User Guide
The
ebfm_cfg_rp_ep
procedure also sets up a
bar_table
data structure in BFM shared
memory that lists the sizes and assigned addresses of all Endpoint BARs. This area of
BFM shared memory is write-protected, which means any user write accesses to this
area cause a fatal simulation error. This data structure is then used by subsequent
BFM procedure calls to generate the full PCI Express addresses for read and write
requests to particular offsets from a BAR. This procedure allows the testbench code
that accesses the Endpoint Application Layer to be written to use offsets from a BAR
and not have to keep track of the specific addresses assigned to the BAR. Table 17–19
shows how those offsets are used.
The configuration routine does not configure any advanced PCI Express capabilities
such as the AER capability.
