From 5a9a743cfc4517f93e5c94533efa767b92272c59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Hansson Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:43:09 -0500 Subject: MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves. The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port. Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves. --- src/arch/x86/X86LocalApic.py | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/arch/x86/X86LocalApic.py') diff --git a/src/arch/x86/X86LocalApic.py b/src/arch/x86/X86LocalApic.py index 2f53c4e24..283d94ba7 100644 --- a/src/arch/x86/X86LocalApic.py +++ b/src/arch/x86/X86LocalApic.py @@ -1,3 +1,15 @@ +# Copyright (c) 2012 ARM Limited +# All rights reserved. +# +# The license below extends only to copyright in the software and shall +# not be construed as granting a license to any other intellectual +# property including but not limited to intellectual property relating +# to a hardware implementation of the functionality of the software +# licensed hereunder.
