1.1 Preparation
===============
Unpack the software and create a _separate_ directory in which to build
it:
tar jxf or1ksim-2010-06-09.tar.bz2
mkdir builddir_or1ksim
cd builddir_or1ksim
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Configuring the Build, Next: Build and Install, Prev: Preparation, Up: Installation
1.2 Configuring the Build
=========================
Configure the software using the `configure' script in the main
directory.
The most significant argument is `--target', which should specify the
OpenRISC 1000 32-bit architecture. If this argument is omitted, it will
default to OpenRISC 1000 32-bit with a warning
../or1ksim-2010-06-09/configure --target=or32-uclinux ...
There are several other options available, many of which are standard
to GNU `configure' scripts. Use `configure --help' to see all the
options. The most useful is `--prefix' to specify a directory for
installation of the tools.
For testing (using `make check'), the `--target' parameter _must_ be
specified, to allow the target tool chain to be selected. If the tools
have been installed using the standard OpenRISC script, then this
should be set to `or32-elf'.
A number of Or1ksim specific features in the simulator do require
enabling at configuration. These include
`--enable-profiling'
`--disable-profiling'
If enabled, Or1ksim is compiled for profiling with `gprof'. This
is disabled by default. Only really of value for developers of
Or1ksim.
`--enable-execution=simple'
`--enable-execution=complex'
`--enable-execution=dynamic'
Or1ksim has developed to improve functionality and performance.
This feature allows three versions of Or1ksim to be built
`--enable-execution=simple'
Build the original simple interpreting simulator
`--enable-execution=complex'
Build a more complex interpreting simulator. Experiments
suggest this is 50% faster than the simple simulator. This
is the default.
`--enable-execution=dynamic'
Build a dynamically compiling simulator. This is the way
many modern ISS are built. This represents a work in
progress. Currently Or1ksim will compile, but segfaults if
configured with this option.
The default is `--enable-execution=complex'.
`--enable-ethphy'
`--disable-ethphy'
If enabled, this option allows the Ethernet to be simulated by
connecting via a socket (the alternative reads and writes, from
and to files). This must then be configured using the relevant
fields in the `ethernet' section of the configuration file. *Note
Ethernet Configuration: Ethernet Configuration.
The default is for this to be disabled.
`--enable-range-stats'
`--disable-range-stats'
If enabled, this option allows statistics to be collected to
analyse register access over time. The default is for this to be
disabled.
`--enable-arith-flag'
`--disable-arith-flag'
If enabled, this option causes instructions to set the flag (`F'
bit) in the supervision register. The instructions affected by
this are `l.add', `l.addc', `l.addi', `l.and' and `l.andi'.
The default is for this to be disabled.
Caution: As with `--enable-ov-flag', this appears another
very dangerous option, to the extent of arguably being a bug.
It also appears to be only partially implemented--why only
the instructions early in the alphabet?
Whether or not flags are set is part of the OpenRISC 1000
architectural specification. The only flags which should set
this are the "set flag" instructions: `l.sfeq', `l.sfeqi',
`l.sfges', `l.sfgesi', `l.sfgeu', `l.sfgeui', `l.sfgts',
`l.sfgtsi', `l.sfgtu', `l.sfgtui', `l.sfles', `l.sflesi',
`l.sfleu', `l.sfleui', `l.sflts', `l.sfltsi', `l.sfltu',
`l.sfltui', `l.sfne' and `l.sfnei'.
The flags are correctly set (irrespective of
`--enable-arith_flag').
Correct behavior is thus achieved if this flag is not set.
`--enable-arith-flag' should never be used.
`--enable-debug'
`--disable-debug'
This is a feature of the Argtable2 package used to process
arguments. If enabled, some debugging features are turned on in
Argtable2. It is provided for completeness, but there is no
reason why this feature should ever be needed by any Or1ksim user.
`--enable-all-tests'
`--disable-all-tests'
Some of the tests (at the time of writing just one) will not
compile without error. If enabled with this flag, all test
programs will be compiled with `make check'.
This flag is intended for those working on the test package, who
wish to get the missing test(s) working.
A number of configuration flags have been removed since version 0.3.0,
because they led to invalid behavior of Or1ksim. Those removed include
`--enable-ov-flag'
`--disable-ov-flag'
This flag used to cause certain instructions to set the overflow
flag. If not, those instructions would not set the overflow flat.
The instructions affected by this were `l.add', `l.addc',
`l.addi', `l.and', `l.andi', `l.div', `l.divu', `l.mul', `l.muli',
`l.or', `l.ori', `l.sll', `l.slli', `l.srl', `l.srli', `l.sra',
`l.srai', `l.sub', `l.xor' and `l.xori'.
This guaranteed incorrect behavior. The OpenRISC 1000 architecture
specification defines which flags are set by which instructions.
Within the above list, the arithmetic instructions (`l.add',
`l.addc', `l.addi', `l.div', `l.divu', `l.mul', `l.muli' and
`l.sub'), together with `l.addic' which is missed out, set the
overflow flag. All the others (`l.and', `l.andi', `l.or',
`l.ori', `l.sll', `l.slli', `l.srl', `l.srli', `l.sra', `l.srai',
`l.xor' and `l.xori') do not.

1.3 Building and Installing
===========================
Build the tool with:
make all
If you have the OpenRISC tool chain and DejaGNU installed, you can
verify the tool as follows (otherwise omit this step):
make check
Install the tool with:
make install
This will install the three variations of the Or1ksim tool,
`or32-uclinux-sim', `or32-uclinux-psim' and `or32-uclinux-mpsim', the
Or1ksim library, `libsim', the header file, `or1ksim.h' and this
documentation in `info' format.
Note: Testing Or1ksim with `make check' is not yet supported.
The documentation may be created and installed in alternative formats
(PDF, Postscript, DVI, HTML) with for example:
make pdf
make install-pdf

1.4 Known Problems and Issues
=============================
The following problems and issues are known about with Or1ksim
2010-06-09. The OpenRISC tracker may be used to see the current state
of these issues and to raise new problems and feature requests. It may
be found at `http://www.opencores.org/ptracker.cgi/view/or1k/398'.
* The Supervision Register Little Endian Enable (LEE) bit is
ignored. Or1ksim can be built for either little endian or big
endian use, but that behavior cannot be changed dynamically.
* The NPC is a read/write register, but after being written it
clears the pipeline. This means that if the processor is stalled,
the value should subsequently read back as 0, until the processor
is unstalled and able to refill its pipeline. By default Or1ksim
always reports back the value of NPC, even when it has been
written while stalled.
There is now an option, `--strict-npc', which will enforce this
behavior. At some stage in the future it will become the default
behavior, but for now it is an option, since its use will break
GDB.
* The memory components are given names in the configuration file.
However there is currently no way for Or1ksim to report that name
back to the user (for example to identify which memory block
corresponds to a particular access).
* Or1ksim allows the processor to be stalled (from the command
line), even if there is no debugger present. This seems to be a
meaningless operation.
* Or1ksim is not reentrant, so a program cannot instantiate multiple
instances using the library. This is clearly a problem when
considering multi-core applications. However it stems from the
original design, and can only be fixed by a complete rewrite. The
entire source code uses static global constants liberally!
* There is no support for single precision floating point
instructions in Or1ksim if configured in the CPU (*note CPU
Configuration: CPU Configuration.). These are implemented using
the floating point support in the host C library, which will
usually be IEEE 745 compliant. There is at present no support for
double precision floating point instructions, since these are
meaningless with 32-bit registers.
Floating point support within OpenRISC is intended to follow IEEE
745, which offers a degree of configurability. However at present
the FPSCR register is not supported, so there is no mechanism for
configuring floating point behavior. Thus the default
functionality of the host C library will be used.
* The single precision floating point multiply and add instruction,
`lf.madd.s', is not clearly specified in the original architectural
manual. User should consult the `OpenRISC 1200 version 2
Supplementary Programmer's Reference Manual' for a specification
of the functionality implemented.

* Standalone Simulator::
* Profiling Utility::
* Memory Profiling Utility::
* Simulator Library::
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Standalone Simulator, Next: Profiling Utility, Up: Usage
2.1 Standalone Simulator
========================
The general form the standalone command is:
or32-uclinux-sim [-vhi] [-f FILE] [--nosrv] [--srv=[N]] [-d STR]
[--enable-profile] [--enable-mprofile] [FILE]
Many of the options have both a short and a long form. For example
`-h' or `--help'.
`-v'
`--version'
Print out the version and copyright notice for Or1ksim and exit.
`-h'
`--help'
Print out help about the command line options and what they mean.
`-f FILE'
`--file FILE'
Read configuration commands from the specified file, looking first
in the current directory, and otherwise in the `$HOME/.or1k'
directory. If this argument is not specified, the file `sim.cfg'
in those two locations is used. Failure to find the file is a
fatal error. *Note Configuration: Configuration, for detailed
information on configuring Or1ksim.
`--nosrv'
Do not start up the debug server. This overrides any setting
specified in the configuration file. This option may not be
specified with `--srv'. If it is, a rude message is printed and
the `--nosrv' option is ignored.
`--srv'
`--srv=N'
Start up the debug server. If the parameter, N, is specified, use
that as the TCP/IP port for the server, otherwise a random value
from the private port range (41920-65535) will be used. This
option may not be specified with `--nosrv'. If it is, a rude
message is printed and the `--nosrv' option is ignored.
`-d=CONFIG_STRING'
`--debug-config=CONFIG_STRING'
Enable selected debug messages in Or1ksim. This parameter is for
use by developers only, and is not covered further here. See the
source code for more details.
`-i'
`--interactive'
After starting, drop into the Or1ksim interactive command shell.
`--strict-npc'
In real hardware, setting the next program counter (NPC, SPR 16),
flushes the processor pipeline. The consequence of this is that
until the pipeline refills, reading the NPC will return zero.
This is typically the case when debugging, since the processor is
stalled.
Historically, Or1ksim has always returned the value of the NPC,
irrespective of when it is changed. If the `--strict-npc' option
is used, then Or1ksim will mirror real hardware more accurately.
If the NPC is changed while the processor is stalled, subsequent
reads of its value will return 0 until the processor is unstalled.
This is not currently the default behavior, since tools such as
GDB have been implemented assuming the historic Or1ksim behavior.
However at some time in the future it will become the default.
`--enable-profile'
Enable instruction profiling.
`--enable-mprofile'
Enable memory profiling.

