@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}.

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
 
170
The default is for this to be disabled.

@cindex @code{--disable-unsigned-xori}
176
@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
 
186 440 jeremybenn
This flag causes @value{OR1KSIM} to treat the immediate operand as unsigned (i.e
187 127 jeremybenn
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

If enabled, this option allows statistics to be collected to analyse

@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,
237 440 jeremybenn
because they led to invalid behavior of @value{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
330 440 jeremybenn
@value{OR1KSIM} in the near future.
331 346 jeremybenn
 
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!

This is mainly intended for use when @value{OR1KSIM} is used without a

@cindex @code{--strict-npc}
504
In real hardware, setting the next program counter (NPC, SPR 16),
505 82 jeremybenn
flushes the processor pipeline.  The consequence of this is that until
506
the pipeline refills, reading the NPC will return zero.  This is typically
507 19 jeremybenn
the case when debugging, since the processor is stalled.
508
 
509
Historically, @value{OR1KSIM} has always returned the value of the NPC,
510 82 jeremybenn
irrespective of when it is changed.  If the @code{--strict-npc} option is
511
used, then @value{OR1KSIM} will mirror real hardware more accurately.  If the NPC
512 19 jeremybenn
is changed while the processor is stalled, subsequent reads of its value
513
will return 0 until the processor is unstalled.
514
 
515
This is not currently the default behavior, since tools such as GDB have
516 346 jeremybenn
been implemented assuming the historic @value{OR1KSIM} behavior.
517
However at some time in the future it will become the default.

with either ``S'' or ``U'' to indicate whether the processor was in

worth bearing in mind that tracing happens at completion of instruction

execution and shows the state at that time.

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}:
686 442 julius
 
687
@example
688
pkill -SIGUSR1 or32-elf-sim
689
@end example
690
 
691 443 jeremybenn
This is useful in the case where trace output is desired after a

694 442 julius
 
695 443 jeremybenn

696
can be used if @value{OR1KSIM}'s process number is known. Use the
697
following to determine the process ID of the @code{or32-elf-sim} and
698
then send the @code{SIGUSR1} command to toggle execution trace
699
generation:

traced.  This may be controlled by two options, @code{--trace-physical}

The initialization function is supplied with a vector of arguments,
747
which are interpreted as arguments to the standalone version (see
748
@pxref{Standalone Simulator, , Standalone Simulator}), a pointer to the
749
calling class, @var{class_ptr} (since the library may be used from C++)
750
and two up-call functions, one for reads, @var{upr}, and one for writes,
751 19 jeremybenn
@var{upw}.
752
 
753
@var{upw} is called for any write to an address external to the model
754
(determined by a @code{generic} section in the configuration
755 82 jeremybenn
file).  @var{upr} is called for any reads to an external address.  The
756 19 jeremybenn
@var{class_ptr} is passed back with these upcalls, allowing the
757
function to associate the call with the class which originally
758 93 jeremybenn
initialized the library.  Both @var{upw} and @var{upr} should return
759
zero on success and non-zero otherwise.  At the present time the meaning
760
of non-zero values is not defined but this may change in the future.
761 19 jeremybenn
 
762 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask} indicates which bytes in the data are to be written or
763 82 jeremybenn
read.  Bytes to be read/written should have 0xff set in
764 93 jeremybenn
@var{mask}.  Otherwise the byte should be zero.  The adddress,
765
@var{addr}, is the @emph{full} address, since the upcall function must
766
handle all generic devices, using the full address for decoding.
767 19 jeremybenn
 
768 346 jeremybenn
Endianness is not a concern, since @value{OR1KSIM} is transferring byte
769
vectors, not multi-byte values.

1049
 
1050
When an Ethernet peripheral is configured (@pxref{Ethernet
1051
Configuration, , Ethernet Configuration}), one option is to tunnel
1052
traffic through a TUN/TAP interface.  The low level TAP interface is used
1053
to tunnel raw Ethernet datagrams.
1054
 
1055
The TAP interface can then be connected to a physical Ethernet through a
1056
bridge, allowing the @value{OR1KSIM} model to connect to a physical
1057
network.  This is particularly when @value{OR1KSIM} is running the
1058
OpenRISC Linux kernel image.
1059
 
1060
This section explains how to set up a bridge for use by @value{OR1KSIM}. It does
1061
require superuser access to the host machine (or at least the relevant
1062
network capabilities). A system administrator can modify these
1063
guidelines so they are executed on reboot if appropriate.

