@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
115 346 jeremybenn
selected.  If the tools have been installed using the standard OpenRISC
116 104 jeremybenn
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}.

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

The default is for this to be disabled.

@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
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 register over time statistics
207
If enabled, this option allows statistics to be collected to analyse
208 82 jeremybenn
register access over time.  The default is for this to be disabled.

@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,
237 346 jeremybenn
because they led to invalid behavior of 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.

The following issues are long standing and unlikely to be fixed in
330
Or1ksim in the near future.
331
 
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!

configuration file, to allow just the processor and memory to be set
451
up.  This is the equivalent of specifying a configuration memory section
452
with @code{baseaddr = 0} and @code{size = @var{size}} and all other
453
parameters taking their default value.
454
 
455
If a configuration file is also used, it should be sure not to specify
456
an overlapping memory block.

This was the default behaviour up to Or1ksim 0.4.0.  This flag is
473
provided for those who wish to keep that behavior.

@item --strict-npc

@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
489 346 jeremybenn
been implemented assuming the historic @value{OR1KSIM} behavior.
490
However at some time in the future it will become the default.

@value{OR1KSIM} may be used as a static of dynamic library,

@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
 
643 346 jeremybenn
@deftypefn {@file{or1ksim.h}} int or1ksim_init (int @var{argc}, char *@var{argv}, void *@var{class_ptr},
644 93 jeremybenn
int (*@var{upr})(void *@var{class_ptr}, unsigned long int @var{addr},
645
unsigned char @var{mask}[], unsigned char @var{rdata}[], int
646
@var{data_len}), int (*@var{upw})(void *@var{class_ptr}, unsigned long
647
int @var{addr}, unsigned char @var{mask}[], unsigned char @var{wdata}[],
648
int @var{data_len}))
649 19 jeremybenn
 
650 346 jeremybenn
The initialization function is supplied with a vector of arguments,
651
which are interpreted as arguments to the standalone version (see
652
@pxref{Standalone Simulator, , Standalone Simulator}), a pointer to the
653
calling class, @var{class_ptr} (since the library may be used from C++)
654
and two up-call functions, one for reads, @var{upr}, and one for writes,
655 19 jeremybenn
@var{upw}.
656
 
657
@var{upw} is called for any write to an address external to the model
658
(determined by a @code{generic} section in the configuration
659 82 jeremybenn
file).  @var{upr} is called for any reads to an external address.  The
660 19 jeremybenn
@var{class_ptr} is passed back with these upcalls, allowing the
661
function to associate the call with the class which originally
662 93 jeremybenn
initialized the library.  Both @var{upw} and @var{upr} should return
663
zero on success and non-zero otherwise.  At the present time the meaning
664
of non-zero values is not defined but this may change in the future.
665 19 jeremybenn
 
666 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask} indicates which bytes in the data are to be written or
667 82 jeremybenn
read.  Bytes to be read/written should have 0xff set in
668 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask}.  Otherwise the byte should be zero.  The adddress,
669
@var{addr}, is the @emph{full} address, since the upcall function must
670
handle all generic devices, using the full address for decoding.
671 19 jeremybenn
 
672 346 jeremybenn
Endianness is not a concern, since @value{OR1KSIM} is transferring byte
673
vectors, not multi-byte values.
674 19 jeremybenn
 
675 346 jeremybenn
The result indicates whether the initialization was successful.  The
676
integer values are available as an @code{enum or1ksim}, with possible
677
values @code{OR1KSIM_RC_OK} and @code{OR1KSIM_RC_BADINIT}.
678

@quotation Caution
680 346 jeremybenn
This is a change from versions 0.3.0 and 0.4.0.  It further simplifies

The libraries will be installed in the @file{lib} sub-directory of the
903
main installation directory (as specified with the @option{--prefix}
904
option to the @command{configure} script).
905
 