Many of the options have both a short and a long form. For example
`-h' or `--help'.
`-v'
`--version'
Print out the version and copyright notice for the Or1ksim
profiling utility and exit.
`-h'
`--help'
Print out help about the command line options and what they mean.
`-c'
`--cumulative'
Show cumulative sum of cycles in functions

2.3 Memory Profiling Utility
============================
This utility analyses memory profile data generated by Or1ksim. It may
be invoked as a standalone command, or from the Or1ksim CLI. The
general form the standalone command is:
or32-uclinux-mprofile [-vh] [-m=M] [-g=N] [-f=FILE] FROM TO
Many of the options have both a short and a long form. For example
`-h' or `--help'.
`-v'
`--version'
Print out the version and copyright notice for the Or1ksim memory
profiling utility and exit.
`-h'
`--help'
Print out help about the command line options and what they mean.
`-m=M'
`--mode=M'
Specify the mode out output. Permitted options are
`detailed'

`width'
`w'
Access width only.
`-g=N'
`--group=N'
Group 2^n bits of successive addresses together.
`-f=FILE'
`--filename=FILE'
The data file to analyse. If not specified, the default,
`sim.profile' is used.
`FROM'
`TO'
FROM and TO are respectively the start and end address of the
region of memory to be analysed.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Simulator Library, Prev: Memory Profiling Utility, Up: Usage
2.4 Simulator Library
=====================
Or1ksim may be used as a static of dynamic library, `libsim.a' or
`libsim.so'. When compiling with the static library, the flag, `-lsim'
should be added to the link command.
The header file `or1ksim.h' contains appropriate declarations of the
functions exported by the Or1ksim library. These are:
-- `or1ksim.h': int or1ksim_init (const char
*CONFIG_FILE, const char *IMAGE_FILE, void *CLASS_PTR, int
(*UPR)(void *CLASS_PTR, unsigned long int ADDR, unsigned char
MASK[], unsigned char RDATA[], int DATA_LEN), int (*UPW)(void
*CLASS_PTR, unsigned long int ADDR, unsigned char MASK[], unsigned
char WDATA[], int DATA_LEN))
The initialization function is supplied with the name of a
configuration file, CONFIG_FILE, an executable image, IMAGE_FILE,
a pointer to the calling class, CLASS_PTR (since the library may
be used from C++) and two up-call functions, one for reads, UPR,
and one for writes, UPW.
*Note Configuration: Configuration, for detailed information on
configuring Or1ksim and the format of the configuration file.
UPW is called for any write to an address external to the model
(determined by a `generic' section in the configuration file).
UPR is called for any reads to an external address. The CLASS_PTR
is passed back with these upcalls, allowing the function to
associate the call with the class which originally initialized the
library. Both UPW and UPR should return zero on success and
non-zero otherwise. At the present time the meaning of non-zero
values is not defined but this may change in the future.
MASK indicates which bytes in the data are to be written or read.
Bytes to be read/written should have 0xff set in MASK. Otherwise
the byte should be zero. The adddress, ADDR, is the _full_
address, since the upcall function must handle all generic
devices, using the full address for decoding.
Endianness is not completely transparent, since Or1ksim is
transferring byte vectors, not multi-byte values.
Caution: This is a change from version 0.3.0. It simplifies
the interface, and makes Or1ksim more consistent with payload
representation in SystemC TLM 2.0.
Note: The current implementation of Or1ksim always transfers
single words (4 bytes), using masks if smaller values are
required. In this it mimcs the behavior of the WishBone bus.
-- `or1ksim.h': int or1ksim_run (double DURATION)
Run the simulator for the simulated duration specified (in
seconds).
-- `or1ksim.h': void or1ksim_reset_duration (double DURATION)
Change the duration of a run specified in an earlier call to
`or1ksim_run'. Typically this is called from an upcall, which
realizes it needs to change the duration of the run specified in
the call to `or1ksim_run' that has been interrupted by the upcall.
The time specified is the amount of time that the run must continue
for (i.e the duration from _now_, not the duration from the
original call to `or1ksim_run').
-- `or1ksim.h': void or1ksim_set_time_point ()
Set a timing point. For use with `or1ksim_get_time_period'.
-- `or1ksim.h': double or1ksim_get_time_period ()
Return the simulated time (in seconds) that has elapsed since the
last call to `or1ksim_set_time_point'.
-- `or1ksim.h': int or1ksim_is_le ()
Return 1 (logical true) if the Or1ksim simulation is
little-endian, 0 otherwise.
-- `or1ksim.h': unsigned long int or1ksim_clock_rate ()
Return the Or1ksim clock rate (in Hz). This is the value
specified in the configuration file.
-- `or1ksim.h': void or1ksim_interrupt (int I)
Generate an edge-triggered interrupt on interrupt line I. The
interrupt is then immediately cleared automatically. A warning
will be generated and the interrupt request ignored if level
sensitive interrupts have been configured with the programmable
interrupt controller (*note Interrupt Configuration: Interrupt
Configuration.).
-- `or1ksim.h': void or1ksim_interrupt_set (int I)
Assert a level-triggered interrupt on interrupt line I. The
interrupt must be cleared separately by an explicit call to
`or1ksim_interrupt_clear'. A warning will be generated, and the
interrupt request ignored if edge sensitive interrupts have been
configured with the programmable interrupt controller (*note
Interrupt Configuration: Interrupt Configuration.).
-- `or1ksim.h': void or1ksim_interrupt_clear (int I)
Clear a level-triggered interrupt on interrupt line I, which was
previously asserted by a call to `or1ksim_interrupt_set'. A
warning will be generated, and the interrupt request ignored if
edge sensitive interrupts have been configured with the
programmable interrupt controller (*note Interrupt Configuration:
Interrupt Configuration.).
-- `or1ksim.h': double or1ksim_jtag_reset ()
Drive a reset sequence through the JTAG interface. Return the
(model) time taken for this action. Remember that the JTAG has
its own clock, which can be an order of magnitude slower than the
main clock, so even a reset (5 JTAG cycles) could take 50
processor clock cycles to complete.
-- `or1ksim.h': double or1ksim_jtag_shift_ir (unsigned
char *JREG, int NUM_BITS)
Shift the supplied register through the JTAG instruction register.
Return the (model) time taken for this action. The register is
supplied as a byte vector, with the least significant bits in the
least significant byte. If the total number of bits is not an
exact number of bytes, then the odd bits are found in the least
significant end of the highest numbered byte.
For example a 12-bit register would have bits 0-7 in byte 0 and
bits 11-8 in the least significant 4 bits of byte 1.
-- `or1ksim.h': double or1ksim_jtag_shift_dr (unsigned
char *JREG, int NUM_BITS)
Shift the supplied register through the JTAG data register.
Return the (model) time taken for this action. The register is
supplied as a byte vector, with the least significant bits in the
least significant byte. If the total number of bits is not an
exact number of bytes, then the odd bits are found in the least
significant end of the highest numbered byte.
For example a 12-bit register would have bits 0-7 in byte 0 and
bits 11-8 in the least significant 4 bits of byte 1.
The libraries will be installed in the `lib' sub-directory of the main
installation directory (as specified with the `--prefix' option to the
`configure' script).
For example if the main installation directory is `/opt/or1ksim', the
library will be found in the `/opt/or1ksim/lib' directory. It is
available as both a static library (`libsim.a') and a shared object
(`libsim.so').
To link against the library add the `-lsim' flag when linking and do
one of the following:
* Add the library directory to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment
variable during execution. For example:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/or1ksim/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
* Add the library directory to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment
variable during linking. For example:
export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/or1ksim/lib:$LD_RUN_PATH
* Use the linker `--rpath' option and specify the library directory
when linking your program. For example
gcc ... -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/opt/or1ksim/lib ...
* Add the library directory to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

3 Configuration
***************
Or1ksim is configured through a configuration file. This is specified
through the `-f' parameter to the Or1ksim command, or passed as a
string when initializing the Or1ksim library. If no file is specified,
the default `sim.cfg' is used. The file is looked for first in the
current directory, then in the `$HOME/.or1k' directory of the user.

3.1 Configuration File Format
=============================
The configuration file is a plain text file.
* Menu:
* Configuration File Preprocessing::
* Configuration File Syntax::
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Configuration File Preprocessing, Next: Configuration File Syntax, Up: Configuration File Format
3.1.1 Configuration File Preprocessing
--------------------------------------
The configuration file may include C style comments (i.e. delimited by
`/*' and `*/').
Configure files may be included, using
include FILENAME_TO_INCLUDE
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Configuration File Syntax, Prev: Configuration File Preprocessing, Up: Configuration File Format
3.1.2 Configuration File Syntax
-------------------------------
The configuration file is divided into a series of sections, with the
general form:
section SECTION_NAME
<contents>...
end
Sections may also have sub-sections within them (currently only the
ATA/ATAPI disc interface uses this).
Within a section, or sub-section are a series of parameter assignments,
one per line, withe the general form
PARAMETER = VALUE
Depending on the parameter, the value may be a named value (an
enumeration), an integer (specified in any format acceptable in C) or a
string in doubple quotes. For flag parameters, the value 1 is used to
mean "true" or "on" and the value "0" to mean "false" or "off". An
example from a memory section shows each of these
section memory
type = random
pattern = 0x00
name = "FLASH"
...
end
Many parameters are optional and take reasonable default values if not
specified. However there are some parameters (for example the `ce'
parameter in `section memory') _must_ be specified.
Subsections are introduced by a keyword, with a parameter value (no `='
sign), and end with the same keyword prefixed by `end'. Thus the
ATA/ATAPI inteface (`section ata') has a `device' subsection, thus:
section ata
...
device 0
type = 1
file = "FILENAME"
...
enddevice
...
end
Some sections (for example `section sim') should appear only once.
Others (for example `section memory' may appear multiple times.
Sections may be omitted, _unless they contain parameters which are
non-optional_. If the section describes a part of the simulator which
is optional (for example whether it has a UART), then that
functionality will not be provided. If the section describes a part of
the simulator which is not optional (for example the CPU), then all the
parameters of that section will take their default values.
All optional parts of the functionality are always described by
sections including a `enabled' parameter, which can be set to 0 to
ensure that functionality is explicitly omitted.
Even if a section is disabled, all its parameters will be read and
stored. This is helpful if the section is subsequently enabled from
the Or1ksim command line (*note Interactive Command Line: Interactive
Command Line.).
Tip: It generally clearer to have sections describing _all_
components, with omitted functionality explicitly indicated by
setting the `enabled' parameter to 0
The following sections describe the various configuration sections and
the parameters which may be set in each.