1079
TUN/TAP devices can be created dynamically, but this requires superuser
1080
privileges (or at least @code{CAP_NET_ADMIN} capability).  The solution
1081
is to create a persistent TAP device.  This can be done using either
1082
@command{openvpn} or @command{tunctl}.  In either case the package must
1083
be installed on the host system.  Using @command{openvpn}, the following
1084
would set up a TAP interface for a specified user and group.
1085
 
1086
@example
1087
openvpn --mktun --dev tap@emph{n} --user @emph{username} --group @emph{groupname}

@subsection Establishing a Bridge

@cindex Ethernet bridge setup
1094
 
1095
A bridge is a ``virtual'' local area network interfaces, subsuming two or more
1096
existing network interfaces.  In this case we will bridge the physical
1097
Ethernet interface of the host with the TAP interface that will be used
1098
by @value{OR1KSIM}.
1099
 
1100
The Ethernet and TAP must lose their own individual IP addresses (by
1101
setting them to 0.0.0.0) and are replaced by the IP address of the
1102
bridge interface. To do this we use the @command{bridge-utils} package,
1103
which must be installed on the host system. These commands are require
1104
superuser privileges or @code{CAP_NET_ADMIN} capability. To create a new
1105
interface @code{br@emph{n}} the following commands are appropriate.
1106
 
1107
@example
1108
brctl addbr br@emph{n}
1109
brctl addif br@emph{n} eth@emph{x}
1110
brctl addif br@emph{n} tap@emph{y}
1111
 
1112
ifconfig eth@emph{x} 0.0.0.0 promisc up
1113
ifconfig tap@emph{y} 0.0.0.0 promisc up
1114
 
1115
dhclient br@emph{n}
1116
@end example
1117
 
1118
The last command instructs the bridge to obtain its IP address, netmask,
1119
broadcast address, gateway and nameserver information using DHCP.  In a
1120
network without DHCP it should be replaced by @command{ifconfig} to set
1121
a static IP address, netmask and broadcast address.
1122
 
1123
@quotation Note
1124
This will leave a spare dhclient process running in the background,
1125
which should be killed for tidiness. There is a technique to avoid this
1126
using @command{omshell}, but that is beyond the scope of this guide.
1127

appropriate.

1142
@example
1143
iptables -A INPUT -i tap@emph{y} -j ACCEPT

@subsection Disabling Ethernet Filtering

Some systems may have ethernet filtering enabled (@command{ebtables},

1153

1154
 
1155
The easiest way to disable this is by writing zero to all
1156
@file{bridge-nf-*} entries in @file{/proc/sys/net/bridge}. As superuser
1157
the following commands will achieve this.
1158

@cindex Linux (OpenRISC) and Ethernet
1168
 
1169
The main use of this style of Ethernet interface to @value{OR1KSIM} is when
1170
running the OpenRISC Linux kernel with BusyBox. The following commands
1171
in the BusyBox console window will configure the Ethernet interface
1172
(assumed to be @code{eth0}) and bring it up with a DHCP assigned
1173
address.
1174
 
1175
@example
1176
ifconfig eth0
1177
ifup eth0
1178
@end example
1179
 
1180
At this stage interface to IP addresses will work correctly.
1181
 
1182
For DNS to work the BusyBox system needs to know where to find a
1183
nameserver.  Under BusyBox, @command{udhcp} does not configure
1184
@file{/etc/resolv.conf} automatically.
1185
 
1186
The solution is to duplicate the nameserver entry from the
1187
@file{/etc/resolv.conf} file of the host on the BusyBox system. A
1188
typical file might be as follows:
1189
 
