AMBA APB
========
Both APB3 and APB4 standards are supported.
.. warning::
Some IP vendors will incorrectly implement the address signalling
assuming word-addresses. (that each increment of ``PADDR`` is the next word)
For this exporter, values on the interface's ``PADDR`` input are interpreted
as byte-addresses. (an APB interface with 32-bit wide data increments
``PADDR`` in steps of 4 for every word). Even though APB protocol does not
allow for unaligned transfers, this is in accordance to the official AMBA
specification.
Be sure to double-check the interpretation of your interconnect IP. A simple
bit-shift operation can be used to correct this if necessary.
APB3
----
Implements the register block using an
`AMBA 3 APB <https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0024/b/Introduction/About-the-AMBA-3-APB>`_
CPU interface.
The APB3 CPU interface comes in two i/o port flavors:
SystemVerilog Interface
* Command line: ``--cpuif apb3``
* Interface Definition: :download:`apb3_intf.sv <../../hdl-src/apb3_intf.sv>`
* Class: :class:`peakrdl_regblock.cpuif.apb3.APB3_Cpuif`
Flattened inputs/outputs
Flattens the interface into discrete input and output ports.
* Command line: ``--cpuif apb3-flat``
* Class: :class:`peakrdl_regblock.cpuif.apb3.APB3_Cpuif_flattened`
APB4
----
Implements the register block using an
`AMBA 4 APB <https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0024/d/?lang=en>`_
CPU interface.
The APB4 CPU interface comes in two i/o port flavors:
SystemVerilog Interface
* Command line: ``--cpuif apb4``
* Interface Definition: :download:`apb4_intf.sv <../../hdl-src/apb4_intf.sv>`
* Class: :class:`peakrdl_regblock.cpuif.apb4.APB4_Cpuif`
Flattened inputs/outputs
Flattens the interface into discrete input and output ports.
* Command line: ``--cpuif apb4-flat``
* Class: :class:`peakrdl_regblock.cpuif.apb4.APB4_Cpuif_flattened`