* CUC Configuration::
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Simulator Behavior, Next: Verification API Configuration, Up: Simulator Configuration
3.2.1 Simulator Behavior
------------------------
Simulator behavior is described in `section sim'. This section should
appear only once. The following parameters may be specified.
`verbose = 0|1'
If 1 (true), print extra messages. Default 0.
`debug = 0-9'
0 means no debug messages. 1-9 means produce debug messages. The
higher the value the greater the number of messages. Default 0.
Negative values will be treated as 0 (with a warning). Values
that are too large will be treated as 9 (with a warning).
`profile = 0|1'
If 1 (true) generate a profiling file using the file specified in
the `prof_file' parameter or otherwise `sim.profile'. Default 0.
`prof_file = ``FILENAME'''
Specifies the file to be used with the `profile' parameter.
Default `sim.profile'. For backwards compatibility, the
alternative name `prof_fn' is supported for this parameter, but
deprecated.
`mprofile = 0|1'
If 1 (true) generate a memory profiling file using the file
specified in the `mprof_file' parameter or otherwise
`sim.mprofile'. Default 0.
`mprof_fn = ``FILENAME'''
Specifies the file to be used with the `mprofile' parameter.
Default `sim.mprofile'. For backwards compatibility, the
alternative name `mprof_fn' is supported for this parameter, but
deprecated.
`history = 0|1'
If 1 (true) track execution flow. Default 0.
Note: Setting this parameter seriously degrades performance.
Note: If this execution flow tracking is enabled, then
`dependstats' must be enabled in the CPU configuration
section (*note CPU Configuration: CPU Configuration.).
`exe_log = 0|1'
If 1 (true), generate an execution log. Log is written to the
file specified in parameter `exe_log_file'. Default 0.
Note: Setting this parameter seriously degrades performance.
`exe_log_type = default|hardware|simple|software'
Type of execution log to produce.
`default'
Produce default output for the execution log. In the current
implementation this is the equivalent of `hardware'.
`hardware'
After each instruction execution, log the number of
instructions executed so far, the next instruction to execute
(in hex), the general purpose registers (GPRs), status
register, exception program counter, exception, effective
address register and exception status register.
`simple'
After each instruction execution, log the number of
instructions executed so far and the next instruction to
execute, symbolically disassembled.
`software'
After each instruction execution, log the number of
instructions executed so far and the next instruction to
execute, symbolically disassembled. Also show the value of
each operand to the instruction.
Default value `hardware'. Any unrecognized keyword (case
insensitive) will be treated as the default with a warning.
Note: Execution logs can be _very_ big.
`exe_log_start = VALUE'
Address of the first instruction to start logging. Default 0.
`exe_log_end = VALUE'
Address of the last instruction to log. Default no limit (i.e
once started logging will continue until the simulator exits).
`exe_log_marker = VALUE'
Specifies the number of instructions between printing horizontal
markers. Default is to produce no markers.
`exe_log_file = FILENAME'
Filename for the execution log filename if `exe_log' is enabled.
Default `executed.log'. For backwards compatibility, the
alternative name `exe_log_fn' is supported for this parameter, but
deprecated.
`clkcycle = VALUE[ps|ns|us|ms]'
Specify the time taken by one clock cycle. If no units are
specified, `ps' is assumed. Default 4000ps (250MHz).

3.2.2 Verification API (VAPI) Configuration
-------------------------------------------
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
components of the simulation to be controlled externally. *Note
Verification API: Verification API, for more details.
Verification API configuration is described in `section vapi'. This
section may appear at most once. The following parameters may be
specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), verification API is enabled and its server started.
If 0 (the default), it is disabled.
`server_port = VALUE'
When VAPI is enabled, communication will be via TCP/IP on the port
specified by VALUE. The value must lie in the range 1 to 65535.
The default value is 50000.
Tip: There is no registered port for Or1ksim VAPI. Good
practice suggests users should adopt port values in the
"Dynamic" or "Private" port range, i.e. 49152-65535.
`log_enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), all VAPI requests and sent commands will be logged.
If 0 (the default), logging is diabled. Logs are written to the
file specified by the `vapi_log_file' field (see below).
Caution: This can generate a substantial amount of file I/O
and seriously degrade simulator performance.
`hide_device_id = 0|1'
If 1 (true) don't log the device ID. If 0 (the default), log the
device ID. This feature (when set to 1) is provided for backwards
compatibility with an old version of VAPI.
`vapi_log_file = "FILENAME"'
Use `filename' as the file for logged data is logging is enabled
(see `log_enabled' above). The default is `"vapi.log"'. For
backwards compatibility, the alternative name `vapi_log_fn' is
supported for this parameter, but deprecated.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: CUC Configuration, Prev: Verification API Configuration, Up: Simulator Configuration
3.2.3 Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration
----------------------------------------------
The Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) was a project by Marko Mlinar to generate
Verilog from ANSI C functions. The project seems to not have progressed
beyond the initial prototype phase. The configuration parameters are
described here for the record.
CUC configuration is described in `section cuc'. This section may
appear at most once. The following parameters may be specified.
`memory_order = none|weak|strong|exact'
This parameter specifies the memory ordering required:
`memory_order=none'
Different memory ordering, even if there are dependencies.
Bursts can be made, width can change.
Different memory ordering, even if there are dependencies. If
dependencies cannot occur, then bursts can be made, width can
change.
Same memory ordering. Bursts can be made, width can change.
Exactly the same memory ordering and widths.
The default value is `memory_order=exact'. Invalid memory
orderings are ignored with a warning.
`calling_convention = 0|1'
If 1 (true), programs follow OpenRISC calling conventions. If 0
(the default), they may use other convenitions.
`enable_bursts = 0 | 1'
If 1 (true), bursts are detected. If 0 (the default), bursts are
not detected.
`no_multicycle = 0 | 1'
If 1 (true), no multicycle logic paths will be generated. If 0
(the default), multicycle logic paths will be generated.
`timings_file = "FILENAME"'
FILENAME specifies a file containing timing information. The
default value is `"virtex.tim"'. For backwards compatibility, the
alternative name `timings_fn' is supported for this parameter, but
deprecated.