1190
@example
1191
@code{nameserver 192.168.0.1}
1192
@end example
1193
 
1194
It is convenient to make this permanent within the Linux initramfs. Add
1195
the file as @code{arch/openrisc/support/initramfs/etc/resolv.conf}
1196
within the Linux source tree and rebuild @code{vmlinux}. It will then be
1197
present automatically.
1198
 
1199
One of the most useful functions that is possible is to mount
1200
the host file system through NFS. For example, from the BusyBox console:
1201
 
1202
@example
1203
mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.0.60:/home /mnt
1204
@end example
1205
 
1206
Another useful technique is to telnet into the BusyBox system from the
1207
host. This is particularly valuable when a console process locks up,
1208
since the @command{xterm} console will not recognize ctrl-C. Instead the
1209
rogue process can be killed from a telnet connection.
1210
 
1211
@node Tearing Down a Bridge
1212
@subsection Tearing Down a Bridge
1213
 
1214
There is little reason why a bridge should ever need to be torn down,
1215
but if desired, the following commands will achieve the effect.
1216
 
1217
@example
1218
ifconfig br@emph{n} down
1219
brctl delbr br@emph{n}
1220
 
1221
dhclient eth@emph{x}
1222
@end example
1223
 
1224
As before this will leave a spare @command{dhclient} process in the
1225
background which should be killed.
1226
 
1227
If desired the TAP interface can be deleted using
1228
 
1229
@example
1230
openvpn --rmtun -dev tap@emph{y}
1231
@end example
1232
 
1233
@quotation Caution
1234
The TAP interface should not be in use when running this command. For

example any OpenRISC Linux/BusyBox sessions should be closed first.

This opcode is particularly useful for situations where a target

This opcode can be used to detect if a target is running under

@value{OR1KSIM} is configured through a configuration file.  This is specified
1336 19 jeremybenn
through the @code{-f} parameter to the @value{OR1KSIM} command, or passed as a
1337 82 jeremybenn
string when initializing the @value{OR1KSIM} library.  If no file is specified,
1338
the default @file{sim.cfg} is used.  The file is looked for first in the
1339 224 jeremybenn
current directory, then in the @file{$HOME/.or1ksim} directory of the user.

1366

@node Configuration File Syntax
1368
@subsection Configuration File Syntax
1369
 
1370
The configuration file is divided into a series of sections, with the general
1371
form:
1372
 
1373
@example
1374
section @var{section_name}
1375
 
1376
  <contents>...
1377
 
1378
end
1379
@end example
1380
 
1381
Sections may also have sub-sections within them (currently only the
1382
ATA/ATAPI disc interface uses this).
1383
 
1384
Within a section, or sub-section are a series of parameter assignments, one
1385
per line, withe the general form
1386
 
1387
@example
1388
  @var{parameter} = @var{value}
1389
@end example
1390
 
1391
Depending on the parameter, the value may be a named value (an enumeration),
1392
an integer (specified in any format acceptable in C) or a string in doubple
1393 82 jeremybenn
quotes.  For flag parameters, the value 1 is used to mean ``true'' or ``on''
1394
and the value ``0'' to mean ``false'' or ``off''.  An example from a memory
1395 19 jeremybenn
section shows each of these
1396
 
1397
@example
1398
section memory
1399
  type    = random
1400
  pattern = 0x00
1401
  name    = "FLASH"
1402
  ...
1403
end
1404
@end example
1405
 
1406
Many parameters are optional and take reasonable default values if not
1407 82 jeremybenn
specified.  However there are some parameters (for example the
1408 19 jeremybenn
@code{ce} parameter in @code{@w{section memory}}) @emph{must} be
1409
specified.
1410
 
1411
Subsections are introduced by a keyword, with a parameter value (no
1412
@code{=} sign), and end with the same keyword prefixed by
1413 82 jeremybenn
@code{end}.  Thus the ATA/ATAPI inteface (@code{@w{section ata}}) has a
1414 19 jeremybenn
@code{device} subsection, thus:
1415
 
1416
@example
1417
section ata
1418
  ...
1419
  device 0
1420
    type    = 1
1421
    file = "@var{filename}"
1422
    ...
1423
  enddevice
1424
  ...
1425
end
1426
@end example
1427
 
