2.4.5.9.1. ebfm_cfg_rp_ep Procedure

The ebfm_cfg_rp_ep procedure configures the Root Port and Endpoint Configuration Space registers for operation.

Location

altpcietb_g3bfm_configure.v

Syntax

ebfm_cfg_rp_ep(bar_table, ep_bus_num, ep_dev_num, rp_max_rd_req_size, display_ep_config, addr_map_4GB_limit)

Arguments

bar_table

Address of the Endpoint bar_table structure in BFM shared memory. This routine populates the bar_table structure. The bar_table structure stores the size of each BAR and the address values assigned to each BAR. The address of the bar_table structure is passed to all subsequent read and write procedure calls that access an offset from a particular BAR.

ep_bus_num

PCI Express bus number of the target device. This number can be any value greater than 0. The Root Port uses this as the secondary bus number.

ep_dev_num

PCI Express device number of the target device. This number can be any value. The Endpoint is automatically assigned this value when it receives the first configuration transaction.

rp_max_rd_req_size

Maximum read request size in bytes for reads issued by the Root Port. This parameter must be set to the maximum value supported by the Endpoint Application Layer. If the Application Layer only supports reads of the MAXIMUM_PAYLOAD_SIZE, then this can be set to 0 and the read request size is set to the maximum payload size. Valid values for this argument are 0, 128, 256, 512, 1,024, 2,048 and 4,096.

display_ep_config

When set to 1 many of the Endpoint Configuration Space registers are displayed after they have been initialized, causing some additional reads of registers that are not normally accessed during the configuration process such as the Device ID and Vendor ID.

addr_map_4GB_limit

When set to 1 the address map of the simulation system is limited to 4 GB. Any 64-bit BARs are assigned below the 4 GB limit.