File: or1ksim.info, Node: CPU Configuration, Next: Memory Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.1 CPU Configuration
-----------------------
CPU configuration is described in `section cpu'. This section should
appear only once. At present Or1ksim does not model multi-CPU systems.
The following parameters may be specified.
`ver = VALUE'
`cfg = VALUE'
`rev = VALUE'
The values are used to form the corresponding fields in the `VR'
Special Purpose Register (SPR 0). Default values 0. A warning is
given and the value truncated if it is too large (8 bits for `ver'
and `cfg', 6 bits for `rev').
`upr = VALUE'
Used as the value of the Unit Present Register (UPR) Special
Purpose Register (SPR 1) to VALUE. Default value is 0x0000075f,
i.e.
* UPR present (0x00000001)
* Data cache present (0x00000002)
* Instruction cache present (0x00000004)
* Data MMY present (0x00000008)
* Instruction MMU present (0x00000010)
* Debug unit present (0x00000040)
* Power management unit present (0x00000100)
* Programmable interrupt controller present (0x00000200)
* Tick timer present (0x00000400)
However, with the exection of the UPR present (0x00000001) and tick
timer present, the various fields will be modified with the values
specified in their corresponding configuration sections.
`cfgr = VALUE'
Sets the CPU configuration register (Special Purpose Register 2) to
VALUE. Default value is 0x00000020, i.e. support for the ORBIS32
instruction set. Attempts to set any other value are accepted, but
issue a warning that there is no support for the instruction set.
`sr = VALUE'
Sets the supervision register Special Purpose Register (SPR 0x11)
to VALUE. Default value is 0x00008001, i.e. start in supervision
mode (0x00000001) and set the "Fixed One" bit (0x00008000).
Note: This is particularly useful when an image is held in
Flash at high memory (0xf0000000). The EPH bit can be set,
so that interrupt vectors are basedf at 0xf0000000, rather
than 0x0.
`superscalar = 0|1'
If 1, the processor operates in superscalar mode. Default value is
0.
In the current simulator, the only functional effect of superscalar
mode is to affect the calculation of the number of cycles taken to
execute an instruction.
Caution: The code for this does not appear to be complete or
well tested, so users are advised not to use this option.
`hazards = 0|1'
If 1, data hazards are tracked in a superscalar CPU. Default
value is 0.
In the current simulator, the only functional effect is to cause
logging of hazard waiting information if the CPU is superscalar.
However nowhere in the simulator is this data actually computed,
so the net result is probably to have no effect.
if harzards are tracked, current hazards can be displayed using the
simulator's `r' command.
Caution: The code for this does not appear to be complete or
well tested, so users are advised not to use this option.
`dependstats = 0|1'
If 1, inter-instruction dependencies are calculated. Default
value 0.
If these values are calculated, the depencies can be displayed
using the simulator's `stat' command.
Note: This field must be enabled, if execution execution flow
tracking (field `history') has been requested in the simulator
configuration section (*note Simulator Behavior: Simulator
Behavior.).
`sbuf_len = VALUE'
The length of the store buffer is set to VALUE, which must be no
greater than 256. Larger values will be truncated to 256 with a
warning. Negative values will be treated as 0 with a warning.
Use 0 to disable the store buffer.
When the store buffer is active, stores are accumulated and
committed when I/O is idle.
`hardfloat = 0|1'
If 1, hardfloat instructions are enabled. Default value 0.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Memory Configuration, Next: Memory Management Configuration, Prev: CPU Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.2 Memory Configuration
--------------------------
Memory configuration is described in `section memory'. This section
may appear multiple times, specifying multiple blocks of memory.
Caution: The user may choose whether or not to enable a memory
controller. If a memory controller is enabled, then the standard
OpenRISC C libraries will initialize it to expect 64MB memory
blocks, and any memory declarations _must_ reflect this. The
section describing memory controller configuration describes the
steps necessary for using smaller or larger memory sections (*note
Memory Controller Configuration: Memory Controller Configuration.).
If a memory controller is _not_ enabled, then the standard C
library code will generate memory access errors. The solution is
to declare an additional writable memory block, mimicing the memory
controller's register bank as follows.
section memory
pattern = 0x00
type = unknown
name = "MC shadow"
baseaddr = 0x93000000
size = 0x00000080
delayr = 2
delayw = 4
end
The following parameters may be specified.
`type=random|pattern|unknown|zero'
Specifies the values to which memory should be initialized. The
default value is `unknown'.
`random'
Set the memory values to be a random value. A seed for the
random generator may be set using the `random_seed' field in
this section (see below), thus ensuring the same "random"
values are used each time.
`pattern'
Set the memory values to be a pattern value, which is set
using the `pattern' field in this section (see below).
`unknown'
The memory values are not initialized (i.e. left "unknown").
This option will yield faster initialization of the simulator.
`zero'
Set the memory values to be 0. This is the equivalent of
`type=pattern' and a `pattern' value of 0, and implemented as
such.
Note: As a consequence, if the `pattern' field is
_subsequently_ specified in this section, the value in
that field will be used instead of zero to initialize
the memory.
`random_seed = VALUE'
Set the seed for the random number generator to VALUE. This only
has any effect for memory type `random'.
The default value is -1, which means the seed will be set from a
call to the `time' function, thus ensuring different random values
are used on each run. The simulator prints out the seed used in
this case, allowing repeat runs to regenerate the same random
values used in any particular run.
`pattern = VALUE'
Set the pattern to be used when initializing memory to VALUE. The
default value is 0. This only has any effect for memory type
`pattern'. The least significant 8 bits of this value is used to
initialize each byte. More than 8 bits can be specified, but will
ignored with a warning.
Tip: The default value, is equivalent to setting the memory
`type' to be `zero'. If that is what is intended, then using
`type=zero' explicitly is better than using `type=pattern'
and not specifying a value for `pattern'.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the memory to VALUE. It should be aligned
to a multiple of the memory size rounded up to the nearest 2^n.
The default value is 0.
`size = VALUE'
Set the size of the memory block to be VALUE bytes. This should
be a multiple of 4 (i.e. word aligned). The default value is
1024.
Note: When allocating memory, the simulator will allocate the
nearest 2^n bytes greater than or equal to VALUE, and will not
notice memory misses in any part of the memory between VALUE
and the amount allocated.
As a consequence users are strongly recommended to specify
memory sizes that are an exact power of 2. If some other
amount of memory is required, it should be specified as
separate, contiguous blocks, each of which is a power of 2 in
size.
`name = "TEXT"'
Name the block. Typically these describe the type of memory being
modeled (thus `"SRAM"' or `"Flash"'. The default is
`"anonymous memory block"'.
Note: It is not clear that this information is currently ever
used in normal operation of the simulator. Even the `info'
command of the simulator ignores it.
`ce = VALUE'
Set the chip enable index of the memory instance. Each memory
instance should have a unique chip enable index, which should be
greater than or equal to zero. This is used by the memory
controller when identifying different memory instances.
There is no requirement to set `ce' if a memory controller is not
enabled. The default value is -1 (invalid).
`mc = VALUE'
Specifies the memory controller this memory is connected to. It
should correspond to the `index' field specified in a `section mc'
for a memory controller (*note Memory Controller Configuration:
Memory Controller Configuration.).
There is no requirement to set `mc' if a memory controller is not
enabled. Default value is 0, which is also the default value of a
memory controller `index' field. This is suitable therefore for
designs with just one memory controller.
`delayr = VALUE'
The number of cycles required for a read access. Set to -1 if the
memory does not support reading. Default value 1. The simulator
will add this number of cycles to the total instruction cycle
count when reading from main memory.
`delayw = VALUE'
The number of cycles required for a write access. Set to -1 if the
memory does not support writing. Default value 1. The simulator
will add this number of cycles to the total instruction cycle
count when writing to main memory.
`log = "FILE"'
If specified, `file' names a file for all memory accesses to be
logged. If not specified, the default value, NULL is used, meaning
that the memory is not logged.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Memory Management Configuration, Next: Cache Configuration, Prev: Memory Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.3 Memory Management Configuration
-------------------------------------
Memory Management Unit (MMU) configuration is described in `section
dmmu' (for the data MMU) and `section immu' (for the instruction MMU).
Each section should appear at most once. The following parameters may
be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the data or instruction (as appropriate) MMU is
enabled. If 0 (the default), it is disabled.
`nsets = VALUE'
Sets the number of data or instruction (as appropriate) TLB sets to
VALUE, which must be a power of two, not exceeding 128. Values
which do not fit these criteria are ignored with a warning. The
default value is 1.
`nways = VALUE'
Sets the number of data or instruction (as appropriate) TLB ways to
VALUE. The value must be in the range 1 to 4. Values outside
this range are ignored with a warning. The default value is 1.
`pagesize = VALUE'
The data or instruction (as appropriate) MMU page size is set to
VALUE, which must be a power of 2. Values which are not a power
of 2 are ignored with a warning. The default is 8192 (0x2000).
`entrysize = VALUE'
The data or instruction (as appropriate) MMU entry size is set to
VALUE, which must be a power of 2. Values which are not a power
of 2 are ignored with a warning. The default value is 1.
Note: Or1ksim does not appear to use the `entrysize' parameter
in its simulation of the MMUs. Thus setting this value does
not seem to matter.
`ustates = VALUE'
The number of instruction usage states for the data or instruction
(as appropriate) MMU is set to VALUE, which must be 2, 3 or 4.
Values outside this range are ignored with a warning. The default
value is 2.
Note: Or1ksim does not appear to use the `ustates' parameter
in its simulation of the MMUs. Thus setting this value does
not seem to matter.
`hitdelay = VALUE'
Set the number of cycles a data or instruction (as appropriate) MMU
hit costs. Default value 1.
`missdelay = VALUE'
Set the number of cycles a data or instruction (as appropriate) MMU
miss costs. Default value 1.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Cache Configuration, Next: Interrupt Configuration, Prev: Memory Management Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.4 Cache Configuration
-------------------------
Cache configuration is described in `section dc' (for the data cache)
and `seciton ic' (for the instruction cache). Each section should
appear at most once. The following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the data or instruction (as appropriate) cache is
enabled. If 0 (the default), it is disabled.
`nsets = VALUE'
Sets the number of data or instruction (as appropriate) cache sets
to VALUE, which must be a power of two, not exceeding
`MAX_DC_SETS' (for the data cache) or `MAX_IC_SETS' (for the
instruction cache). At the time of writing, these constants are
both defined in the code to be 1024). The default value is 1.
`nways = VALUE'
Sets the number of data or instruction (as appropriate) cache ways
to VALUE, which must be a power of two, not exceeding
`MAX_DC_WAYS' (for the data cache) or `MAX_IC_WAYS' (for the
instruction cache). At the time of writing, these constants are
both defined in the code to be 32). The default value is 1.
`blocksize = VALUE'
The data or instruction (as appropriate) cache block size is set to
VALUE bytes, which must be either 16 or 32. The default is 16.
`ustates = VALUE'
The number of instruction usage states for the data or instruction
(as appropriate) cache is set to VALUE, which must be 2, 3 or 4.
The default value is 2.
`hitdelay = VALUE'
_Instruction cache only_. Set the number of cycles an instruction
cache hit costs. Default value 1.
`missdelay = VALUE'
_Instruction cache only_. Set the number of cycles an instruction
cache miss costs. Default value 1.
`load_hitdelay = VALUE'
_Data cache only_. Set the number of cycles a data load cache hit
costs. Default value 2.
`load_missdelay = VALUE'
_Data cache only_. Set the number of cycles a data load cache
miss costs. Default value 2.
`store_hitdelay = VALUE'
_Data cache only_. Set the number of cycles a data store cache hit
costs. Default value 0.
`store_missdelay = VALUE'
_Data cache only_. Set the number of cycles a data store cache
miss costs. Default value 0.

3.3.5 Interrupt Configuration
-----------------------------
Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) configuration is described in
`section pic'. This section may appear at most once--Or1ksim has no
mechanism for handling multiple interrupt controllers. The following
parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the programmable interrupt controller is enabled. If
0 (the default), it is disabled.
`edge_trigger = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), the programmable interrupt controller is
edge triggered. If 0 (false), it is level triggered.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Power Management Configuration, Next: Branch Prediction Configuration, Prev: Interrupt Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.6 Power Management Configuration
------------------------------------
Power management implementation is incomplete. At present the effect
(which only happens when the power management unit is enabled) of
setting the different bits in the power management Special Purpose
Register (PMR, SPR 0x4000) is
`SDF (bit mask 0x0000000f)'
No effect - these bits are ignored
`DME (bit mask 0x00000010)'
`SME (bit mask 0x00000020)'
Both these bits cause the processor to stop executing
instructions. However all other functions (debug interaction, CLI,
VAPI etc) carry on as normal.
`DCGE (bit mask 0x00000004)'
No effect - this bit is ignored
`SUME (bit mask 0x00000008)'
Enabling this bit causes a message to be printed, advising that the
processor is suspending and the simulator exits.
On reset all bits are cleared.
Power management configuration is described in `section pm'. This
section may appear at most once. The following parameter may be
specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), power management is enabled. If 0 (the default), it
is disabled.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Branch Prediction Configuration, Next: Debug Interface Configuration, Prev: Power Management Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.7 Branch Prediction Configuration
-------------------------------------
From examining the code base, it seems the branch prediction function
is not fully implemented. At present the functionality seems
restricted to collection of statistics.
Branch prediction configuration is described in `section bpb'. This
section may appear at most once. The following parameters may be
specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), branch prediction is enabled. If 0 (the default), it
is disabled.
`btic = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the branch target instruction cache model is enabled.
If 0 (the default), it is disabled.
`sbp_bf_fwd = 0|1'
If 1 (true), use forward prediction for the `l.bf' instruction. If
0 (the default), do not use forward prediction for this
instruction.
`sbp_bnf_fwd = 0|1'
If 1 (true), use forward prediction for the `l.bnf' instruction.
If 0 (the default), do not use forward prediction for this
instruction.
`hitdelay = VALUE'
Set the number of cycles a branch prediction hit costs. Default
value 0.
`missdelay = VALUE'
Set the number of cycles a branch prediction miss costs. Default
value 0.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Debug Interface Configuration, Prev: Branch Prediction Configuration, Up: Core OpenRISC Configuration
3.3.8 Debug Interface Configuration
-----------------------------------
The debug unit and debug interface configuration is described in
`section debug'. This section may appear at most once. The following
parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the debug unit is enabled. If 0 (the default), it is
disabled.
Note: This enables the functionality of the debug unit (its
registers etc) within the mode. It does not provide any
external interface to the debug unit. For that, see
`gdb_enabled' and `rsp_enabled' below.
`rsp_enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the GDB "Remote Serial Protocol" server is started,
provding an interface to an external GNU debugger, using the port
specified in the `rsp_port' field (see below), or the
`or1ksim-rsp' TCP/IP service. If 0 (the default), the server is
not started, and no external interface is provided.
For more detailed information on the interface to the GNU Debugger
see Embecosm Application Note 2, `Howto: Porting the GNU Debugger
Practical Experience with the OpenRISC 1000 Architecture', by
Jeremy Bennett, published by Embecosm Limited (`www.embecosm.com').
Note: `rsp_enabled' may not be enabled with `gdb_enabled' (see
below). If both are enabled, a warning is issued and only
the "Remote Serial Protocol" interface is enabled.
`rsp_port = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the port to be used for the GDB "Remote Serial
Protocol" interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB). Default value
51000. If the value 0 is specified, Or1ksim will instead look for
a TCP/IP service named `or1ksim-rsp'.
Tip: There is no registered port for Or1ksim "Remote Serial
Protocol" service `or1ksim-rsp'. Good practice suggests
users should adopt port values in the "Dynamic" or "Private"
port range, i.e. 49152-65535.
`gdb_enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the OpenRISC Remote JTAG protocol server is started,
provding an interface to an external GNU debugger, using the port
specified in the `server_port' field (see below), or the `or1ksim'
TCP/IP service. If 0 (the default), the server is not started,
and no external interface is provided.
For more detailed information on the interface to the GNU Debugger
see Embecosm Application Note 2, `Howto: Porting the GNU Debugger
Practical Experience with the OpenRISC 1000 Architecture', by
Jeremy Bennett, published by Embecosm Limited (`www.embecosm.com').
Note: The OpenRISC Remote JTAG protocol is unique to
OpenRISC, and remains only for backward compatibility. New
users should adopt the standard GDB "Remote Serial Protocol"
interface (see `rsp_enabled' above) providing access to a
wider range of GDB functionality.
Note: `gdb_enabled' may not be enabled with `rsp_enabled'.
If both are enabled, a warning is issued and only the "Remote
Serial Protocol" interface is enabled.
`server_port = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the port to be used for the OpenRISC Rmote JTAG
protocol interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB). Default value
51000. If the value 0 is specified, Or1ksim will instead look for
a TCP/IP service named `or1ksim'.
Tip: There is no registered port for Or1ksim Remote JTAG
Interface or service `or1ksim'. Good practice suggests users
should adopt port values in the "Dynamic" or "Private" port
range, i.e. 49152-65535.
`vapi_id = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the value of the Verification API (VAPI) base
address to be used with the debug unit. *Note Verification API:
Verification API, for more details.
If this is specified and VALUE is non-zero, all OpenRISC Remote
JTAG protocol transactions will be logged to the VAPI log file, if
enabled. This is the only functionality associated with VAPI for
the debug unit. No VAPI commands are sent, nor requests handled.

