REGISTER MEMORY MAP ADDRESSING

The register map address consists of the following:

• cPCI/PCIe BAR or Base Address for the Board • Module Slot Base Address • Function Offset Address

Board Base Address

The table below lists the BAR used for access to the motherboard and module registers. The second BAR is used internally for motherboard and module firmware updates. The other cPCI/PCIe BARs not listed are not used.

NAI BoardsDevice IDBusMotherboard and Module Register AccessMotherboard and Module Firmware Updates
Controller/Master Board
64ARM1N/AVMESlave Window 1 Size: 8M BytesSlave Window 2 Size: 8M Bytes

Module Slot and Function Addresses

The memory map for the modules are dependent on the types of modules on the board and the order in which the modules are installed on the board as well as the firmware installed on the motherboard. The function modules are enumerated allowing for dynamic memory space allocation and therefore the “start” address of the module function register area is factory pre-defined (and read from) the Module Address register. Refer to Figure 1 for an example.

Figure 1. Register Memory Map Addressing for Motherboards with 6 Modules

Address Calculation

Motherboard Registers

Read/Write access to the motherboard registers starts with the base address for the board and then the motherboard base offset address.

For example, to address Module Slot 1 Start Address register (i.e. register address = 0x0400):

  1. Start with the base address for the board.
  2. Add the motherboard register address offset.
Motherboard Address =Base Address
Motherboard Address Offset
= 0x0000 0400
0x0000 0000 + 0x0400

Module Registers:

Read/Write access to the Function module’s registers start with the base address of the board. Add the “content” for the Module Start Address and then, add the specific module function register offset.

For example, to address an appropriate/specific function module with a register offset:

  1. Start with the base address for the board.
  2. Add the value (contents) from the module base address offset register (contents/value of Motherboard Memory register for Module 1 (i.e., @ 0x0400) = 0x4000.
  3. Then add the specific module function Register Offset of interest (i.e., A/D Reading Ch 1 @ 0x1000)
(Function Specific) Address =Base Address +Module Base Address Offset +Function Register Offset= 0x0000 5000
0x0000 00000x40000x1000

Additionally, this section provides an overview of the registers allocated to those sensors, which are used to monitor current/minimum/maximum temperature readings, upper & lower critical/warning temperature thresholds, and whether or not a programmed temperature threshold has been exceeded.

These registers are only available on Xilinx Generation 5 platforms, and are periodically populated by the motherboard core application, which only runs in Petalinux and BareMetal. For other operating systems, refer to the naibrd Software Support Kit (SSK) naibsp_system_Monitor_Temperature_Get() routine to manually retrieve the temperature (NOTE: this feature is typically utilized for development/factory use only; contact the factory for additional details on potential use, if required).

Motherboard Sensor Registers

The registers listed in this section apply to each module sensor listed for the Motherboard Sensor Summary Status register. Each individual sensor register provides a group of registers for monitoring motherboard temperatures readings. From these registers, a user can read the current temperature of the sensor in addition to the minimum and maximum temperature readings since power-up. Upper and lower critical/warning temperature thresholds can be set and monitored from these registers. When a programmed temperature threshold is crossed, the Sensor Threshold Status register will set the corresponding bit for that threshold. The figure below shows the functionality of this group of registers when accessing the Zynq Core Temperature sensor as an example.

Interrupt Vector and Steering

When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism. In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

Note

The Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map).

Interrupt Vector
Function:Set an identifier for the interrupt.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Module Control Command Registers

Modules Control Command Requests
Function:Provides the ability to command individual Modules to Reset, Power-down, or Power-up.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF
Read/Write:R/W
Operational Settings:The Module Control Commands registers provide the ability to request individual Modules to perform one of the following functions - Reset, Power-down, Power-up. Only one command can be requested at a time per Module. For example, one can't request a Reset and a Power-down at the same time for the same Module. Once the command is recognized and handled, the bit will be cleared.

Note

Clearing of the command request bit only indicates the command has been recognized and initiated, it does not indicate that the command action has been completed.