1428
Some sections (for example @code{@w{section sim}}) should appear only
1429 82 jeremybenn
once.  Others (for example @code{@w{section memory}} may appear
1430 19 jeremybenn
multiple times.
1431
 
1432
Sections may be omitted, @emph{unless they contain parameters which
1433 82 jeremybenn
are non-optional}.  If the section describes a part of the simulator
1434 19 jeremybenn
which is optional (for example whether it has a UART), then that
1435 82 jeremybenn
functionality will not be provided.  If the section describes a part of
1436 19 jeremybenn
the simulator which is not optional (for example the CPU), then all the
1437
parameters of that section will take their default values.
1438
 
1439
All optional parts of the functionality are always described by
1440
sections including a @code{enabled} parameter, which can be set to 0
1441
to ensure that functionality is explicitly omitted.
1442
 
1443
Even if a section is disabled, all its parameters will be read and
1444 82 jeremybenn
stored.  This is helpful if the section is subsequently enabled from
1445 19 jeremybenn
the @value{OR1KSIM} command line (@pxref{Interactive Command Line, ,
1446
Interactive Command Line}).
1447
 
1448
@quotation Tip
1449
It generally clearer to have sections describing @emph{all}
1450
components, with omitted functionality explicitly indicated by setting
1451
the @code{enabled} parameter to 0

be mapped at 0x93000000.  If a memory controller is @emph{not} enabled,

1993
 
1994
The default value is -1,

As a consequence users are strongly recommended to specify memory

There is no initialization code in the standard @dfn{newlib}
2520
library.
2521 98 jeremybenn
 
2522 385 jeremybenn
The standard @dfn{uClibc} library assumes a memory controller
2523
mapped at 0x93000000 and will initialize the memory controller to expect
2524
64MB memory blocks, and any memory declarations @emph{must} reflect
2525
this.
2526
 
2527 98 jeremybenn
If smaller memory blocks are declared with a memory controller, then
2528
sufficient memory will not be allocated by @value{OR1KSIM}, but out of
2529 346 jeremybenn
range memory accesses will not be trapped.  For example declaring a
2530 98 jeremybenn
memory section from 0-4MB with a memory controller enabled would mean
2531
that accesses between 4MB and 64MB would be permitted, but having no
2532
allocated memory would likely cause a segmentation fault.
2533
 
2534
If the user is determined to use smaller memories with the memory
2535
controller, then custom initialization code must be provided, to
2536
ensure the memory controller traps out-of-memory accesses.

3087
A standard i8042 device has two registers at addresses 0x60 (command)

0x04.
3091

@item enabled = 0|1
3328
@cindex @code{enabled} (generic peripheral configuration)
3329 82 jeremybenn
If 1 (true, the default), this ATA/ATAPI interface is enabled.  If 0,
3330 19 jeremybenn
it is disabled.
3331
 
3332
@item baseaddr = @var{value}
3333
@cindex @code{baseaddr} (generic peripheral configuration)
3334
Set the base address of the generic peripheral's memory mapped
3335 82 jeremybenn
registers to @var{value}.  The default is 0, which is probably not a
3336 19 jeremybenn
sensible value.
3337
 
3338
The size of the memory mapped register space is controlled by the
3339
@code{size} paramter, described below.
3340
 
3341
@item size = @var{value}
3342
@cindex @code{size} (generic peripheral configuration)
3343
Set the size of the generic peripheral's memory mapped register space
3344 82 jeremybenn
to @var{value} bytes.  Any read or write accesses to addresses with
3345 19 jeremybenn
offsets of 0 to @var{value}-1 bytes from the base address specified in
3346
parameter @code{baseaddr} (see above) will be directed to the external
3347
interface.
3348
 
3349 82 jeremybenn
@var{value} will be rounded up the nearest power of 2.  It's default
3350
value is zero.  If @var{value} is not an exact power of two, accesses
3351 19 jeremybenn
to address offsets of @var{value} or above up to the next power of 2
3352
will generate a warning, and have no effect (reads will return zero).
3353
 