3.4.1 Memory Controller Configuration
-------------------------------------
The memory controller used in Or1ksim is the component implemented at
OpenCores, and found in the top level SVN directory, `mem_ctrl'. It is
described in the document `Memory Controller IP Core' by Rudolf
Usselmann, which can be found in the `doc' subdirectory. It is a
memory mapped component, which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone
data bus.
The memory controller configuration is described in `section mc'. This
section may appear multiple times, specifying multiple memory
controllers.
Caution: The standard OpenRISC C libraries will initialize the
memory controller to expect 64MB memory blocks, and any memory
declarations _must_ reflect this.
If smaller memory blocks are declared with a memory controller,
then sufficient memory will not be allocated by Or1ksim, but out of
range memory accesses will not be trapped. For example declaring a
memory section from 0-4MB with a memory controller enabled would
mean that accesses between 4MB and 64MB would be permitted, but
having no allocated memory would likely cause a segmentation fault.
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.
The following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this memory controller is enabled. If
0, it is disabled.
Note: The memory controller can effectively also be disabled
by setting an appropriate power on control register value
(see below). However this should only be used if it is
desired to specifically model this behavior of the memory
controller, not as a way of disabling the memory controller
in general.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the memory controller's memory mapped
registers to VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a
sensible value.
The memory controller has a 7 bit address bus, with a total of 19
32-bit registers, at addresses 0x00 through 0x4c (address 0x0c and
addresses 0x50 through 0x7c are not used).
`poc = VALUE'
Specifies the value of the power on control register, The least
signficant two bits specify the bus width (use 0 for an 8-bit bus,
1 for a 16-bit bus and 2 for a 32-bit bus) and the next two bits
the type of memory connected (use 0 for a disabled interface, 1
for SSRAM, 2 for asyncrhonous devices and 3 for synchronous
devices).
If other bits are specified, they are ignored with a warning.
Caution: The default value, 0, corresponds to a disabled
8-bit bus, and is likely not the most suitable value
`index = VALUE'
Specify the index of this memory controller amongst all the memory
controllers. This value should be unique for each memory
controller, and is used to associate specific memories with the
controller, through the `mc' field in the `section memory'
configuration (*note Memory Configuration: Memory Configuration.).
The default value, 0, is suitable when there is only one memory
controller.