906
For example if the main installation directory is @file{/opt/or1ksim},
907 82 jeremybenn
the library will be found in the @file{/opt/or1ksim/lib} directory.  It
908 19 jeremybenn
is available as both a static library (@file{libsim.a}) and a shared
909
object (@file{libsim.so}).
910
 
911
To link against the library add the @option{-lsim} flag when linking
912
and do one of the following:
913
 
914
@itemize @bullet
915
 
916
@item
917
Add the library directory to the @code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} environment
918 82 jeremybenn

919 19 jeremybenn
 
920
@example
921
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/or1ksim/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
922
@end example
923
 
924
@item
925
Add the library directory to the @code{LD_RUN_PATH} environment
926 82 jeremybenn

@value{OR1KSIM} is configured through a configuration file.  This is specified
950 19 jeremybenn
through the @code{-f} parameter to the @value{OR1KSIM} command, or passed as a

952
the default @file{sim.cfg} is used.  The file is looked for first in the

@subsection Configuration File Syntax
983
 
984
The configuration file is divided into a series of sections, with the general
985
form:
986
 
987
@example
988
section @var{section_name}
989
 
990
  <contents>...
991
 
992
end
993
@end example
994
 
995
Sections may also have sub-sections within them (currently only the
996
ATA/ATAPI disc interface uses this).
997
 
998
Within a section, or sub-section are a series of parameter assignments, one
999
per line, withe the general form
1000
 
1001
@example
1002
  @var{parameter} = @var{value}
1003
@end example
1004
 
1005
Depending on the parameter, the value may be a named value (an enumeration),
1006
an integer (specified in any format acceptable in C) or a string in doubple
1007 82 jeremybenn
quotes.  For flag parameters, the value 1 is used to mean ``true'' or ``on''
1008
and the value ``0'' to mean ``false'' or ``off''.  An example from a memory
1009 19 jeremybenn
section shows each of these
1010
 
1011
@example
1012
section memory
1013
  type    = random
1014
  pattern = 0x00
1015
  name    = "FLASH"
1016
  ...
1017
end
1018
@end example
1019
 
1020
Many parameters are optional and take reasonable default values if not
1021 82 jeremybenn
specified.  However there are some parameters (for example the
1022 19 jeremybenn
@code{ce} parameter in @code{@w{section memory}}) @emph{must} be
1023
specified.
1024
 
1025
Subsections are introduced by a keyword, with a parameter value (no
1026
@code{=} sign), and end with the same keyword prefixed by
1027 82 jeremybenn
@code{end}.  Thus the ATA/ATAPI inteface (@code{@w{section ata}}) has a
1028 19 jeremybenn
@code{device} subsection, thus:
1029
 
1030
@example
1031
section ata
1032
  ...
1033
  device 0
1034
    type    = 1
1035
    file = "@var{filename}"
1036
    ...
1037
  enddevice
1038
  ...
1039
end
1040
@end example
1041
 
1042
Some sections (for example @code{@w{section sim}}) should appear only
1043 82 jeremybenn
once.  Others (for example @code{@w{section memory}} may appear
1044 19 jeremybenn
multiple times.
1045
 
1046
Sections may be omitted, @emph{unless they contain parameters which
1047 82 jeremybenn
are non-optional}.  If the section describes a part of the simulator
1048 19 jeremybenn
which is optional (for example whether it has a UART), then that
1049 82 jeremybenn
functionality will not be provided.  If the section describes a part of
1050 19 jeremybenn
the simulator which is not optional (for example the CPU), then all the
1051
parameters of that section will take their default values.
1052
 
1053
All optional parts of the functionality are always described by
1054
sections including a @code{enabled} parameter, which can be set to 0
1055
to ensure that functionality is explicitly omitted.
1056
 
1057
Even if a section is disabled, all its parameters will be read and
1058 82 jeremybenn
stored.  This is helpful if the section is subsequently enabled from
1059 19 jeremybenn
the @value{OR1KSIM} command line (@pxref{Interactive Command Line, ,
1060
Interactive Command Line}).
1061
 
