6.4.4. MBL Lookup Operation Using Key

To perform a search operation follow these steps through AXI-Lite interface:
  1. Write the key to the MBL_KEY registers.
  2. Poll the MBL_MGMT_CTRL register until the busy bit = 0x0.
  3. Write to the MBL_MGMT_CTRL register:
    • Specifying req_type = 0x3.
    • Specifying tab (logical table).
  4. Check MBL_MGMT_CTRL register success bit, success bit is set to 0x1 to indicate the operation is handled successfully.
  5. Check MBL_RES register for lookup result.
  6. The MBL_KEY_HANDLE register is written with a handle value corresponding to the lookup key.

The following image shows a lookup operation on MBL of key = 0x8765432109090909, where:

  • The address of mgmt_ctrl register is 0xb0, due to CSR_BASEADDR + CSR_ADDROFF + offset -> 0 + 0x60 + 0x20 = 0x80.
  • The address of key_n register is 0x1060, due to CSR_BASEADDR + CSR_ADDROFF + offset -> 0 + 0x60 + 0x1000 = 0x1060.
  • The address of result_n register is 0x2060, due to CSR_BASEADDR + CSR_ADDROFF + offset -> 0 + 0x60 + 0x2000 = 0x2060.