3.4.2 UART Configuration
------------------------
The UART implemented in Or1ksim follows the specification of the
National Semiconductor 16450 and 16550 parts. It is a memory mapped
component, which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.
The component provides a number of interfaces to emulate the behavior
of an external terminal connected to the UART.
UART configuration is described in `section uart'. This section may
appear multiple times, specifying multiple UARTs. The following
parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this UART is enabled. If 0, it is
disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the UART's memory mapped registers to
VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a sensible value.
The UART has a 3 bit address bus, with a total of 8 8-bit
registers, at addresses 0x0 through 0x7.
`channel = "TYPE:ARGS"'
Specify the channel representing the terminal connected to the UART
Rx & Tx pins.
`channel="file:`rxfile',`txfile'"'
Read input characters from the file `rxfile' and write output
characters to the file `txfile' (which will be created if
required).
`channel="xterm:ARGS"'
Create an xterm on startup, write UART Tx traffic to the
xterm and take Rx traffic from the keyboard when the xterm
window is selected. Additional arguments to the xterm
command (for example specifying window size may be specified
in ARGS, or this may be left blank.
`channel="tcp:VALUE"'
Open the TCP/IP port specified by VALUE and read and write
UART traffic from and to it.
Typically a telnet session is connected to the other end of
this port.
Tip: There is no registered port for Or1ksim telnet UART
connection. Priviledged access is required to read
traffic on the registered "well-known" telnet port (23).
Instead users should use port values in the "Dynamic" or
"Private" port range, i.e. 49152-65535.
`channel="fd:`rxfd',`txfd'"'
Read and write characters from and to the existing open
numerical file descriptors, file `rxfd' and `txfd'.
`channel="tty:device=/dev/ttyS0,baud=9600"'
Read and write characters from and to a physical serial port.
The precise device (shown here as `/dev/ttyS0') may vary from
machine to machine.
The default value for this field is `"xterm:"'.
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this UART. Default value 0.
`16550 = 0|1'
If 1 (true), the UART has the functionality of a 16550. If 0 (the
default), it has the functionality of a 16450. The principal
difference is that the 16550 can buffer multiple characters.
`jitter = VALUE'
Set the jitter, modeled as a time to block, to VALUE milliseconds.
Set to -1 to disable jitter modeling. Default value 0.
Note: This functionality has yet to be implemented, so this
parameter has no effect.
`vapi_id = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the value of the Verification API (VAPI) base
address to be used with the UART. *Note Verification API:
Verification API, for more details, which details the use of the
VAPI with the UART.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: DMA Configuration, Next: Ethernet Configuration, Prev: UART Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.3 DMA Configuration
-----------------------
The DMA controller used in Or1ksim is the component implemented at
OpenCores, and found in the top level SVN directory, `wb_dma'. It is
described in the document `Wishbone DMA/Bridge IP Core' by Rudolf
Usselmann, which can be found in the `doc' subdirectory. It is a
memory mapped component, which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone
data bus. The present implementation is incomplete, intended only to
support the Ethernet interface (*note Ethernet Configuration::),
although the Ethernet interface is not yet completed.
DMA configuration is described in `section dma'. This section may
appear multiple times, specifying multiple DMA controllers. The
following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this DMA controller is enabled. If 0,
it is disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the DMA's memory mapped registers to
VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a sensible value.
The DMA controller has a 10 bit address bus, with a total of 253
32-bit registers. The first 5 registers at addresses 0x000 through
0x010 control the overall behavior of the DMA controller. There
are then 31 blocks of 8 registers, controlling each of the 31 DMA
channels available. Addresses 0x014 through 0x01c are not used.
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this DMA controller. Default value
0.
`vapi_id = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the value of the Verification API (VAPI) base
address to be used with the DMA controller. *Note Verification
API: Verification API, for more details, which details the use of
the VAPI with the DMA controller.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Ethernet Configuration, Next: GPIO Configuration, Prev: DMA Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.4 Ethernet Configuration
----------------------------
The Ethernet MAC used in Or1ksim is the component implemented at
OpenCores, and found in the top level SVN directory, `ethmac'. It also
forms part of the OpenRISC SoC, ORPSoC. It is described in the
document `Ethernet IP Core Specification' by Igor Mohor, which can be
found in the `doc' subdirectory. It is a memory mapped component,
which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.
Ethernet configuration is described in `section ethernet'. This
section may appear multiple times, specifying multiple Ethernet
interfaces. The following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this Ethernet MAC is enabled. If 0, it
is disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the MAC's memory mapped registers to
VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a sensible value.
The Ethernet MAC has a 7-bit address bus, with a total of 21
32-bit registers. Addresses 0x54 through 0x7c are not used.
Note: The Ethernet specification describes a Tx control
register, `TXCTRL', at address 0x50. However this register
is not implemented in the Or1ksim model.
`dma = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the DMA controller with which this Ethernet is
associated. The default value is 0.
Note: Support for external DMA is not provided in the current
implementation, and this value is ignored. In any case there
is no equivalent field to which this can be matched in the
current DMA component implementation (*note DMA
Configuration: DMA Configuration.).
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this Ethernet MAC. Default value 0.
`rtx_type = 0|1'
If 1 (true) use a socket interface to the Ethernet (see parameter
`sockif' below). If 0 (the default), use a file interface,
reading and writing from and to the files specified in the
`rxfile' and `txfile' parameters (see below).
Note: By default the socket interface is not provided in
Or1ksim. If it is required, this must be requested when
configuring, by use of the `--enable-ethphy' option to
`configure'.
configure --target=or32-uclinux --enable-ethphy ...
`rx_channel = RXVALUE'
`tx_channel = TXVALUE'
RXVALUE specifies the DMA channel to use for receive and TXVALUE
the DMA channel to use for transmit. Both default to 0.
Note: As noted above, support for external DMA is not
provided in the current implementation, and so these values
are ignored.
`rxfile = "RXFILE"'
`txfile = "TXFILE"'
When `rtx_type' is 0 (see above), RXFILE specifies the file to use
as input and TXFILE specifies the fie to use as output.
The file contains a sequence of packets. Each packet consists of a
packet length (32 bits), followed by that many bytes of data.
Once the input file is empty, the Ethernet MAC behaves as though
there were no data on the Ethernet. The default values of these
parameters are `"eth_rx"' and `"eth_tx"' respectively.
The input file must exist and be readable. The output file must be
writable and will be created if necessary. If either of these
conditions is not met, a warning will be given.
`sockif = "SERVICE"'
When `rtx_type' is 1 (see above), SERVICE specifies the service to
use for communication. This may be TCP/IP or UDP/IP. The default
value of this parameter is `"or1ksim_eth"'.
`vapi_id = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the value of the Verification API (VAPI) base
address to be used with the Ethernet PHY. *Note Verification API:
Verification API, for more details, which details the use of the
VAPI with the DMA controller.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: GPIO Configuration, Next: Display Interface Configuration, Prev: Ethernet Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.5 GPIO Configuration
------------------------
The GPIO used in Or1ksim is the component implemented at OpenCores, and
found in the top level SVN directory, `gpio'. It is described in the
document `GPIO IP Core Specification' by Damjan Lampret and Goran
Djakovic, which can be found in the `doc' subdirectory. It is a memory
mapped component, which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.
GPIO configuration is described in `section gpio'. This section may
appear multiple times, specifying multiple GPIO devices. The following
parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this GPIO is enabled. If 0, it is
disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the GPIO's memory mapped registers to
VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a sensible value.
The GPIO has a 6 bit address bus, with a total of 10 32-bit
registers, although the number of bits that are actively used
varies. Addresses 0x28 through 0x3c are not used.
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this GPIO. Default value 0.
`vapi_id = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the value of the Verification API (VAPI) base
address to be used with the GPIO. *Note Verification API:
Verification API, for more details, which details the use of the
VAPI with the GPIO controller. For backwards compatibility, the
alternative name `base_vapi_id' is supported for this parameter,
but deprecated.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Display Interface Configuration, Next: Frame Buffer Configuration, Prev: GPIO Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.6 Display Interface Configuration
-------------------------------------
Or1ksim models a VGA interface to an external monitor. The VGA
controller used in Or1ksim is the component implemented at OpenCores,
and found in the top level SVN directory, `vga_lcd', with no support
for the optional hardware cursors. It is described in the document
`VGA/LCD Core v2.0 Specifications' by Richard Herveille, which can be
found in the `doc' subdirectory. It is a memory mapped component,
which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.
The current implementation provides only functionality to dump the
screen to a file at intervals.
VGA controller configuration is described in `section vga'. This
section may appear multiple times, specifying multiple VGA controllers.
The following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this VGA is enabled. If 0, it is
disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the VGA controller's memory mapped
registers to VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a
sensible value.
The VGA controller has a 12-bit address bus, with 7 32-bit
registers, at addresses 0x000 through 0x018, and two color lookup
tables at addresses 0x800 through 0xfff. The hardware cursor
registers are not implemented, so addresses 0x01c through 0x7fc
are not used.
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this VGA controller. Default value
0.
`refresh_rate = VALUE'
VALUE specifies number of cycles between screen dumps. Default
value is derived from the simulation clock cycle time (*note
Simulator Behavior: Simulator Behavior.), to correspond to dumping
50 times per simulated second.
`txfile = "FILE"'
FILE specifies the base of the filename for screen dumps.
Successive screen dumps will be in BMP format, in files with the
name `FILENNNN.bmp', where NNNN is a sequential count of the
screen dumps starting at zero. The default value is `"vga_out"'.
For backwards compatibility, the alternative name `filename' is
supported for this parameter, but deprecated.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Frame Buffer Configuration, Next: Keyboard Configuration, Prev: Display Interface Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.7 Frame Buffer Configuration
--------------------------------
Caution: The frame buffer is only partially implemented. Its
configuration fields are described here, but the component should
not be used at this time. Like the VGA controller, it is designed
to make screen dumps to file.
Frame buffer configuration is described in `section fb'. This section
may appear multiple times, specifying multiple frame buffers. The
following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this frame buffer is enabled. If 0, it
is disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the frame buffer's memory mapped registers
to VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a sensible
value.
The frame buffer has an 121-bit address bus, with 4 32-bit
registers, at addresses 0x000 through 0x00c, and a PAL lookup
table at addresses 0x400 through 0x4ff. Addresses 0x010 through
0x3fc and addresses 0x500 through 0x7ff are not used.
`refresh_rate = VALUE'
VALUE specifies number of cycles between screen dumps. Default
value is derived from the simulation clock cycle time (*note
Simulator Behavior: Simulator Behavior.), to correspond to dumping
50 times per simulated second.
`txfile = "FILE"'
FILE specifies the base of the filename for screen dumps.
Successive screen dumps will be in BMP format, in files with the
name `FILENNNN.bmp', where NNNN is a sequential count of the
screen dumps starting at zero. The default value is `"fb_out"'.
For backwards compatibility, the alternative name `filename' is
supported for this parameter, but deprecated.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Keyboard Configuration, Next: Disc Interface Configuration, Prev: Frame Buffer Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.8 Keyboard Configuration (PS2)
----------------------------------
The PS2 interface provided by Or1ksim is not documented. It may be
based on the PS2 project at OpenCores, and found in the top level SVN
directory, `ps2'. However this project lacks any documentation beyond
its project webpage. Since most PS2 interfaces follow the Intel i8042
standard, this is presumably what is expected with this device.
The implementation only provides for keyboard support, which is
modelled as a file of keystrokes. There is no mouse support.
Caution: A standard i8042 device has two registers at addresses
0x60 (command) and 0x64 (status). Inspection of the code,
suggests that the Or1ksim component places these registers at
addresses 0x00 and 0x04.
The port of Linux for the OpenRISC 1000, which runs on Or1ksim
implements the i8042 device driver, anticipating these registers
reside at their conventional address. It seems unlikel that this
code will work.
This component should be used with caution.
Keyboard configuration is described in `section kbd'. This section may
appear multiple times, specifying multiple keyboard interfaces. The
following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this keyboard is enabled. If 0, it is
disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the keyboard's memory mapped registers to
VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a sensible value.
The keyboard PS/2 interface has an 3-bit address bus, with 2 8-bit
registers, at addresses 0x000 and 0x004.
Caution: As noted above, a standard Intel 8042 interface
would expect to find these registers at locations 0x60 and
0x64, thus requiring at least a 7-bit bus.
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this Keyboard interface. Default
value 0.
`rxfile = "FILE"'
`file' specifies a file containing raw key stroke data, which
models the input from a physical keyboard. The default value is
`"kbd_in"'.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Disc Interface Configuration, Next: Generic Peripheral Configuration, Prev: Keyboard Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.9 Disc Interface Configuration
----------------------------------
The ATA/ATAPI disc controller used in Or1ksim is the OCIDEC (OpenCores
IDE Controller) component implemented at OpenCores, and found in the
top level SVN directory, `ata'. It is described in the document
`ATA/ATAPI-5 Core Specification' by Richard Herveille, which can be
found in the `doc' subdirectory. It is a memory mapped component,
which resides on the main OpenRISC Wishbone data bus.
ATA/ATAPI configuration is described in `section ata'. This section
may appear multiple times, specifying multiple disc controllers. The
following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this ATA/ATAPI interface is enabled. If
0, it is disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the ATA/ATAPI interface's memory mapped
registers to VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a
sensible value.
The ATA/ATAPI PS/2 interface has an 5-bit address bus, with 8
32-bit registers. Depending on the version of the OCIDEC
ATA/ATAPI interface selected (see `dev_id' below), not all
registers will be available.
`irq = VALUE'
Use VALUE as the IRQ number of this ATA/ATAPI interface. Default
value 0.
`dev_id = 1|2|3'
This parameter specifies which version of the OCIDEC ATA/ATAPI
interface to model. The default value is 1.
Version 1 supports only the `CTRL', `STAT' and `PCTR' registers.
Versions 2 & 3 add the `FCTR' registers, Version 3 adds the `DTR'
registers and the `RXD'/`TXD' registers.
`rev = VALUE'
Set the VALUE as the revision of the OCIDEC ATA/ATAPI interface.
The default value is 1. The default value is 0. Its value should
be in the range 0-15. Larger values are truncated with a warning.
This only affects the reset value of the `STAT' register, where it
forms bits 24-27.
`pio_mode0_t1 = VALUE'
`pio_mode0_t2 = VALUE'
`pio_mode0_t4 = VALUE'
`pio_mode0_teoc = VALUE'
These parameters specify the timings for use with Programmed
Input/Output (PIO) transfers. They are specified as the number of
clock cycles - 2, rounded up to the next highest integer, or zero
if that would be negative. The values should not exceed 255. If
they do, they will be ignored with a warning.
See the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification for explanations of each of these
timing parameters. The default values are:
pio_mode0_t1 = 6
pio_mode0_t2 = 28
pio_mode0_t4 = 2
pio_mode0_teoc = 23
`dma_mode0_tm = VALUE'
`dma_mode0_td = VALUE'
`dma_mode0_teoc = VALUE'
These parameters specify the timings for use with DMA transfers.
They are specified as the number of clock cycles - 2, rounded up
to the next highest integer, or zero if that would be negative.
The values should not exceed 255. If they do, they will be
ignored with a warning.
See the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification for explanations of each of these
timing parameters. The default values are:
dma_mode0_tm = 4
dma_mode0_td = 21
dma_mode0_teoc = 21
3.4.9.1 ATA/ATAPI Device Configuration
......................................
Within the `section ata', each device is specified separately. The
device subsection is introduced by
device VALUE
VALUE is the device number, which should be 0 or 1. The subsection
ends with `enddevice'. Note that if the same device number is
specified more than once, the previous values will be overwritten.
Within the `device' subsection, the following parameters may appear:
`type = VALUE'
VALUEspecifies the type of device: 0 (the default) for "not
connected", 1 for hard disk simulated in a file and 2 for local
system hard disk.
`file = "FILENAME"'
`filename' specifies the file to be used for a simulated ATA
device if the file type (see `type' above) is 1. Default value
`"ata-FileN"', where N is the device number.
`size = VALUE'
VALUE specifies the size of a simulated ATA device if the file
type (see `type' above) is 1. The default value is zero.
`packet = 0|1'
If 1 (true), implement the PACKET command feature set. If 0 (the
default), do not implement the PACKET command feature set.
`firmware = "STR"'
Firmware to report in response to the "Identify Device" command.
Default `"02207031"'.
`heads = VALUE'
Number of heads in the device. Default 7, use -1 to disable all
heads.
`sectors = VALUE'
Number of sectors per track in the device. Default 32.
`mwdma = 0|1|2|-1'
Highest multi-word DMA mode supported. Default 2, use -1 to
disable.
`pio = 0|1|2|3|4'
Highest PIO mode supported. Default 4.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Generic Peripheral Configuration, Prev: Disc Interface Configuration, Up: Peripheral Configuration
3.4.10 Generic Peripheral Configuration
---------------------------------------
When used as a library (*note Simulator Library: Simulator Library.),
Or1ksim makes provision for any additional peripheral to be implemented
externally. Any read or write access to this peripheral's memory map
generates "upcall"s to an external handler. This interface can support
either C or C++, and was particularly designed to facilitate support
for OSCI SystemC (see `http://www.systemc.org').
Generic peripheral configuration is described in `section generic'.
This section may appear multiple times, specifying multiple external
peripherals. The following parameters may be specified.
`enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), this ATA/ATAPI interface is enabled. If
0, it is disabled.
`baseaddr = VALUE'
Set the base address of the generic peripheral's memory mapped
registers to VALUE. The default is 0, which is probably not a
sensible value.
The size of the memory mapped register space is controlled by the
`size' paramter, described below.
`size = VALUE'
Set the size of the generic peripheral's memory mapped register
space to VALUE bytes. Any read or write accesses to addresses with
offsets of 0 to VALUE-1 bytes from the base address specified in
parameter `baseaddr' (see above) will be directed to the external
interface.
VALUE will be rounded up the nearest power of 2. It's default
value is zero. If VALUE is not an exact power of two, accesses to
address offsets of VALUE or above up to the next power of 2 will
generate a warning, and have no effect (reads will return zero).
`name = "STR"'
This gives the peripheral the name `"STR"'. This is used to
identify the peripheral in error messages and warnings, and when
reporting its status. The default value is
`"anonymous external peripheral"'.
`byte_enabled = 0|1'
`hw_enabled = 0|1'
`word_enabled = 0|1'
If 1 (true, the default), these parameters respectively enable the
device for byte wide, half-word wide and word wide accesses. If 0,
accesses of that width will fail.