3354
@item name = "@var{str}"
3355
@cindex @code{name} (generic peripheral configuration)
3356 82 jeremybenn
This gives the peripheral the name @code{"@var{str}"}.  This is used to
3357 19 jeremybenn
identify the peripheral in error messages and warnings, and when
3358 82 jeremybenn
reporting its status.  The default value is @code{@w{"anonymous

@node Verification API
3655
@chapter Verification API (VAPI)
3656
 
3657
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
3658 82 jeremybenn
components of the simulation to be controlled externally.  The
3659 19 jeremybenn
interface is polled for new requests on each simulated clock
3660 82 jeremybenn
cycle.  Components within the simulator may send responses to such
3661 19 jeremybenn
requests.
3662
 
3663 82 jeremybenn
The inteface is an asynchronous duplex protocol.  On the request side
3664 19 jeremybenn
it provides for simple commands, known as VAPI IDs (a 32 bit integer),
3665 82 jeremybenn
with a single piece of data (also a 32 bit integer).  On the send side,
3666
it provides for sending a single VAPI ID and data.  However there is no
3667
explicit command-response structure.  Some components just accept
3668
requests (e.g.  to set values), some just generate sends (to report
3669 19 jeremybenn
values), and some do both.
3670
 
3671
Each component has a base ID (32 bit) and its commands will start from
3672 82 jeremybenn
that base ID.  This provides a simple partitioning of the command space
3673
amongst components.  Request commands will be directed to the component with
3674 19 jeremybenn
the closest base ID lower than the VAPI ID of the command.
3675
 
3676
Thus if there are two components with base IDs of 0x200 and 0x300, and
3677
a request with VAPI ID of 0x203 is received, it will be directed to
3678
the first component as its command #3.
3679
 
3680
The results of VAPI interactions are logged (by default in
3681
@file{vapi.log} unless an alternative is specified in @code{@w{section
3682
vapi}}).
3683
 
3684
Currently the following components support VAPI:

3687
 
3688
@item Debug Unit
3689
@cindex Debug Unit verification (VAPI)
3690
@cindex VAPI for Debug Unit
3691
Although the Debug Unit can specify a base VAPI ID, it is not used to
3692
send commands or receive requests.
3693
 
3694
Instead, if the base VAPI ID is set, all remote JTAG protocol exchanges are
3695
logged in the VAPI log file.
3696
 
3697
@item UART
3698
@cindex UART verification (VAPI)
3699
@cindex VAPI for UART
3700
If a base VAPI ID is specified, the UART sends details of any chars or
3701
break characters sent, with dteails of the line control register etc
3702
encoded in the data packet sent.
3703
 
3704
This supports a single VAPI command request, but encodes a sub-command in the
3705
top 8 bits of the associated data.

3709
@item 0x00

3711
This stuffs the least significant 8 bits of the data into the serial
3712
register of the UART and the next 8 bits into the line control
3713

@section Coding Conventions for @value{OR1KSIM}
3835
 
3836
This chapter provides some guidelines for coding, to facilitate
3837
extensions to @value{OR1KSIM}
3838
 
3839
@table @emph
3840
 
3841
@item GNU Coding Standard
3842
Code should follow the GNU coding standard for C
3843 82 jeremybenn
(@url{http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/}.  If in doubt, put your code
3844 19 jeremybenn
through the @command{indent} program.
3845
 
3846
@item @code{#include} headers
3847
All C source code files should include @file{config.h} before any
3848
other file.
3849
 
3850
This should be followed by inclusion of any system headers (but see
3851
the comments about portability and @file{port.h} below) and then by
3852
any @value{OR1KSIM} package headers.
3853
 
3854
If @file{port.h} is required, it should be the first package header to
3855
be included after the system headers.
3856
 
3857
All C source code and header files should directly include any system
3858 82 jeremybenn
or package header they depend on, i.e.  not rely on any other header
3859
having already included it.  The two exceptions are
3860 19 jeremybenn
 
3861
@enumerate
3862
@item
3863
All header files may assume that @file{config.h} has already been
3864
included.
3865
 
3866
@item
3867
System headers which impose portability problems should be included by
3868
using the package header @file{port.h}, rather than the system headers
3869 82 jeremybenn
themselves.  This is the case for code requiring
3870 19 jeremybenn
 
