User Guide
ebfm_cfg_decode_bar Procedure
The
ebfm_cfg_decode_bar
procedure analyzes the information in the BAR table for
the specified BAR and returns details about the BAR attributes.
BFM Shared Memory Access Procedures
The following procedures and functions are in the Verilog HDL include file
altpcietb_bfm_driver.v. These procedures and functions support accessing the BFM
shared memory.
Shared Memory Constants
The following constants are defined in altpcietb_bfm_driver.v. They select a data
pattern in the
shmem_fill
and
shmem_chk_ok
routines. These shared memory
constants are all Verilog HDL type
integer
.
Table 17–29. ebfm_cfg_decode_bar Procedure
Location altpcietb_bfm_driver_rp.v
Syntax
ebfm_cfg_decode_bar(bar_table, bar_num, log2_size, is_mem, is_pref, is_64b)
Arguments
bar_table
Address of the Endpoint bar_table structure in BFM shared memory.
bar_num
BAR number to analyze.
log2_size
This argument is set by the procedure to the log base 2 of the size of the BAR. If the BAR is
not enabled, this argument will be set to 0.
is_mem
The procedure sets this argument to indicate if the BAR is a memory space BAR (1) or I/O
Space BAR (0).
is_pref
The procedure sets this argument to indicate if the BAR is a prefetchable BAR (1) or non-
prefetchable BAR (0).
is_64b
The procedure sets this argument to indicate if the BAR is a 64-bit BAR (1) or 32-bit BAR
(0). This is set to 1 only for the lower numbered BAR of the pair.