There is one Control Command Request register per Module. Each register is Bit-mapped as shown in the table below:

D3Module Firmware Not Ready
D2Module LinkInit Not Done
D1Module Not Detected
D0Module Powered-down

Module Powered-down: The user can request an individual Module be powered-down (see Module Control Command Requests). Once the request is detected and acted upon, this bit will be set. Once powered-down, you will not be able to communicate with the Module.

Module Not Detected: If a Module in this slot has not been detected, you will not be able to communicate with the Module.

Module LinkInit Not Done: Module communications is accomplished via SERDES. LinkInit is required to establish a connection to the Module. If the LinkInit has not been successfully completed, you will not be able to communicate with the Module.

Module Firmware Not Ready: Each Module has Firmware that is ready from Module QSPI and loaded for execution. If this Firmware was not loaded and started successfully, you may not be able to communicate with the Module.

Module Communications Error Detected: If at some point during run-time, communications with the Module has failed, this bit will be set.

A card is recognized and configured automatically as a ‘System Controller/Master’ when installed in a VME64x backplane with geographical addressing enabled in the Slot-0 card slot designation. Alternatively, if the card is installed in a non-Slot-0 or a non-VME64x card slot, the configuration recognition configuration may be manually configured manually via jumper and dip-switch settings.

If on power-up, the card is not recognized as a slot 0 card or the jumper is not installed, the card will be addressed in “Slave mode” only. In “Slave’ mode, the card will respond to slave W/R commands and provide typical memory defined register data access/requests.

In ‘Controller/Master’ mode, the card will respond to W/R data access, but in addition, can be utilized as a conduit for VMEbus requests to other NAI cards on the VMEbus. Controller/Master VMEbus mode would typically be utilized in a multi-card application where the Slot-0 card operation or Ethernet control is utilized for direct multi-card access through one ‘Master’ card (i.e. can function as a typical slot 0 master bus card).

Non-Geographical Addressing Configuration

The following describes setting the base address of the board via the hardware DIP switches.

Disable geographical addressing mode by placing a jumper-shunt across JP3-7:8

Configure/set the VME base address of the card:

  • Use switch SW3 and SW2 to configure the base address of the card.
  • Default address from the factory is 0x0000 0000
  • Use SW3 for A31-A24 and SW2 for A23-A16 (by default, A15 - A0 are reserved and set to 0x0000)

Example:

Base address: 0x0800 0000

Configure the address modifiers: Use JP3-1:2 (for A24 (in) /A32 (out) selection) and JP3-3:4 (for Supervisory (in) / No-Privileged data access selection (out))

Example:

Address Modifier set for: to 0x0D, A32 supervisory data access (Geographical mode disabled).

Configure Interrupter Level

  • Use JP4-1:2, JP4-3:4, JP4-5:6 to configure the interrupter level from level 7 ~ 1.

  • Each jumper represents a bit of a 3-bit configuration where default (open) level is 7 or “1 - 1 - 1”.

Example:

Set the interrupter level to 2 by insert a jumper into JP4-5:6 and JP4-1:2 to mask out bit0 and bit2

Geographical Addressing Configuration

Enable geographical addressing mode by removing/ensuring jumper JP3-7:8 is not installed.

When geographical addressing configuration mode is enabled (by removing jumper-shunt on JP3-7:8), JP3-3:4 and JP4-(all) jumper configurations are effectively ignored.

The card will ONLY respond to 0x2F A24-CR/CSR address modifier when geographical addressing mode is enabled.

Configuring base address, address modifier, enable slave window and enable the interrupter of a card can be accomplished by using CR/CSR configuration space on a card. The address of CR/CSR is based on the geographic slot# from a VME64 backplane.

Slot#VME64 Back Plane AddressCSR Address
10x3E0x080000
20x3D0x100000
30x1C0x180000
40x3B0x200000
50x1A0x280000
60X190x300000
70x380x380000
8 ~ 210x37 ~ 0x2A0x400000 ~ 0xA80000

Example:

Configure the Geographical Address of a card in slot# 2 of the VME64x chassis.

The CSR base address of a card in slot# 2 is 0x100000 and size of CSR space is 512 KB (offset range: 0x7FFFF ~ 0x0).

