2.3.2.4. SR-IOV Design Example Testbench

The figure below shows the SR-IOV design example simulation design hierarchy. The tests for the SR-IOV design example are defined with the apps_type_hwtcl parameter. The tests run under this parameter value are defined in ebfm_cfg_rp_ep_rootport, find_mem_bar and downstream_loop.

Test Driver Module

The SR-IOV testbench supports up to two Physical Functions (PFs) and 16 Virtual Functions (VFs) per PF.

The testbench starts with link training and then accesses the configuration space of the R-Tile PCIe IP for enumeration. After that, it performs the following steps:
  1. Send a memory write request to a PF followed by a memory read request to read back the same data for comparison. The test passes if the read data matches the write data.
  2. Send a memory write request to a VF followed by a memory read request to read back the data for comparison. The test passes if the read data matched the write data. This test is repeated for each VF.
