4.0 Memories
Memories, whether they are RAMs, ROMs or special memories like FIFOs
are easily modeled in Verilog. Note that you can define your own special
testbench locations for debugging! Say, you have a processor core hooked
up to these memories. Define some special locations that when read or
written to, display diagnostic messages. Or, you can specify that a write to
a particular location will halt the simulation or signify PASS or FAIL.
Memories are an easy way for the embedded Verilog core processor to
communicate to the testbench. There are many possibilities.
reg [15:0] FLASH_memory [0:(1024*32 - 1)]; // 32K of FLASH
reg [15:0] SRAM_memory [0:(1024*32 - 1)]; // 32K of SRAM
//*****
//
// The ASIC's ca[20] is the active LO chip select for the FLASH.
// The ASIC's ca[18] is the active LO chip select for the SRAM.
// Write process for FLASH and SRAM
//
always @(posedge cwn) begin
if (ca[20] == 1'b0) begin
// Write to FLASH
if (ca[16:15] != 2'b00) begin
$display ("Illegal write to FLASH!");
end
else begin
$display ("Write to FLASH Address = %h, Data = %h", ca, cb);
// Our FLASH is only declared up to 32KW, so use ca[14:0]
FLASH_memory[ca[14:0]] = cb;
// Check for magic write from the embedded processor core! This is done in the
// C firmware simply by writing to the location.
//
if (ca == `MAGIC_ADDRESS) begin
$display ("Embedded code has signalled DONE!");
sa_test_status = `SA_TEST_DONE;
sa_test_result = cb;
end
end
end
else if (ca[18] == 1'b0) begin
// Write to SRAM
if (ca[16:15] != 2'b00) begin
$display ("Illegal write to SRAM!");
end
else begin
$display ("Write to SRAM Address = %h, Data = %h", ca, cb);
// Our SRAM is only declared up to 32KW, so use ca[14:0]
SRAM_memory[ca[14:0]] = cb;
end
end
end
// Read process for FLASH and SRAM
//
always @(crn) begin
if (crn == 1'b0) begin
case ({ca[20], ca[18]})
2'b11: cb_i <= 16'hzzzz;
2'b10: begin
$display ("Read from SRAM Address = %h, Data = %h", ca, SRAM_memory[ca[14:0]]);
cb_i <= SRAM_memory[ca[14:0]];
end
2'b01: begin
$display ("Read from FLASH Address = %h, Data = %h", ca, FLASH_memory[ca[14:0]]);
cb_i <= FLASH_memory[ca[14:0]];
end
2'b00: begin
$display ("Simultaneosly selecting FLASH and SRAM!!");
end
endcase
end
else begin
cb_i <= 16'hzzzz;
end
end
Clearing the memories is easy:
task clear_SRAM;
reg [15:0] SRAM_address;
begin
$display ("Clearing SRAM..");
for (SRAM_address = 16'h0000; SRAM_address < 16'h8000; SRAM_address = SRAM_address + 1) begin
SRAM_memory[SRAM_address] = 0;
end
end
endtask
Performing other operations is straight-forward. How about a task
that copies a firmware hex image to a FLASH memories boot area,
relocating along the way and maybe setting a hew header bytes too.
Now, this task is specific to a particular processor, etc. but this
shows what is fairly easily done in Verilog:
task copy_to_FLASH_boot;
reg [15:0] temp_memory[0:1023];
reg [15:0] original_address;
reg [15:0] FLASH_address;
integer n;
begin
$display ("Copying ROM image to FLASH boot block..");
// Read in the normal ROM file into our temporary memory.
for (original_address = 0; original_address < 1024; original_address = original_address + 1) begin
temp_memory[original_address] = 0;
end
$readmemh (`ROM_FILE, temp_memory);
// Fill in Boot header
FLASH_memory[15'h0800] = `BOOT_COPY_LENGTH; // Let's copy 1KW maximum
FLASH_memory[15'h0801] = 0; // Copy program to code space starting at zero
FLASH_memory[15'h0802] = temp_memory[3]; // Entry point is same as the address in the reset vector
// Now, copy from original image into the boot area.
n = 0;
FLASH_address = 15'h0803;
original_address = 0;
while (n < 1024) begin
FLASH_memory[FLASH_address] = temp_memory[original_address];
FLASH_address = FLASH_address + 1;
original_address = original_address + 1;
n = n + 1;
end
end
endtask
Also, test vectors are easily loaded into Verilog memories using the
$readmem statements. You may easily read your stimulus vectors
from a file into a memory, clock out the vectors to your circuit, and
optionally capture your circuits response to another memory (or simply
write the vector out using $fdisplay). Once you have captured one
output vector set that you know is good (e.g. your "Golden" vectors),
your testbench can compare subsequent simulation vectors against
these "Golden" vectors and detect any problems in your changing
circuit (e.g. after back-annotation, scan insertion, or alpha space
particle circuit corruption).
5.0 Bus Models
Many times a processor is interfaced to the logic being tested. If the
complete processor model/core is not present, then a "bus model" is
a simple function that emulates the bus transaction. More simply; the
bus model allows the testbench to read and write values. The following
task utilizes very specific timing delays. You should probably include
'defines' for these and update them as you get better timing information.
Typically, you will test your UART or whatever peripheral in isolation
with the bus model, and later test your peripheral with the real processor core.
write_to_foobar (COMPAREH_REGISTER, next_word[31:16]);
#10;
write_to_ foobar(COMPAREL _REGISTER, next_word[15:0]);
#10;
task write_to_foobar;
input [15:0] address_arg;
input [15:0] data_arg;
// Several global bus signals are assumed: address, we, clk.
begin
/* Wait until next rising clock edge */
@(posedge clk);
/* t_valid for address is 5ns, wait and then drive address */
#5; // <---- Manually back-annotate this, or use a define, whatever...
address = address_arg;
/* t_valid for wrxxx is 8ns, we are already 5ns into cycle, so wait 3ns */
#3;
we <= 1'b1;
/* t_valid for wrdata is 20ns, We are 8ns into cycle, wait 12ns */
#12
data <= data_arg;
/* Wait till the next rising edge, wait for a little bit of hold time. */
@(posedge clk40);
#1;
address <= 4'hz;
#1;
we <= 1'b0;
#4;
data <= 16'hzzzz;
//$display ("Writing data %h to address: %h", data, address);
end
endtask
Here's a task that reads from the memory-mapped peripheral.
task read_from_foobar;
input [3:0] address_arg;
// Let's just write to a global with the resulting data retrieved (! bad practice, I know....)
// Gobal variable is 'last_data_read'.
begin
/* Wait until next rising edge to do anything.. */
@(posedge clk)
/* t_valid for rwadrs is 5ns, wait and then drive address */
#5;
address = address_arg;
/* t_valid for rbxxx is 8ns, we are already 5ns into cycle, so wait 3ns */
#3;
rw <= 1'b1;
/* Wait till the next rising edge, wait for a little bit of hold time. */
@(posedge clk);
last_data_read = data; // <-- keep in the global, caller can use if they wish.
$display ("Reading data %h from address: %h", data, address);
/* Wrap it up. Deassert rw. Let's float the address bus. */
rw <= 1'b0;
#1;
address <= 16'hzzzz;