1062
@quotation Tip
1063
It generally clearer to have sections describing @emph{all}
1064
components, with omitted functionality explicitly indicated by setting
1065
the @code{enabled} parameter to 0

1526 346 jeremybenn
The user may choose whether or not to enable a memory controller.  If a
1527 98 jeremybenn
memory controller is enabled, then the standard OpenRISC C libraries
1528
will initialize it to expect 64MB memory blocks, and any memory
1529
declarations @emph{must} reflect this.  The section describing memory
1530 346 jeremybenn
controller configuration describes the steps necessary for using smaller
1531
or larger memory sections (@pxref{Memory Controller Configuration, ,
1532

1533 98 jeremybenn
 
1534
If a memory controller is @emph{not} enabled, then the standard C
1535
library code will generate memory access errors.  The solution is to
1536
declare an additional writable memory block, mimicing the memory
1537
controller's register bank as follows.

1601
 
1602
The default value is -1,

1634 19 jeremybenn
 
1635
@quotation Note
1636
When allocating memory, the simulator will allocate the nearest

As a consequence users are strongly recommended to specify memory

The memory controller used in @value{OR1KSIM} is the component
2086 98 jeremybenn
implemented at OpenCores, and found in the top level SVN directory,
2087 82 jeremybenn
@file{mem_ctrl}.  It is described in the document @cite{Memory
2088 19 jeremybenn
Controller IP Core} by Rudolf Usselmann, which can be found in the
2089 82 jeremybenn
@file{doc} subdirectory.  It is a memory mapped component, which
2090 19 jeremybenn
resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.
2091
 
2092
The memory controller configuration is described in @code{@w{section
2093 82 jeremybenn

2094 98 jeremybenn
memory controllers.
2095 19 jeremybenn
 
2096 98 jeremybenn
@quotation Caution
2097
The standard OpenRISC C libraries will initialize the memory
2098
controller to expect 64MB memory blocks, and any memory declarations
2099
@emph{must} reflect this.
2100
 
2101
If smaller memory blocks are declared with a memory controller, then
2102
sufficient memory will not be allocated by @value{OR1KSIM}, but out of
2103 346 jeremybenn
range memory accesses will not be trapped.  For example declaring a
2104 98 jeremybenn
memory section from 0-4MB with a memory controller enabled would mean
2105
that accesses between 4MB and 64MB would be permitted, but having no
2106
allocated memory would likely cause a segmentation fault.
2107
 
2108
If the user is determined to use smaller memories with the memory
2109
controller, then custom initialization code must be provided, to
2110
ensure the memory controller traps out-of-memory accesses.

any documentation beyond its project webpage.  Since most PS2

@quotation Caution
2627
A standard i8042 device has two registers at addresses 0x60 (command)
2628 82 jeremybenn

0x04.

@node Verification API
3190
@chapter Verification API (VAPI)
3191
 
3192
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
3193 82 jeremybenn
components of the simulation to be controlled externally.  The
3194 19 jeremybenn
interface is polled for new requests on each simulated clock
3195 82 jeremybenn
cycle.  Components within the simulator may send responses to such
3196 19 jeremybenn
requests.
3197
 
3198 82 jeremybenn
The inteface is an asynchronous duplex protocol.  On the request side
3199 19 jeremybenn
it provides for simple commands, known as VAPI IDs (a 32 bit integer),
3200 82 jeremybenn
with a single piece of data (also a 32 bit integer).  On the send side,
3201
it provides for sending a single VAPI ID and data.  However there is no
3202
explicit command-response structure.  Some components just accept
3203
requests (e.g.  to set values), some just generate sends (to report
3204 19 jeremybenn
values), and some do both.
3205
 
3206
Each component has a base ID (32 bit) and its commands will start from
3207 82 jeremybenn
that base ID.  This provides a simple partitioning of the command space
3208
amongst components.  Request commands will be directed to the component with
3209 19 jeremybenn
the closest base ID lower than the VAPI ID of the command.
3210
 
