Address Map Tab (Platform Designer)

You open this tab in Platform Designer by clicking View > Address Map.

The Address Map tab allows you view and edit connections between memory hosts and agents in a Platform Designer system.

Navigation Panel

Shows all host interfaces available in the current system. The search bar allows you to search and filter host interfaces. You can select one or more host interfaces.

Address Configuration Panel

The information that appears in the Address Configuration panel depends on the selection in the Navigation panel.

If you select a single host interface, the Address Configuration panel displays a table where the rows correspond to memory-mapped agents than connect to the host. The columns are:

Table 1. Columns in Address Configuration Table
Column Name Description
Slave Name of the agent
Base Address Start address of space assigned in the host, in hex format
End Address End address of space assigned in the host, in hex format
Size Agent size, in bytes.

Otherwise, the Address Configuration panel displays a matrix of host-agent connections, where the rows correspond to the agents and the columns to the hosts. If the host and agent are connected, the intersecting cell contains the address range that the host assigns to the agent. If there is no connection, the cell is blank.

Auto Assign Base Address Button

Directs Platform Designer to assign base addresses to the system so the addressed do not overlap.