  1. Setup/program a base address: 0x8000000. a. Write 0x08 to 0x17FF60 (CSR_ADER0 A32-A24) b. Write 0x00 to 0x17FF64 (CSR_ADER0 A23-A16)

  2. Setup address modifier: 0x39 / A24 non-privileged data access. a. Write 0xE4 (0x39 << 2) to 0x17FF6C (CSR_ADER0 AM[5:0] )

  3. Enable card slave window module. a. Write 0x10 to 0x17FFF8 (CSR_BIT_SET Enable Module)

  4. Enable interrupter: level 7. a. Write 0x70 to 0x17F83B (Interrupter level map to 7) b. Write 0x02 to 0x17F80B (Enable Interrupter)

The card will now respond to the base address (0x800 0000 in the example) with address modifier (0x39 / A24 non-privileged data access: 0x0800 0000.

System Controller Support

There are 2 ways to enable the system controller function on the card:

  1. Automatic: When a card is installed and recognized in SLOT-0 of a VME64x chassis.

  2. Manual: Adding a jumper to JP3-5:6 will force the card to enable system controller function

Note

There can only be one system controller card in a VMEbus chassis.

Slave Window Base Address Boundary

The slave window base address boundary of each card range is from 256 Byte to 8 Megabyte. The base address boundaries are based on total size of all functional modules available on the card.

Example:

Base address:0x0800 0000
Card common memory size =16 Kilobyte
Slot 1 module size =16 Kilobyte
Slot 2 module size =16 Kilobyte
Slot 3 module size =1 Megabyte
Slot 4 module size =Empty
Slot 5 module size =Empty
Slot 6 module size =Empty
Total memory size:16 KB ` 16 KB ` 16 KB + 1 MB = 1.05 MB (Rounds of the total size to 2 MB 0x200000)
Card base address boundaries =0x08000000 ~ 0x081FFFFF

ETHERNET

(For detailed supplement, please visit the NAI web-site specific product page and refer to: Ethernet Interface for Generation 5 SBC and Embedded IO Boards Specification)

Note

For products capable of 10/100/1000Base-KX functionality - the product Ethernet PHY supports 1000BASE-X. Product interoperability with 10/100/1000BASE-KX is supported with 1000BASE-X (provided that auto-negotiation is disabled).

The Ethernet Interface Option allows communications and control access to all function modules either via the system BUS or Ethernet ports 1 or 2.

*see Part Number Designation for applicability.

Note

Actual “as shipped” card Ethernet default IP addresses may vary based upon final ATP configuration(s).

The NAI interface supports IPv4 and IPv6 and both the TCP and UDP protocols. The Ethernet Operation Mode Command Listener application running on the motherboard host processor implements the operation interface. The listener is operational on startup through the nai_MBStartup process and listen on specific ports for commands to process. The default ports are listed below:

  • TCP1 - Port 52801
  • TCP2 - Port 52802
  • UDP1 - Port 52801
  • UDP2 - Port 52802

While the listener is active, note that interrupts from the motherboard do not trigger. The listener can be disabled by turning off the nai_MBStartup process through the Motherboard EEPROM. To turn off nai_MBStartup use the command mbeeprom_util set MBStartupInitOnlyFlag 1 in the console, either by serial port or telnet to the motherboard, and then reboot the system. To turn on the nai_MBStartup use the command mbeeprom_util set MBStartupInitOnlyFlag 0 in the console, either by serial port or telnet to the motherboard, and then reboot the system.

Ethernet Message Framework

The interface uses a specific message framework for all commands and responses. All messages begin with a Preamble code and end with a Postamble code. The message framework is shown below.

Preamble
2 bytes Always
0xD30F
SequenceNo
2 bytes
Type Code
2 byte
Message Length
(2 bytes)
Payload
(0..1414 bytes)
Postamble
2 bytes
Always
0xF03D

Message Elements

PreambleThe Preamble is used to delineate the beginning of a message frame.
The Preamble is always 0xD30F.
SequenceNoThe SequenceNo is used to associate Commands with Responses.
Type CodeType Codes are used to define the type of Command or Response the message contains.
Message LengthThe Message Length is the number of bytes in the complete message frame starting with and including the
Preamble and ending with and including the Postamble.
PayloadThe Payload contains the unique data that makes up the command or response.
Payloads vary based on command type.
PostambleThe Postamble is use to delineate the end of a message frame.
The Postamble is always 0xF03D.

