READER¶

DMA DRAM reader.

Allows to check DRAM contents against a predefined pattern using DMA.

Pattern¶

Provides access to RAM to store access pattern: mem_addr and mem_data. The pattern address space can be limited using the data_mask.

For example, having mem_adr filled with [ 0x04, 0x02, 0x03, … ] and mem_data filled with [ 0xff, 0xaa, 0x55, … ] and setting data_mask = 0b01, the pattern [(address, data), …] written will be: [(0x04, 0xff), (0x02, 0xaa), (0x04, 0xff), …] (wraps due to masking).

DRAM memory range that is being accessed can be configured using mem_mask.

To use this module, make sure that ready is 1, then write the desired number of transfers to count. Writing to the start CSR will initialize the operation. When the operation is ongoing ready will be 0.

Reading errors¶

This module allows to check the locations of errors in the memory. It scans the configured memory area and compares the values read to the predefined pattern. If skip_fifo is 0, this module will stop after each error encountered, so that it can be examined. Wait until the error_ready CSR is 1. Then use the CSRs error_offset, error_data and error_expected to examine the errors in the current transfer. To continue reading, write 1 to error_continue CSR. Setting skip_fifo to 1 will disable this behaviour entirely.

The final number of errors can be read from error_count. NOTE: This value represents the number of erroneous DMA transfers.

The current progress can be read from the done CSR.
