Integer fields

Register fields can be of the type integer. Meaning, a numeric field, as opposed to a bit vector, that has a defined upper and lower range.

This page will show you how the set up integer fields in a register, and will showcase all the code that can be generated from it.

Usage in TOML

The TOML file below shows how to set up a register with three integer fields. See comments for rules about the different properties.

TOML that sets up a register with integer fields.
 1[config]
 2
 3mode = "r_w"
 4description = "Configuration register."
 5
 6# This will allocate an integer field named "burst_length_bytes" in the "config" register.
 7[config.burst_length_bytes]
 8
 9# The "type" property MUST be present and set to "integer".
10type = "integer"
11
12# The "min_value" property is OPTIONAL for an integer field.
13# Will default to 0 if not specified.
14# The value specified MUST be an integer.
15min_value = 1
16
17# The "max_value" property MUST be present for an integer field.
18# The value specified MUST be an integer, and greater than or equal to the
19# "min_value" parameter value.
20max_value = 256
21
22# The "description" property is OPTIONAL for an integer field.
23# Will default to "" if not specified.
24# The value specified MUST be a string.
25description = "The number of bytes to request."
26
27# The "default_value" property is OPTIONAL for a integer field.
28# Will default to the "min_value" parameter value if not specified.
29# The value specified MUST be an integer within the specified min/max range.
30default_value = 64
31
32
33[config.increment]
34
35type = "integer"
36min_value = -4
37max_value = 3
38description = "Offset that will be added to data."
39default_value = 0
40
41
42[config.retry_count]
43
44type = "integer"
45max_value = 5
46description = "Number of retry attempts before giving up."

Note that the second field has a negative range, which is fully supported. Note also that the third field does not any lower bound specified, meaning it will default to zero. It furthermore does not have any default value, meaning it will automatically default to the lower bound, i.e. zero.

Below you will see how you can parse this TOML file and generate artifacts from it.

Usage with Python API

The Python code below shows

  1. How to parse the TOML file listed above.

  2. How to create an identical register list when instead using the Python API.

  3. How to generate register artifacts.

Note that the result of the create_from_api call is identical to that of the parse_toml call. Meaning that using a TOML file or using the Python API is completely equivalent. You choose yourself which method you want to use in your code base.

VHDL package

The VHDL code below is produced by the generate() call in the Python example above. Click the button to expand and view the code. See VHDL code generator for instructions on how it can be used in your VHDL project.

Base register package

Some interesting things to notice:

  1. There is only one register, at index 0.

  2. VHDL supports integer types natively. For each field there is a sub-type that is a properly ranged integer.

  3. For each integer field, there are conversion functions for

    1. Converting from the integer type to std_logic_vector.

    2. Slicing a register value at the correct range and converting from std_logic_vector to integer.

Record package

The caesar_regs_down_t type is a record with a member config, the only register in this example. The type of the config member is another record with the three integers set up in our example: burst_length_bytes, increment and retry_count. These are of integer types defined in the base register package above.

In our VHDL code we can access a field value for example like this:

result_data <= input_data + regs_down.config.increment;

The class header is skipped here, since its inclusion would make this page very long. See C++ code generator for more details and an example of how the excluded file might look.

Note that the setters and getters for each field value use integer types as argument or return value. The signed field uses int32_t while the unsigned fields use uint32_t.

C++ implementation

Note that each setter and getter perform assertions that the supplied argument is withing the legal range of the field. This will catch calculation errors during testing and at run-time.