3211
Thus if there are two components with base IDs of 0x200 and 0x300, and
3212
a request with VAPI ID of 0x203 is received, it will be directed to
3213
the first component as its command #3.
3214
 
3215
The results of VAPI interactions are logged (by default in
3216
@file{vapi.log} unless an alternative is specified in @code{@w{section
3217
vapi}}).
3218
 
3219
Currently the following components support VAPI:

3222
 
3223
@item Debug Unit
3224
@cindex Debug Unit verification (VAPI)
3225
@cindex VAPI for Debug Unit
3226
Although the Debug Unit can specify a base VAPI ID, it is not used to
3227
send commands or receive requests.
3228
 
3229
Instead, if the base VAPI ID is set, all remote JTAG protocol exchanges are
3230
logged in the VAPI log file.

@item UART
3233
@cindex UART verification (VAPI)
3234

3236
break characters sent, with dteails of the line control register etc
3237
encoded in the data packet sent.
3238
 
3239
This supports a single VAPI command request, but encodes a sub-command in the
3240
top 8 bits of the associated data.

These are notes to help those wanting to extend @value{OR1KSIM}.  This
3351 19 jeremybenn
section assumes the use of a tag file, so file locations of entities'
3352 82 jeremybenn
definitions are not in general provided.  For more on tags, see the
3353
Linux manual page for @command{etags}.  A tag file can be created
3354 19 jeremybenn
with:
3355

@section Coding Conventions for @value{OR1KSIM}
3370
 
3371
This chapter provides some guidelines for coding, to facilitate
3372
extensions to @value{OR1KSIM}
3373
 
3374
@table @emph
3375
 
3376
@item GNU Coding Standard
3377
Code should follow the GNU coding standard for C
3378 82 jeremybenn
(@url{http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/}.  If in doubt, put your code
3379 19 jeremybenn
through the @command{indent} program.
3380
 
3381
@item @code{#include} headers
3382
All C source code files should include @file{config.h} before any
3383
other file.
3384
 
3385
This should be followed by inclusion of any system headers (but see
3386
the comments about portability and @file{port.h} below) and then by
3387
any @value{OR1KSIM} package headers.
3388
 
3389
If @file{port.h} is required, it should be the first package header to
3390
be included after the system headers.
3391
 
3392
All C source code and header files should directly include any system
3393 82 jeremybenn
or package header they depend on, i.e.  not rely on any other header
3394
having already included it.  The two exceptions are
3395 19 jeremybenn
 
3396
@enumerate
3397
@item
3398
All header files may assume that @file{config.h} has already been
3399
included.
3400
 
3401
@item
3402
System headers which impose portability problems should be included by
3403
using the package header @file{port.h}, rather than the system headers
3404 82 jeremybenn
themselves.  This is the case for code requiring
3405 19 jeremybenn
 
3406
@itemize @bullet
3407
 
3408
@item
3409
@code{strndup} (from @file{string.h})
3410
 
3411
@item
3412
Integer types (@code{int@var{n}_t}, @code{uint@var{n}_t}) (from
3413
@file{inttypes.h}).
3414
 
3415
@item
3416
@code{isblank} (from @file{ctype.h})
3417
 
3418
@end itemize
3419
 
3420
@end enumerate
3421
 
3422
@item @code{#include} files once only
3423
All include files should be protected by @code{#ifndef} to ensure
3424 82 jeremybenn
their definitions are only included once.  For instance a header file
3425 19 jeremybenn
@file{@var{x-y.h}} should surround its contents with:
3426
 
3427
@example
3428
#ifndef X_Y__H
3429
#define X_Y__H
3430
 
3431
<body of the include file>
3432
 
3433
#endif  /* X_Y__H */
3434
@end example
3435
 
3436
@item Avoid @code{typedef}
3437
The GNU coding style for C does not have a clear way to distinguish
3438 82 jeremybenn
between user type name and user variables.  For this reason
3439 19 jeremybenn
@code{typedef} should be avoided except for the most ubiquitous user
3440 82 jeremybenn
defined types.  This makes the code much easier to read.
3441 19 jeremybenn
 
