Initial version.

1. Introduction

The GRSPW2 is part of the GRLIB IP library. It is available in libTEMUGrspw2.so.

2. Configuration

To work correctly, the device should be connected to an interrupt controller, the memory and another SpaceWire device.

There are several configuration parameters in the GrSpw2 device, summarized in the following table:

Name Description

config.infiniteSpeed

With this set, messages are sent immediately instead of being scheduled for the future based on the message length. This is the default option.

config.transmitter.frequency

Specify the SpaceWire transmitter frequency in Hz. Affects transfer speed when infinite speed is disabled.

config.transmitter.dataRate

SpaceWire port datarate: 1=single, 2=double, etc. Affects transfer speed when infinite speed is disabled.

config.dma.rxdescnum

Specifies the amount of rx description (0=128, 1=256, 2=512, 3=1024). This affect the regs.dmaRxDescTableAddr

config.dma.txdescnum

Specifies the amount of tx descriptors (0=64, 1=128, 2=256, 3=512). This affect the regs.dmaTxDescTableAddr

config.interrupt

Influences the interrupt that is raised with the IRQ controller (setting this property also updates the APB PnP info).

config.realCrcCheck

Set to use real crc check instead of packet crc flags. Real crc costs in terms of performance.

4. Limitations

The following deviations from real hardware are known to exist with this model:

  • Althougth the device already provides two ports, dual port is not yet implemented. Let us know if you need this feature implemented.

  • The link interface currently effectively uses only ErrorReset, Ready, Connecting and Run states. Therefore, those are the only values that will be visible on the status register.

  • RMAPEN and PNPEN signals not available

5. Examples

This example shows how to create two Grspw2 devices and connect them.

import BusModels
import TEMUGrspw2
object-create class=Grspw2 name=grspw0
object-create class=Grspw2 name=grspw1
spw-connect port1=grspw0:SpwPortIface[0] port2=grspw1:SpwPortIface[0]