3871
@itemize @bullet
3872
 
3873
@item
3874
@code{strndup} (from @file{string.h})
3875
 
3876
@item
3877
Integer types (@code{int@var{n}_t}, @code{uint@var{n}_t}) (from
3878
@file{inttypes.h}).
3879
 
3880
@item
3881
@code{isblank} (from @file{ctype.h})
3882
 
3883
@end itemize
3884
 
3885
@end enumerate
3886
 
3887
@item @code{#include} files once only
3888
All include files should be protected by @code{#ifndef} to ensure
3889 82 jeremybenn
their definitions are only included once.  For instance a header file
3890 19 jeremybenn
@file{@var{x-y.h}} should surround its contents with:
3891
 
3892
@example
3893
#ifndef X_Y__H
3894
#define X_Y__H
3895
 
3896
<body of the include file>
3897
 
3898
#endif  /* X_Y__H */
3899
@end example
3900
 
3901
@item Avoid @code{typedef}
3902
The GNU coding style for C does not have a clear way to distinguish
3903 82 jeremybenn
between user type name and user variables.  For this reason
3904 19 jeremybenn
@code{typedef} should be avoided except for the most ubiquitous user
3905 82 jeremybenn
defined types.  This makes the code much easier to read.
3906 19 jeremybenn
 
3907
There are some @code{typedef} declarations in the @command{argtable2}
3908
library and the @acronym{ELF} and @acronym{COFF} headers, because this
3909
code is taken from other places.
3910
 
3911
Within @value{OR1KSIM} legacy uses of @code{typedef} have largely been
3912
purged, except in the Custom Unit Compiler (@pxref{CUC Configuration,
3913
, Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration}).
3914
 
3915
The remaining uses of @code{typedef} occur in two places:
3916
 
3917
@itemize @bullet
3918
 
3919
@item
3920
@file{port/port.h} defines types to replace those in header files that
3921
are not available (character functions, string duplication, integer
3922
types).
3923
 
3924
@file{cpu/or1k/arch.h} defines types for the key @value{OR1KSIM}
3925
entities: addresses (@code{oraddr_t}), unsigned register values
3926
(@code{uorreg_t}) and signed register (@code{orreg_t}) values.
3927
 
3928
@end itemize
3929
 
3930
Where new types are defined, they should appear in one of these two
3931 82 jeremybenn
files as appropriate.  @value{OR1KSIM} specific types appearing in
3932 19 jeremybenn
@file{arch.h} should always have the suffix @file{_h}.
3933
 
3934
@item Don't begin names with underscore
3935
Names beginning with @code{_} are intended to be part of the C
3936 82 jeremybenn
infrastructure.  They should not be used in the simulator code.
3937 19 jeremybenn
 
3938
@item Keep Non-global top level entities static
3939
All top level entities (functions, variables), which are not
3940 82 jeremybenn
explicitly part of a global interface should be declared static.  This
3941 19 jeremybenn
ensures that unwanted connections are not inadvertently built across
3942
the program.
3943
 
3944
@item Use of @code{inline}
3945 82 jeremybenn
Code should not be declared @code{inline}.  Modern compilers can work
3946 19 jeremybenn
out for themselves what is best in this respect.
3947
 
3948
@item Initialization
3949 82 jeremybenn
All data structures should be explicitly initialized.  In particular
3950 19 jeremybenn
code should not rely on static data structures being initialized to
3951
zero.
3952
 
3953
The rationale is that in future static data structures may become
3954 82 jeremybenn
dynamic.  This has been a particular source of bugs in @value{OR1KSIM}
3955 19 jeremybenn
historically.
3956
 
3957
A specific case is with new peripherals, which should always include a
3958
@code{start} function to pre-initialize all configuration parameters
3959
to sensible defaults
3960
 
3961
@item Configuration Validation
3962
All configuration values should be validated, preferably when
3963
encountered, if not when the @code{section} is closed, or otherwise
3964
at run time when the parameter is first used.