3442
There are some @code{typedef} declarations in the @command{argtable2}
3443
library and the @acronym{ELF} and @acronym{COFF} headers, because this
3444
code is taken from other places.
3445
 
3446
Within @value{OR1KSIM} legacy uses of @code{typedef} have largely been
3447
purged, except in the Custom Unit Compiler (@pxref{CUC Configuration,
3448
, Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration}).
3449
 
3450
The remaining uses of @code{typedef} occur in two places:
3451
 
3452
@itemize @bullet
3453
 
3454
@item
3455
@file{port/port.h} defines types to replace those in header files that
3456
are not available (character functions, string duplication, integer
3457
types).
3458
 
3459
@file{cpu/or1k/arch.h} defines types for the key @value{OR1KSIM}
3460
entities: addresses (@code{oraddr_t}), unsigned register values
3461
(@code{uorreg_t}) and signed register (@code{orreg_t}) values.
3462
 
3463
@end itemize
3464
 
3465
Where new types are defined, they should appear in one of these two
3466 82 jeremybenn
files as appropriate.  @value{OR1KSIM} specific types appearing in
3467 19 jeremybenn
@file{arch.h} should always have the suffix @file{_h}.
3468
 
3469
@item Don't begin names with underscore
3470
Names beginning with @code{_} are intended to be part of the C
3471 82 jeremybenn
infrastructure.  They should not be used in the simulator code.
3472 19 jeremybenn
 
3473
@item Keep Non-global top level entities static
3474
All top level entities (functions, variables), which are not
3475 82 jeremybenn
explicitly part of a global interface should be declared static.  This
3476 19 jeremybenn
ensures that unwanted connections are not inadvertently built across
3477
the program.
3478
 
3479
@item Use of @code{inline}
3480 82 jeremybenn
Code should not be declared @code{inline}.  Modern compilers can work
3481 19 jeremybenn
out for themselves what is best in this respect.
3482
 
3483
@item Initialization
3484 82 jeremybenn
All data structures should be explicitly initialized.  In particular
3485 19 jeremybenn
code should not rely on static data structures being initialized to
3486
zero.
3487
 
3488
The rationale is that in future static data structures may become
3489 82 jeremybenn
dynamic.  This has been a particular source of bugs in @value{OR1KSIM}
3490 19 jeremybenn
historically.
3491
 
3492
A specific case is with new peripherals, which should always include a
3493
@code{start} function to pre-initialize all configuration parameters
3494
to sensible defaults
3495
 
3496
@item Configuration Validation
3497
All configuration values should be validated, preferably when
3498
encountered, if not when the @code{section} is closed, or otherwise
3499
at run time when the parameter is first used.

This is a linked list of data structures holding configuration data
3576
for all sections which are not held in the main @code{config} data
3577 82 jeremybenn
structure.  In general these are components (such as peripherals and
3578
memory) which may occur multiple times.  However it also handles some
3579 19 jeremybenn
architectural components which may occur only once, such as the memory
3580
management units, the instruction cache, the interrupt controller and
3581
branch prediction.

The global variable @code{runtime} of type @code{struct runtime} holds
3587 82 jeremybenn
all the runtime information about the simulation.  To access this
3588 19 jeremybenn
variable, @file{sim-config.h} must be included.

first argument, which is the debug level.  If the debug level specified
3628 19 jeremybenn
in the simulator configuration (@pxref{Simulator Behavior, , Simulator

@value{OR1KSIM} now includes a regression test suite for both standalone
3638
and library usage as described earlier (@pxref{Build and Install,
3639
, Building and Installing}).  Running the tests requires that the
3640
OpenRISC toolchain and DejaGNU are both installed.
3641
 
3642
Tests are written using @command{expect}, a derivative of TCL.
3643
Documentation of DejaGnu, @command{expect} and TCL are freely available
3644
on the Web.  The Embecosm Application Note 8, @cite{Howto: Using DejaGnu
3645
for Testing: A Simple Introduction}
3646
(@uref{http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean8.html}) provides a concise
3647
introduction.
3648
 
