Detailed Description

A software interface to access low-level registers in a NoC block.

This interface supports the following:

  • Writing and reading registers
  • Hardware timed delays (for time sequencing operations)
  • Asynchronous messages (where a block requests a "register write" in software)

This class has no public factory function or constructor.

◆ async_msg_callback_t

using uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::async_msg_callback_t = std::function<void( uint32_t addr, const std::vector<uint32_t>& data, boost::optional<uint64_t>)>

Callback function for acting upon an asynchronous message.

When a block in the FPGA sends an asynchronous message to the software, and it has been validated, the async message callback function is called. An async message can be modelled as a simple register write (key-value pair with addr/data) that is initiated by the FPGA.

When this message is called, the async message was previously verified by calling the async message validator callback.

◆ async_msg_validator_t

using uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::async_msg_validator_t = std::function<bool(uint32_t addr, const std::vector<uint32_t>& data)>

Callback function for validating an asynchronous message.

When a block in the FPGA sends an asynchronous message to the software, the async message validator function is called. An async message can be modelled as a simple register write (key-value pair with addr/data) that is initiated by the FPGA. If this message returns true, the message is considered valid.

◆ block_peek32()

virtual std::vector<uint32_t> uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::block_peek32 ( uint32_t  first_addr,
size_t  length,
time_spec_t  time = uhd::time_spec_t::ASAP 
)
pure virtual

Read multiple 32-bit consecutive registers implemented in the NoC block.

Parameters
first_addrThe byte address of the first register to read from (truncated to 20 bits).
lengthThe number of 32-bit values to read
timeThe time at which the transaction should be executed.
Returns
data New value of this register.

Example: If first_addr is set to 0, and length is 8, then this function will return a vector of length 8, with the content of registers at addresses 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 respectively.

Note: There is no guarantee that under the hood, the implementation won't separate the reads.

Exceptions
op_failedif the transaction fails
op_timeoutif no response is received
op_seqerrif a sequence error occurs

uhd::time_spec_t  time = uhd::time_spec_t::ASAP,
bool  ack = false 
)
pure virtual

Write multiple consecutive 32-bit registers implemented in the NoC block.

This function will only allow writes to adjacent registers, in increasing order. If addr is set to 0, and the length of data is 8, then this method triggers eight writes, in order, to addresses 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28. For arbitrary addresses, cf. multi_poke32().

Note: There is no guarantee that under the hood, the implementation won't separate the writes.

Parameters
first_addrThe byte addresses of the first register to write
dataNew values of these registers
timeThe time at which the first transaction should be executed.
ackShould transaction completion be acknowledged?
Exceptions
op_failedif an ACK is requested and the transaction fails
op_timeoutif an ACK is requested and no response is received
op_seqerrif an ACK is requested and a sequence error occurs
op_timeerrif an ACK is requested and a time error occurs (late command)

pure virtual

Get the port number of the software counterpart of this register interface. This information is useful to send async messages to the host.

Returns
The 10-bit port number

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.

◆ get_src_epid()

virtual uint16_t uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::get_src_epid ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the endpoint ID of the software counterpart of this register interface. This information is useful to send async messages to the host.

Returns
The 16-bit endpoint ID

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.

uhd::time_spec_t  time = uhd::time_spec_t::ASAP,
bool  ack = false 
)

)
pure virtual

Read a 32-bit register implemented in the NoC block.

uint64_t  data,
time_spec_t  time = uhd::time_spec_t::ASAP,
bool  ack = false 
)
inline

Write two consecutive 32-bit registers implemented in the NoC block from one 64-bit value.

Note: This is a convenience call, because all register pokes are 32-bits. This will concatenate two pokes in a block poke, and then return the combined result of the two pokes.

Parameters
addrThe byte address of the lower 32-bit register to read from (truncated to 20 bits).
dataNew value of the register(s).
timeThe time at which the transaction should be executed.

◆ poll32()

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::poll32 ( uint32_t  addr,
uint32_t  data,
uint32_t  mask,
time_spec_t  timeout,
time_spec_t  time = uhd::time_spec_t::ASAP,
bool  ack = false 
)
pure virtual

Poll a 32-bit register until its value for all bits in mask match data&mask

This will insert a command into the command queue to wait until a register is of a certain value. This can be used, e.g., to poll for a lock pin before executing the next command. It is related to sleep(), except it has a condition to wait on, rather than an unconditional stall duration. The timeout is hardware-timed. If the register does not attain the requested value within the requested duration, ${something bad happens}.

Example: Assume readback register 16 is a status register, and bit 0 indicates a lock is in place (i.e., we want it to be 1) and bit 1 is an error flag (i.e., we want it to be 0). The previous command can modify the state of the block, so we give it 1ms to settle. In that case, the call would be thus:

// iface is a register_iface::sptr:
iface->poll32(16, 0x1, 0x3, 1e-3);
Parameters
addrThe byte address of the register to read from (truncated to 20 bits).
dataThe values that the register must have
maskThe bitmask that is applied before checking the readback value
timeoutThe max duration that the register is allowed to take before reaching its new state.
timeWhen the poll should be executed
ackShould transaction completion be acknowledged? This is typically only necessary if the software needs a condition to be fulfilled before continueing, or during debugging.
Exceptions
op_failedif an ACK is requested and the transaction fails
op_timeoutif an ACK is requested and no response is received
op_seqerrif an ACK is requested and a sequence error occurs
op_timeerrif an ACK is requested and a time error occurs (late command)

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.

◆ register_async_msg_handler()

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::register_async_msg_handler ( async_msg_callback_t  callback_f)
pure virtual

Register a callback function for when an async message is received

Only one callback function can be registered. When calling this multiple times, only the last callback will be accepted.

Parameters
callback_fThe function to call when an asynchronous message is received.

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.

◆ register_async_msg_validator()

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::register_async_msg_validator ( async_msg_validator_t  callback_f)
pure virtual

Register a callback function to validate a received async message

The purpose of this callback is to provide a method to the framework to make sure a received async message is valid. If this callback is provided, the framework will first pass the message to the validator for validation. If the validator returns true, the async message is ACK'd with a ctrl_status_t::CMD_OKAY response, and then the async message is executed. If the validator returns false, then the async message is ACK'd with a ctrl_status_t::CMD_CMDERR, and the async message handler is not excecuted.

This callback may not communicate with the device, it can only look at the data and make a valid/not valid decision.

Only one callback function can be registered. When calling this multiple times, only the last callback will be accepted.

Parameters
callback_fThe function to call when an asynchronous message is received.

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.

◆ set_policy()

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::set_policy ( const std::string &  name,
const uhd::device_addr_t args 
)
pure virtual

Set a policy that governs the operational parameters of this register bus. Policies can be used to make tradeoffs between performance, resilience, latency, etc.

Parameters
nameThe name of the policy to apply
argsAdditional arguments to pass to the policy governor

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.

◆ sleep()

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::register_iface::sleep ( time_spec_t  duration,
bool  ack = false 
)
pure virtual

Send a command to halt (block) the control bus for a specified time. This is a hardware-timed sleep.

Parameters
durationThe amount of time to sleep.
ackShould transaction completion be acknowledged?
Exceptions
op_failedif an ACK is requested and the transaction fails
op_timeoutif an ACK is requested and no response is received
op_seqerrif an ACK is requested and a sequence error occurs

Implemented in uhd::rfnoc::mock_reg_iface_t.