4 Interactive Command Line
**************************
If started with the `-f' flag, or if interrupted with `ctrl-C', Or1ksim
provides the user with an interactive command line. The commands
available, which may not be abbreviated, are:
`q'
Exit the simulator
`r'
Display all the General Purpose Registers (GPRs). Also shows the
just executed and next to be executed instructions symbolically
and the state of the flag in the Supervision Register.
`t'
Execute the next instruction and then display register/instruction
information as with the `r' command (see above).
`run NUM [ hush ]'
Execute NUM instructions. The register/instruction information is
displayed after each instruction, as with the `r' command (see
above) _unless_ `hush' is specified.
`pr REG VALUE'
Patch register REG with VALUE.
`dm FROMADDR [ TOADDR ]'
Display memory bytes between FROMADDR and TOADDR. If TOADDR is
not given, 64 bytes are displayed, starting at FROMADDR.
Caution: The output from this command is broken (a bug).
Or1ksim attempts to print out 16 bytes per row. However,
instead of printing out the address at the start of each row,
it prints the address (of the first of the 16 bytes) before
_each_ byte.
`de FROMADDR [ TOADDR ]'
Disassemble code between FROMADDR and TOADDR. If TOADDR is not
given, 16 instructions are disassembled.
The disassembly is entirely numerical, and gives no symbolic
information.
`pm ADDR VALUE'
Patch the 4 bytes in memory starting at ADDR with the 32-bit VALUE.
`pc VALUE'
Patch the program counter with VALUE.
`cm FROMADDR TOADDR SIZE'
Copy SIZE bytes in memory from FROMADDR to TOADDR.
`break ADDR'
Toggle the breakpoint set at ADDR.
`breaks'
List all set breakpoints
`reset'
Reset the simulator. Includes modeling a reset of the processor,
so execution will restart from the reset vector location, 0x100.
`hist'
If saving the execution history has been configured (*note
Simulator Behavior: Simulator Behavior.), display the execution
history.
`stall'
Stall the processor, so that control is passed to the debug unit.
When stalled, the processor can execute no instructions. This
command is useful when debugging the JTAG interface, used by
debuggers such as GDB.
`unstall'
Unstall the processor, so that normal execution can continue.
This command is useful when debugging the JTAG interface, used by
debuggers such as GDB.
`stats CATEGORY | clear'
Print the statistics for the given CATEGORY, if available, or
clear if `clear' is specified. The categories are:
1
Miscellaneous statistics: branch predictions (if branch
predictions are enabled), branch target cache model (if
enabled), cache (if enbaled), MMU (if enabled) and number of
addtional load & store cycles.
*Note Configuring the OpenRisc Achitectural Components: Core
OpenRISC Configuration, for details of how to enable these
various features.
2
Instruction usage statistics. Requires hazard analysis to be
enabled (*note CPU Configuration: CPU Configuration.).
3
Instruction dependency statistics. Requires hazard analysis
to be enabled (*note CPU Configuration: CPU Configuration.).
4
Functional unit dependency statistics. Requires hazard
analysis to be enabled (*note CPU Configuration: CPU
Configuration.).
5
Raw register usage over time. Requires hazard analysis to be
enabled (*note CPU Configuration: CPU Configuration.).
6
Store buffer statistics. Requires the store buffer to be
enabled (*note CPU Configuration: CPU Configuration.).
`info'
Display detailed information about the simulator configuration.
This is quite a lengthy about, because all MMU TLB information is
displayed.
`dv FROMADDR [ TOADDR ] [ MODULE ]'
Dump the area of memory between FROMADDR and TOADDR as Verilog
code for a synchronous, 23-bit wide SRAM module, named MODULE. If
TOADDR is not specified, then 64 bytes are dumped (as 16 32-bit
words). If MODULE is not specified, `or1k_mem' is used.
To save to a file, use the redirection function (described after
this table, below).
`dh FROMADDR [ TOADDR ]'
Dump the area of memory between FROMADDR and TOADDR as 32-bit hex
numbers (no `0x', or `32'h' prefix). If TOADDR is not specified,
then 64 bytes are dumped (as 16 32-bit words).
To save to a file, use the redirection function (described after
this table, below).
`setdbch'
Toggle debug channels on/off. *Note Standalone Simulator:
Standalone Simulator, for a description of specifying debug
channels on the command line.
`set SECTION PARAM = VALUE'
Set the configuration parameter PARA in section SECTION to VALUE.
*Note Configuration: Configuration, for details of configuration
parameters and their settings.
`debug'
Toggle the simulator debug mode. *Note Debug Interface
Configuration: Debug Interface Configuration, for information on
this parameter.
Caution: This is effectively enabling or disabling the debug
unit. It does not effect the remote GDB debug interface.
However using the remote debug interface while the debug unit
is disabled will lead to undefined behavior and likely crash
Or1ksim
`cuc'
Enter the the Custom Unit Compiler command prompt (*note CUC
Configuration: CUC Configuration.).
Caution: The CUC must be properly configured, for this to
succeed. In particular a timing file must be available and
readable. Otherwise Or1ksim will crash.
`help'
Print out brief information about each command available.
`mprofile [-vh] [-m M] [-g N] [-f FILE] FROM TO'
Run the memory profiling utility. This follows the same usage as
the standalone command (*note Memory Profiling Utility: Memory
Profiling Utility.).
`profile [-vhcq] [-g FILE]'
Run the instruction profiling utility. This follows the same
usage as the standalone command (*note Profiling Utility:
Profiling Utility.).
For all commands, it is possible to redirect the output to a file, by
using the redirection operator, `>'.
COMMAND > FILENAME
This is particularly useful for commands dumping a large amount of
output, such as `dv'.
Caution: Unfortunately there is a serious bug with the redirection
operator. It does not return output to standard output after the
command completes. Until this bug is fixed, file redirection
should not be used.

5 Verification API (VAPI)
*************************
The Verification API (VAPI) provides a TCP/IP interface to allow
components of the simulation to be controlled externally. The
interface is polled for new requests on each simulated clock cycle.
Components within the simulator may send responses to such requests.
The inteface is an asynchronous duplex protocol. On the request side
it provides for simple commands, known as VAPI IDs (a 32 bit integer),
with a single piece of data (also a 32 bit integer). On the send side,
it provides for sending a single VAPI ID and data. However there is no
explicit command-response structure. Some components just accept
requests (e.g. to set values), some just generate sends (to report
values), and some do both.
Each component has a base ID (32 bit) and its commands will start from
that base ID. This provides a simple partitioning of the command space
amongst components. Request commands will be directed to the component
with the closest base ID lower than the VAPI ID of the command.
Thus if there are two components with base IDs of 0x200 and 0x300, and
a request with VAPI ID of 0x203 is received, it will be directed to the
first component as its command #3.
The results of VAPI interactions are logged (by default in `vapi.log'
unless an alternative is specified in `section vapi').
Currently the following components support VAPI:
Debug Unit
Although the Debug Unit can specify a base VAPI ID, it is not used
to send commands or receive requests.
Instead, if the base VAPI ID is set, all remote JTAG protocol
exchanges are logged in the VAPI log file.
UART
If a base VAPI ID is specified, the UART sends details of any
chars or break characters sent, with dteails of the line control
register etc encoded in the data packet sent.
This supports a single VAPI command request, but encodes a
sub-command in the top 8 bits of the associated data.
`0x00'
This stuffs the least significant 8 bits of the data into the
serial register of the UART and the next 8 bits into the line
control register, effectively providing control of the next
character to be sent or received.
`0x01'
The divisor latch bytes are set from the least significant 16
bits of the data.
`0x02'
The line control register is set from bits 15-8 of the data.
`0x03'
The UART skew is set from the least significant 16 bits of
the data
`0x04'
If the 16th most significant bit of the data is 1, start
sending breaks, otherwise stop sending breaks. The breaks
are sent or cleared after the number of UART clock divider
ticks specified by the data (immediately if the data is zero).
DMA
Although the DMA unit supports a base VAPI ID in its configuration
(`section dma'), no VAPI data is sent, nor VAPI requests currently
implemented.
Ethernet
The following requests are handled by the Ethernet. Specified
symbolically, these are the increments from the base VAPI ID of the
Ethernet. At present no implementation is provided behind these
VAPI requests.
`ETH_VAPI_DATA (0)'
`ETH_VAPI_CTRL (0)'
GPIO
If a base VAPI ID is specified, the GPIO sends out on its base
VAPI ID (symbolically, GPIO_VAPI_DATA (0) offset from the base
VAPI ID) any changes in outputs.
The following requests are handled by the GPIO. Specified
symbolically, these are the increments from the VAPI base ID of the
GPIO.
`GPIO_VAPI_DATA (0)'
Set the next input to the commands data field
`GPIO_VAPI_AUX (1)'
Set the GPIO auxiliary inputs to the data field
`GPIO_VAPI_CLOCK (2)'
Add an external GPIO clock trigger of period specified in the
data field.
`GPIO_VAPI_RGPIO_OE (3)'
Set the GPIO output enable to the data field
`GPIO_VAPI_RGPIO_INTE (4)'
Set the next interrupt to the data field
`GPIO_VAPI_RGPIO_PTRIG (5)'
Set the next trigger to the data field
`GPIO_VAPI_RGPIO_AUX (6)'
Set the next auxiliary input to the data field
`GPIO_VAPI_RGPIO_CTRL (7)'
Set th next control input to the data field

