LatticeMico32 target
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
All opcodes including the JUART CSRs are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
JTAG UART
|
|
---------
|
|
JTAG UART is routed to a serial console device. For the current boards it
|
|
is the second one. Ie to enable it in the qemu virtual console window use
|
|
the following command line parameters:
|
|
-serial vc -serial vc
|
|
This will make serial0 (the lm32_uart) and serial1 (the JTAG UART)
|
|
available as virtual consoles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmatically terminate the emulator
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Originally neither the LatticeMico32 nor its peripherals support a
|
|
mechanism to shut down the machine. Emulation aware programs can write to a
|
|
to a special register within the system control block to shut down the
|
|
virtual machine. For more details see hw/lm32_sys.c. The lm32-evr is the
|
|
first BSP which instantiate this model. A (32 bit) write to 0xfff0000
|
|
causes a vm shutdown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special instructions
|
|
--------------------
|
|
The translation recognizes one special instruction to halt the cpu:
|
|
and r0, r0, r0
|
|
On real hardware this instruction is a nop. It is not used by GCC and
|
|
should (hopefully) not be used within hand-crafted assembly.
|
|
Insert this instruction in your idle loop to reduce the cpu load on the
|
|
host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ignoring the MSB of the address bus
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
Some SoC ignores the MSB on the address bus. Thus creating a shadow memory
|
|
area. As a general rule, 0x00000000-0x7fffffff is cached, whereas
|
|
0x80000000-0xffffffff is not cached and used to access IO devices. This
|
|
behaviour can be enabled with:
|
|
cpu_lm32_set_phys_msb_ignore(env, 1);
|