3649
All test code is found in the @file{testsuite} directory.  The key
3650
files and directories used are as follows.
3651
 
3652
@table @code
3653
@item global-conf.exp
3654
@cindex DejaGnu configuration
3655
This is the global DejaGNU configuration file used to set up parameters
3656
common to all tests.  If the user has the environment varialbe
3657
@env{DEJAGNU} defined, it will be used instead, but this is not
3658
recommended.
3659
 
3660
@item Makefile.am
3661
@cindex test make file
3662
@cindex make file for tests
3663
This is the top level @command{automake} file for the testsuite.  The
3664
only changes likely to be needed here is additional local cleanup of
3665
files created by new tests.
3666
 
3667
@item README
3668
@cindex test README
3669
This contains details of all the tests
3670
 
3671
@item config
3672
@cindex DejaGnu board configurations
3673
This contains DejaGnu board configurations.  Since the tests are
3674
generally run on a Unix host, this should just contain @file{Unix.exp}.
3675
 
3676
@item lib
3677
@cindex DejaGnu tool specific configuration
3678
This contains DejaGnu tool specific configurations.  ``Tool'' has a
3679
specific meaning in DejaGNU, referring just to a grouping of tests.  In
3680
this case there are two such ``tools'', ``or1ksim'' and ``libsim''
3681
for tests of the standalone tool and tests of the library.
3682
 
3683
Corresponding to this, there are two tool specific configuration files,
3684
@file{or1ksim.exp} and @file{libsim.exp}.  These contain @command{expect}/TCL
3685
procedures for common use among the tests.
3686
 
3687
@item libsim.tests
3688
@itemx or1ksim.tests
3689
@cindex DejaGNU tests directories
3690
These are the directories of tests of the Or1ksim library.  They also include
3691
@value{OR1KSIM} configuration files and each has a @file{Makefile.am} file.
3692
@file{Makefile.am} should be updated whenever files are added to this
3693
directory, to ensure they are included in the distribution.
3694
 
3695
@item test-code
3696
@cindex host test code
3697
@cindex test code for host
3698
These are all the test programs to be compiled on the host (each in its
3699
own directory).  In general these are programs to support testing of the
3700
library, and build various programs linking in the library.
3701
 
3702
@item test-code
3703
@cindex target test code
3704
@cindex test code for target
3705
These are all the test programs to be compiled with the OpenRISC tool
3706 346 jeremybenn
chain to run with either standalone @value{OR1KSIM} or the library.
3707
This directory includes its own @file{configure.ac}, since it must set
3708
up a separate tool chain based on the target, not the host.

@end table

To add a new test needs the following steps.
3713
 
3714
@itemize @bullet
3715
 
3716
@item
3717 346 jeremybenn
Put new host C code in its own directory within @file{test-code}.  Add
3718 104 jeremybenn
the directory to the existing @file{Makefile.am} in the @file{test-code}
3719 346 jeremybenn
directory and create a @file{Makefile.am} in the new directory to drive
3720
building the test program(s).  Don't forget to add the new
3721
@file{Makefile} to the top level @file{configure.ac} so it gets
3722
generated. Not all tests require code here.
3723 104 jeremybenn
 
3724
@item
3725 346 jeremybenn
Put new target C code in its own directory within @file{test-code-or1k}.
3726
Once again modify & create @file{Makefile.am}.  This time modify the
3727
@file{configure.ac} in the @file{test-code-or1k} so the @file{Makefile}
3728
gets generated.  The existing programs provide examples to start from,
3729
including custom linker scripts where needed.
3730 104 jeremybenn
 
3731
@item
3732
Add one or more tests and configuration files to the relevant ``tool''
3733 346 jeremybenn
test directory.  Use the existing tests as templates.  They make heavy
3734
use of the @command{expect}/TCL procedures in the @file{config}
3735
directory to facilitate driving the tests.