6.1 Coding Conventions for Or1ksim
==================================
This chapter provides some guidelines for coding, to facilitate
extensions to Or1ksim
_GNU Coding Standard_
Code should follow the GNU coding standard for C
(`http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/'. If in doubt, put your code
through the `indent' program.
_`#include' headers_
All C source code files should include `config.h' before any other
file.
This should be followed by inclusion of any system headers (but see
the comments about portability and `port.h' below) and then by any
Or1ksim package headers.
If `port.h' is required, it should be the first package header to
be included after the system headers.
All C source code and header files should directly include any
system or package header they depend on, i.e. not rely on any
other header having already included it. The two exceptions are
1. All header files may assume that `config.h' has already been
included.
2. System headers which impose portability problems should be
included by using the package header `port.h', rather than
the system headers themselves. This is the case for code
requiring
* `strndup' (from `string.h')
* Integer types (`intN_t', `uintN_t') (from `inttypes.h').
* `isblank' (from `ctype.h')
_`#include' files once only_
All include files should be protected by `#ifndef' to ensure their
definitions are only included once. For instance a header file
`X-Y.H' should surround its contents with:
#ifndef X_Y__H
#define X_Y__H
<body of the include file>
#endif /* X_Y__H */
_Avoid `typedef'_
The GNU coding style for C does not have a clear way to distinguish
between user type name and user variables. For this reason
`typedef' should be avoided except for the most ubiquitous user
defined types. This makes the code much easier to read.
There are some `typedef' declarations in the `argtable2' library
and the ELF and COFF headers, because this code is taken from
other places.
Within Or1ksim legacy uses of `typedef' have largely been purged,
except in the Custom Unit Compiler (*note Custom Unit Compiler
(CUC) Configuration: CUC Configuration.).
The remaining uses of `typedef' occur in two places:
* `port/port.h' defines types to replace those in header files
that are not available (character functions, string
duplication, integer types).
`cpu/or1k/arch.h' defines types for the key Or1ksim entities:
addresses (`oraddr_t'), unsigned register values (`uorreg_t')
and signed register (`orreg_t') values.
Where new types are defined, they should appear in one of these two
files as appropriate. Or1ksim specific types appearing in
`arch.h' should always have the suffix `_h'.
_Don't begin names with underscore_
Names beginning with `_' are intended to be part of the C
infrastructure. They should not be used in the simulator code.
_Keep Non-global top level entities static_
All top level entities (functions, variables), which are not
explicitly part of a global interface should be declared static.
This ensures that unwanted connections are not inadvertently built
across the program.
_Use of `inline'_
Code should not be declared `inline'. Modern compilers can work
out for themselves what is best in this respect.
_Initialization_
All data structures should be explicitly initialized. In
particular code should not rely on static data structures being
initialized to zero.
The rationale is that in future static data structures may become
dynamic. This has been a particular source of bugs in Or1ksim
historically.
A specific case is with new peripherals, which should always
include a `start' function to pre-initialize all configuration
parameters to sensible defaults
_Configuration Validation_
All configuration values should be validated, preferably when
encountered, if not when the `section' is closed, or otherwise at
run time when the parameter is first used.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Global Data Structures, Next: Concepts, Prev: Coding Conventions, Up: Code Internals
6.2 Global Data Structures
==========================
`config'
The global variable `config' of type `struct config' holds the
configuration data for some of the Or1ksim components which are
always present. At present the components are:
* The simulator defined in `section sim' (*note Simulator
Configuration: Simulator Configuration.).
* The Verification API (VAPI) defined in `section vapi' (*note
Verification API (VAPI) Configuration: Verification API
Configuration.).
* The Custom Unit Compiler (CUC), defined in `section cuc'
(*note Custom Unit Compiler (CUC) Configuration: CUC
Configuration.).
* The CPU, defined in `section cpu' (*note CPU Configuration:
CPU Configuration.).
* The data cache (but not the instruction cache), defined in
`section dc' (*note Cache Configuration: Cache
Configuration.).
* The power management unit, defined in `section pm' (*note
Power Management Configuration: Power Management
Configuration.).
* The programmable interrupt controller, defined in
`section pic' (*note Interrupt Configuration: Interrupt
Configuration.).
* Branch prediciton, defined in `section bpb' (*note Branch
Prediction Configuration: Branch Prediction Configuration.).
* The debug unit, defined in `section debug' (*note Debug
Interface Configuration: Debug Interface Configuration.).
This struct is made of a collection of structs, one for each
component. For example the simulator configuration is held in
`config.sim'.
`config'
This is a linked list of data structures holding configuration data
for all sections which are not held in the main `config' data
structure. In general these are components (such as peripherals
and memory) which may occur multiple times. However it also
handles some architectural components which may occur only once,
such as the memory management units, the instruction cache, the
interrupt controller and branch prediction.
`runtime'
The global variable `runtime' of type `struct runtime' holds all
the runtime information about the simulation. To access this
variable, `sim-config.h' must be included.
This struct is itself made of 3 other structs, `cpu' (for CPU run
time state), `vapi' (for Verification API state) and `cuc' (for
Custom Unit Compiler state).
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Concepts, Next: Internal Debugging, Prev: Global Data Structures, Up: Code Internals
6.3 Concepts
============
_Output Redirection_
The current output stream is held in `runtime.cpu.fout'. Output
should be explicitly written to this stream, or may use the
`PRINTF' macro, which will write its arguments to this output
stream.
_Reset Hooks_
Any peripheral may register a routine to be called when the the
processor is reset by calling `reg_sim_reset', providing a
function and pointer to a data structure as arguments. On reset
that function will be called with the data stucture pointer as
argument.
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Internal Debugging, Next: Regression Testing, Prev: Concepts, Up: Code Internals
6.4 Internal Debugging
======================
The function `debug' is like `printf', but with an extra first
argument, which is the debug level. If the debug level specified in
the simulator configuration (*note Simulator Behavior: Simulator
Behavior.) is greater than or equal to this value, the remaining
arguments are printed to the current output stream (*note Output
Redirection: Output Redirection.).
File: or1ksim.info, Node: Regression Testing, Prev: Internal Debugging, Up: Code Internals
6.5 Regression Testing
======================
Or1ksim now includes a regression test suite for both standalone and
library usage as described earlier (*note Building and Installing:
Build and Install.). Running the tests requires that the OpenRISC
toolchain and DejaGNU are both installed.
Tests are written using `expect', a derivative of TCL. Documentation
of DejaGnu, `expect' and TCL are freely available on the Web. The
Embecosm Application Note 8, `Howto: Using DejaGnu for Testing: A
Simple Introduction' (`http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean8.html')
provides a concise introduction.
All test code is found in the `testsuite' directory. The key files and
directories used are as follows.
`global-conf.exp'
This is the global DejaGNU configuration file used to set up
parameters common to all tests. If the user has the environment
varialbe `DEJAGNU' defined, it will be used instead, but this is
not recommended.
`Makefile.am'
This is the top level `automake' file for the testsuite. The only
changes likely to be needed here is additional local cleanup of
files created by new tests.
`README'
This contains details of all the tests
`config'
This contains DejaGnu board configurations. Since the tests are
generally run on a Unix host, this should just contain `Unix.exp'.
`lib'
This contains DejaGnu tool specific configurations. "Tool" has a
specific meaning in DejaGNU, referring just to a grouping of
tests. In this case there are two such "tools", "or1ksim" and
"libsim" for tests of the standalone tool and tests of the library.
Corresponding to this, there are two tool specific configuration
files, `or1ksim.exp' and `libsim.exp'. These contain `expect'/TCL
procedures for common use among the tests.
`libsim.tests'
`or1ksim.tests'
These are the directories of tests of the Or1ksim library. They
also include Or1ksim configuration files and each has a
`Makefile.am' file. `Makefile.am' should be updated whenever
files are added to this directory, to ensure they are included in
the distribution.
`test-code'
These are all the test programs to be compiled on the host (each
in its own directory). In general these are programs to support
testing of the library, and build various programs linking in the
library.
`test-code'
These are all the test programs to be compiled with the OpenRISC
tool chain to run with either standalone Or1ksim or the library.
This directory includes its own `configure.ac', since it must set
up a separate tool chain based on the target, not the host.
To add a new test needs the following steps.
* Put new host C code in its own directory within `test-code'. Add
the directory to the existing `Makefile.am' in the `test-code'
directory and create a `Makefile.am' in the new directory to drive
building the test program(s). Don't forget to add the new
`Makefile' to the top level `configure.ac' so it gets generated.
Not all tests require code here.
* Put new target C code in its own directory within
`test-code-or1k'. Once again modify & create `Makefile.am'. this
time though modify the `configure.ac' in the `test-code-or1k' so
the `Makefile' gets generated. The existing programs provide
examples to start from, including custom linker scripts where
needed.
* Add one or more tests and configuration files to the relevant
"tool" test directory. Use the existing tests as templates. They
make heavy use of the `expect'/TCL procedures in the `config'
directory to facilitate driving the tests.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
that the software does. But this License is not limited to
software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You
accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
way requiring permission under copyright law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
the notice that says that the Document is released under this
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. A
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
"Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
which states that this License applies to the Document. These
Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
has no effect on the meaning of this License.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
and you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
front cover must present the full title with all words of the
title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
numbering more than 100, you must either include a
machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
which the general network-using public has access to download
using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you
distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
the Document well before redistributing any large number of
copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
version of the Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
in the History section of the Document). You may use the
same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
that version gives permission.
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
from this requirement.
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
the Addendum below.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
license notice.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in
the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
the previous sentence.
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
likewise the network locations given in the Document for
previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in
the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
work that was published at least four years before the
Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
it refers to gives permission.
K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
titles.
M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
"Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
Section.
O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
material copied from the Document, you may at your option
designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,
add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one
passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under
this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
"History" in the various original documents, forming one section
Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
"Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
documents released under this License, and replace the individual
copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
that document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
the whole aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
include the original English version of this License and the
original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
disagreement between the translation and the original version of
this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
actual title.
9. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other
attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
`http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that specified version or of any later version that has been
published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If
the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation.
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
====================================================
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:
Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
permit their use in free software.
