13.4.4.4. QoS Generators

QoS generators are logic attached to initiator NIUs on FlexNoC™ to regulate traffic. QoS generators operate in 3 modes:

  • Fixed: All transactions marked with fixed urgency values.
  • Limiter: Backpressures initiators once bandwidth threshold is crossed on the request network. Does not affect urgency.
  • Regulator: Dynamically increase/decrease urgency based on response network bandwidth usage.

The following table shows the QoS generators. This configuration can be modified through the registers.

Initiator Mode Priority162 Priority063
CCU_IOS Regulator 2 0
DMA_TBU Regulator 1 0
EMAC_TBU Regulator 1 0
IO_TBU Regulator 1 0
SDM_TBU Regulator 2 0
62 Priority1 = high hurry level in regulator mode (that is, 2=Latency critical, 1=Latency sensitive, 0=best effort)
63 Priority0 = low hurry level in regulator mode (that is, 2=Latency critical, 1=Latency sensitive, 0=best effort)
