13.9.4. Configuration and Status Registers

You can configure the user traffic pattern by writing to configuration registers that influence the resulting traffic pattern.

Configuration registers that govern the resulting traffic pattern affect one of the following aspects of the pattern:

  • Test duration / Instruction pattern
  • Address pattern
  • Data pattern
Note: This section describes the registers that configure a traffic pattern as seen on the ctrl_amm interface.
Table 358.  Configuration and Status Registers
Symbol Address Register Name Register Width Number of Registers Readable or Writeable Register Section Register Description
0x0 TG_VERSION 32 1 Readable N/A Version number of the traffic generator address map.
0x4 TG_START 1 1 Writeable N/A Perform a write to this register to start the traffic generator (any value).
0x8 TG_LOOP_COUNT 32 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern The number of read/write loops to run. A loop is defined as a block of writes followed by a block of reads.

If this value is set to 0, the traffic generator will run infinite loops.

0xC TG_WRITE_COUNT 12 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern The number of unique writes to perform in each loop.
0x10 TG_READ_COUNT 12 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern Number of unique reads to perform in each loop.
0x14 TG_WRITE_REPEAT_COUNT 16 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern Number of times to repeat each write operation.
0x18 TG_READ_REPEAT_COUNT 16 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern Number of times to repeat each read operation.
0x20 TG_CLEAR 4 1 Readable and Writeable Status Clears the failure status registers. Allows clearing these registers independently from one another by writing a 1 to the following bits.

BIT0 - Clears the recorded PNF data.

BIT1 - Clears the recorded number of Avalon reads.

BIT2 - Clears the recorded data of the first failure (address, expected data, and actual data).

BIT3 - Clears the recorded data of address overflow due to burst length (last address written to, failure status).

0x1C TG_BURST_LENGTH 7 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern Avalon burst length.
0x38 TG_RW_GEN_IDLE_COUNT 16 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern Number of cycles for which the traffic generator remains idle between a write block and the next read block.
0x3C TG_RW_GEN_LOOP_IDLE_COUNT 16 1 Readable and Writeable Test Duration/Instruction Pattern Number of cycles for which the traffic generator remains idle between a read block and the next write block.
0x40 TG_SEQ_START_ADDR_WR 32 12 Readable and Writeable Address Pattern Start address for writes; used as a seed address in Random and Fixed Modes. Consists of 12 registers, 2 for each address field.[CS1] Each pair of adjacent registers represents the lower 32 bits and upper 32 bits of a start address for the corresponding field. For example:
TG_SEQ_START_ADDR_WR = start_addr_field0[31:0]
TG_SEQ_START_ADDR_WR+1 = start_addr_field0[63:32]
…
TG_SEQ_START_ADDR_WR+10=start_addr_field_5[31:0]
TG_SEQ_START_ADDR_WR+11=start_addr_field_5[63:32]
0x80 TG_ADDR_MODE_WR 2 6 Readable and Writeable Address Pattern

Address mode for writes. Consists of 6 registers, where each register specifies the write address mode for the corresponding address field. Available address modes include (see Address Generator Modes for details):

TG_ADDR_MODE == 0: Fixed
TG_ADDR_MODE == 1: Random
TG_ADDR_MODE == 2: Sequential
TG_ADDR_MODE == 3: Unused Field
0xC0 TG_RETURN_TO_START_ADDR 1 1 Readable and Writable Address Pattern

If set to 1, specifies to return to start address in each loop. If set to 0, specifies to resume the address pattern from where the previous loop left off.

0x84 TG_RAND_SEQ_ADDRS_RD     Readable and Writeable Address Pattern Number of times to increment sequentially on the random base address before generating a new random write address for reads.
0x88 TG_PASS 1 1 Read Only Status A value of 1 indicates that the traffic generator passed at the end of all test stages.
0x8C TG_FAIL 1 1 Read Only Status A value of 1 indicates that the traffic generator failed at the end of all test stages.
0x90 TG_FAIL_COUNT_L 32 1 Read Only Status The number of failed reads (lower 32 bits).
0x94 TG_FAIL_COUNT_H 32 1 Read Only Status The number of failed reads (upper 32 bits).
0x98 TG_FIRST_FAIL_ADDR_L 32 1 Read Only Status The address of the first failed read (lower 32 bits).
0x9C TG_FIRST_FAIL_ADDR_H 32 1 Read Only Status The address of the first failed read (upper 32 bits).
0xA0 TG_TOTAL_READ_COUNT_L 32
