VciIopic

1) Functional Description

This component is a multi-channels, programmable, Hardware Interrupt to Software Interrupt translator. It can be used to translate a number of hardware interrupt lines (HWI) to the same number of write triggered interrupt (WTI) that can be handled by a VciXicu component.

It acts as a VCI initiator, to send a single flit VCI packet to the target VciXicu interrupt controller, when a rising/falling edge is detected on a given HWI input.

It acts also as a memory mapped VCI target, as the addresses of the WTI associated to a given HWI must be configured by the software.

It supports both 32 and 64 bits for the VCI data field width.

For each HWI input channel, there is four 32 bits addressable registers:

IOPIC_ADDRESS This READ/WRITE register contains the 32 LSB bits of the physical WTI address associated to the HWI channel. The hardware RESET value is 0.

IOPIC_EXTEND This READ/WRITE register contains the 32 MSB bits of the physical WTI address associated to the HWI channel. The hardware RESET value is 0.

IOPIC_MASK This READ/WRITE register contains actually a boolean: the corresponding HWI will be transmitted as a WTI only if the register value is not 0. The hardware RESET value is 0.

IOPIC_STATUS This READ-ONLY register register contains the HWI channel status. Only the two LSB bits are significant:

  • Bit 0 : HWI line current value.
  • Bit 1 : ERROR reported in a WTI transaction when this bit is set.

Any read access to the IOPIC status register reset the ERROR bit.

The number of 32 bits words occupied by a single HWI channel is defined by the IOPIC_SPAN parameter,

For extensibility issues, the software drivers must use the mnemonics defined here to access this component.