Notes

  1. The messaging protocol applies only to card products.
  2. Messaging is managed by the connected (client) computer. The client computer will send a single message and wait for a reply from the card. Multiple cards may be managed from a single computer, subject to channel and computer capacity.

Board Addressing

The interface provides two main addressing areas: Onboard and Off-board.

Onboard addressing refers to accessing resources located on the board that is implementing the operation interface (including its modules).

Off-board addressing refers to accessing resources located on another board reachable via VME, PCI, or other bus. Off-board addressing requires a Master/Slave configuration.

The user must always specify if a particular address is Onboard or Off-board. See the command descriptions for the onboard and off-board flags.

Within a particular board (Onboard or Off-board), the address space is broken up into two areas: Motherboard Common Address Space and Module Address Space. All addresses are 32-bit.

Motherboard Common Address Space starts at 0x00000000 and ends at 0x00004000. This is a 4Kx32-bit address space (16 kbytes).

Module Address Space starts at 0x00004000. Module addressing is dynamically configured at startup. NAI boards support between 1 and 6 modules. The minimum module address space size is 4Kx32 (16 kbytes) and module sizes are always a multiple of 4Kx32.

Module addressing is dynamic and cumulative. The first detected module (starting with Slot 1) is given an address of 0x00004000. The 2nd detected Module is given an address of:

First_Detected_Module_Address + First_Detected_Module_Size

Note

Slots do not define addresses.

If no module is detected in a module slot, that slot is not given an address. Therefore, if the first detected Module is in Slot 2, then that module address will be 0x00004000. If the next detected module is in Slot 4, then the address of that Module will be:

Second_Detected_Module_Address = First_Detected_Module_Address + First_Detected_Module_Size

If a 3rd Module is detected in Slot 6, then the address of that Module will be:

Third_Detected_Module_Address = Second_Detected_Module_Address + Second_Detected_Module_Size

Note

Module addresses are calculated at each board startup when the modules are detected. Therefore, if a module should fail to be detected due to malfunction or because it was removed from the motherboard, the addresses of the modules that follow it in the slot sequence will be altered. This is important to note when programming to this interface.

Users can always retrieve the Module Addresses, Module Sizes and Module IDs from the fixed Motherboard Common address area. This data is set upon each board startup. While the Module Addressing is dynamic, the address where these addresses are stored is fixed. For example, to find the startup address of the module location in Slot 3, refer to the MB Common Address 0x00000408 from the Motherboard Common Addresses table that follows.

1. Isolated Discrete Module (DT2)For ‘differential’ A/D; “P” designation considered ‘positive’ input pin, “N” pin designation considered ‘negative’ input pin.
2. Discrete I/O Module (DT1)All GND pins are common within the module, but, isolated from
system/power GND. Each pin should be individually wired for optimalpower current distribution.
3. TTL I/O Module (TL1)I/O referenced to system power GND.
4. CMRP - A/D Module(s) (ADx)The Common Mode Reference Point (CMRP) is an isolated reference connection for all the A/D channels. For expected high common mode voltage applications, it is recommended that the pin designated as CMRP be referenced (direct or resistor coupled) to the signal source GND reference (must have current path between CMRP and signal source generator) to minimize common mode voltage within the acceptable specification range. All channels within the module are independent but share a CMRP, which is isolated from system/power GND.

