245
directory to facilitate driving the tests.
