1.6.2. Connecting Hosts and Agents

Specify connections between host and agent components in the Address Map tab. You specify the address range that each memory-mapped host uses to connect to an agent in the Platform Designer system.

The Address Map tab shows the agents on the left, the hosts across the top, and the address span of the connection in each cell. If there is no connection between a host and an agent, the table cell is empty. In this case, use the Address Map tab to view the individual memory addresses for each connected host.

Platform Designer enables you to design a system where two hosts access the same agent at different addresses. If you use this feature, Platform Designer labels the Base and End address columns in the System View tab as "mixed" rather than providing the address range.

To create or edit a connection between host and agent IP components:

  1. In Platform Designer, click the Address Map tab.
  2. Locate the table cell that represents the connection between the host and agent.
  3. Type in a base address, or update the current base address in the cell. The base address of an agent component must be a multiple of the address span of the component.