APPENDIX: EMBEDDED ARM (XILINX® XC7Z015 SOC) OPTION DETAILS

If specified, the PLATFORM (e.g. NIU1A, 75G5, etc.) provides access to an ARM processor for embedded SBC-type applications. The platform uses a Xilinx® XC7Z015 SoC FPGA device. This device is a Single-die system on a Chip (SoC) that consists of two distinct parts: an application processor unit (APU) portion and an FPGA portion. The platform may be ordered with a configuration code, which provides access to the motherboards APU ARM processor. The application processor system can then be used for customer software development. The PLATFORM uses a Xilinx® XC7Z015 device with an ARM® Cortex®-A9 dual-core processor. The ARM processor, together with NAI’s unique architecture provides the embedded system programmer the following on- chip resources:

  • APU subsystem featuring dual ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore CPUs
  • DDR3 SDRAM controller with Transaction Scheduler
  • DMA controller with scatter-gather
  • Two Ethernet Media Access Controllers (EMACs)
  • NAND flash controller ONFI specification 1.0
  • Quad SPI flash controller
  • Two serial peripheral interface (SPI) Master or Slave controllers
  • 256 KB on-chip RAM
  • 128 KB on-chip boot ROM
  • Two UARTs with 64-byte receive and transmit FIFOs
  • Two General Purpose Timers
  • Two watchdog timers

Floating Point Unit (FPU)

The FPU is a VFPv3-D16 implementation of the ARMv7 floating-point architecture. It provides high performance, floating-point computation. The FPU supports all addressing modes and operations described in the “ARM Architecture Reference Manual”. The manual is available from several sources on the internet. The FPU features are:

  • Support for single-precision and double-precision floating-point formats
  • Support for conversion between half-precision and single-precision
  • High data transfer bandwidth through 64-bit split load and store buses
  • Completion of load transfers can be performed out-of-order
  • Normalized and denormalized data are all handled in hardware
  • Trapless operation enabling fast execution
  • Support for speculative execution

The FPU fully supports single-precision and double-precision add, subtract, multiply, divide, multiply and accumulate, and square root operations. It also provides conversions between floating-point data formats and ARM integer word format, with special operations to perform the conversion in round-towards-zero mode for high-level language support.

10/100/1000 Ethernet

The PLATFORM supports two 10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet connections using two Marvell Alaska 88E1510 Ethernet PHY devices and the Xilinx Gigabit Ethernet MACs. The PHY-to-MAC interface employs a Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) connection using four data lines at 250 Mbps each for a connection speed of 1 Gbps. The PLATFORM card contains internal magnetics and can directly drive copper CAT5e or CAT6 twisted pairs.

Memory

The PLATFORM supports the following memory interfaces:

  • DDR3 SDRAM (APU)
  • QSPI flash (APU)
  • SPI flash memory
  • I2C EEPROM

DDR3-SDRAM

The ARM DDR3 controller (part of the APU) is connected to a single x16-bit wide DDR3 SDRAM memory IS43TR16640 device. The IS43TR16640 is a 128 Mx16 device providing 256 Mbyte of SDRAM.

QSPI Flash (APU)

The PLATFORM supports one Spansion S25FL256S 32-MByte, Quad-SPI (QSPI) flash device. This device is used for nonvolatile storage of the ARM boot code, user data, and program. The device connects to the APU dedicated interface. The device interface may contain a secondary boot code. The device supports the Common Flash Interface (CFI). This 4-bit data memory interface can sustain burst read operations.

I2C Interface

The APU system has one I C interface for communicating with an AT24CS02 (256 x 8) EEPROM, the PLATFORM and status LED’s.

SATA Solid-State Drive

The Xilinx APU is directly connected to an onboard Solid-State Drive (SSD). The SSD contains a single level cell NAND Flash together with a controller in a single Multi-Chip package. The Multi-Chip packaged device is soldered directly to the printed circuit board for reliable electrical and mechanical connection.

The SSD has an external write protect signal HDW_WP. The HDW_WP signal must be connected or switched to ground to enable any write to the SSD. The HDW_WP signal is pulled up on card by a 4.7 kΩ resistor to the internal 3.3 V supply.

The onboard SATA drive conforms to the follow specifications:

  • Complies with Serial ATA 2.5 Specification
  • Supports speeds: 1.5 Gbps (first-generation SATA), 3 Gbps (second-generation SATA and eSATA)
  • Supports advanced technology attachment packet interface (ATAPI) devices
  • Contains high-speed descriptor-based DMA controller
  • Supports native command queuing (NCQ) commands