@cindex interrupts
4088
@findex report_interrupt
4089
@findex clear_interrupt
4090
@findex mtspr
4091
An internal peripheral can model the effect of an interrupt being
4092
asserted by calling @code{report_interrupt}.  This is used for both edge
4093
and level sensitive interrupts.
4094
 
4095
The effect is to set the corresponding bit in the PICSR SPR and to queue
4096
an interrupt exception to take place after the current instruction
4097
completes execution.
4098
 
4099
Externally, the different interrupts require different mechanisms for
4100
clearing.  Level sensitive interrupts should be cleared by deasserting
4101
the interrupt line, edge sensitive interrupts by clearing the
4102
corresponding bit in the PICSR SPR.
4103
 
4104
Internally this amounts to the same thing (clearing the PICSPR bit), so
4105
a single function is provided, @code{clear_interrupt}.  Note however that
4106
when level sensitive interrupts are configured, PICSR is read only, and
4107
can only be cleared by calling @code{clear_interrupt}.  Using the two
4108
functions provided will ensure the peripheral works correctly whichever
4109
type of interrupt is used.
4110
 
4111
@quotation Note
4112
Until an interrupt is cleared, all subsequent interrupts are ignored
4113
with a warning.

@value{OR1KSIM} now includes a regression test suite for both standalone
4134
and library usage as described earlier (@pxref{Build and Install,
4135
, Building and Installing}).  Running the tests requires that the
4136
OpenRISC toolchain and DejaGNU are both installed.
4137
 
4138
Tests are written using @command{expect}, a derivative of TCL.
4139
Documentation of DejaGnu, @command{expect} and TCL are freely available
4140
on the Web.  The Embecosm Application Note 8, @cite{Howto: Using DejaGnu
4141

4142
(@uref{http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean8.html}) provides a concise

4147
 
4148
@table @code

@item global-conf.exp

@cindex DejaGnu configuration
4151
This is the global DejaGNU configuration file used to set up parameters

common to all tests.  If the user has the environment varialbe
4153
@env{DEJAGNU} defined, it will be used instead, but this is not

This contains DejaGnu board configurations.  Since the tests are
4170
generally run on a Unix host, this should just contain @file{Unix.exp}.
4171
 
4172
@item lib
4173
@cindex DejaGnu tool specific configuration
4174
This contains DejaGnu tool specific configurations.  ``Tool'' has a
4175
specific meaning in DejaGNU, referring just to a grouping of tests.  In
4176
this case there are two such ``tools'', ``or1ksim'' and ``libsim''
4177
for tests of the standalone tool and tests of the library.
4178
 
4179
Corresponding to this, there are two tool specific configuration files,
4180
@file{or1ksim.exp} and @file{libsim.exp}.  These contain @command{expect}/TCL
4181
procedures for common use among the tests.

chain to run with either standalone @value{OR1KSIM} or the library.
4204
This directory includes its own @file{configure.ac}, since it must set

To add a new test needs the following steps.
4210
 
4211
@itemize @bullet
4212
 
4213
@item
4214 346 jeremybenn
Put new host C code in its own directory within @file{test-code}.  Add
4215 104 jeremybenn
the directory to the existing @file{Makefile.am} in the @file{test-code}
4216 346 jeremybenn
directory and create a @file{Makefile.am} in the new directory to drive
4217
building the test program(s).  Don't forget to add the new
4218
@file{Makefile} to the top level @file{configure.ac} so it gets
4219
generated. Not all tests require code here.
4220 104 jeremybenn
 
4221
@item
4222 346 jeremybenn
Put new target C code in its own directory within @file{test-code-or1k}.
4223
Once again modify & create @file{Makefile.am}.  This time modify the
4224
@file{configure.ac} in the @file{test-code-or1k} so the @file{Makefile}
4225
gets generated.  The existing programs provide examples to start from,
4226
including custom linker scripts where needed.
4227 104 jeremybenn
 
4228
@item
4229
Add one or more tests and configuration files to the relevant ``tool''
4230 346 jeremybenn
test directory.  Use the existing tests as templates.  They make heavy
4231
use of the @command{expect}/TCL procedures in the @file{config}
4232
directory to facilitate driving the tests.
