Detailed Description

Buffered DMA engine helper class.

This class implements a simple DMA engine that feeds a FIFO buffer. The size of the buffer, the maximum number of pending requests and the maximum request size are all set when the engine is instantiated.

An asynchronous transfer of a block of data (designated by a start address and a size) is started by calling the startFill() method. The DMA engine will aggressively try to keep the internal FIFO full. As soon as there is room in the FIFO for more data and there are free request slots, a new fill will be started.

Data in the FIFO can be read back using the get() and tryGet() methods. Both request a block of data from the FIFO. However, get() panics if the block cannot be satisfied, while tryGet() simply returns false. The latter call makes it possible to implement custom buffer underrun handling.

A simple use case would be something like this:

// Create a DMA engine with a 1KiB buffer. Issue up to 8 concurrent
// uncacheable 64 byte (maximum) requests.
DmaReadFifo *dma = new DmaReadFifo(port, 1024, 64, 8,
// Start copying 4KiB data from 0xFF000000
dma->startFill(0xFF000000, 0x1000);
// Some time later when there is data in the FIFO.
uint8_t data[8];
dma->get(data, sizeof(data))
const char data[]
DmaReadFifo(DmaPort &port, size_t size, unsigned max_req_size, unsigned max_pending, Request::Flags flags=0)
Definition: dma_device.cc:371
@ UNCACHEABLE
The request is to an uncacheable address.
Definition: request.hh:125

The DMA engine allows new blocks to be requested as soon as the last request for a block has been sent (i.e., there is no need to wait for pending requests to complete). This can be queried with the atEndOfBlock() method and more advanced implementations may override the onEndOfBlock() callback.

◆ drain()

DrainState gem5::DmaReadFifo::drain ( )
overridevirtual

Draining is the process of clearing out the states of SimObjects.These are the SimObjects that are partially executed or are partially in flight.

Draining is mostly used before forking and creating a check point.

This function notifies an object that it needs to drain its state.

If the object does not need further simulation to drain internal buffers, it returns DrainState::Drained and automatically switches to the Drained state. If the object needs more simulation, it returns DrainState::Draining and automatically enters the Draining state. Other return values are invalid.

Note
An object that has entered the Drained state can be disturbed by other objects in the system and consequently stop being drained. These perturbations are not visible in the drain state. The simulator therefore repeats the draining process until all objects return DrainState::Drained on the first call to drain().
Returns
DrainState::Drained if the object is drained at this point in time, DrainState::Draining if it needs further simulation.

Implements gem5::Drainable.

◆ onEndOfBlock()

virtual void gem5::DmaReadFifo::onEndOfBlock ( )
inlineprotectedvirtual

End of block callback.

This callback is called once after the last access in a block has been sent. It is legal for a derived class to call startFill() from this method to initiate a transfer.

Reimplemented in gem5::HDLcd::DmaEngine.

Definition at line 488 of file dma_device.hh.

Referenced by resumeFill().

◆ onIdle()

virtual void gem5::DmaReadFifo::onIdle ( )
inlineprotectedvirtual

Last response received callback.

This callback is called when the DMA engine becomes idle (i.e., there are no pending requests).

It is possible for a DMA engine to reach the end of block and become idle at the same tick. In such a case, the onEndOfBlock() callback will be called first. This callback will NOT be called if that callback initiates a new DMA transfer.

◆ startFill()

void gem5::DmaReadFifo::startFill ( Addr  start,
size_t  size 
)

Start filling the FIFO.

◆ stopFill()

void gem5::DmaReadFifo::stopFill ( )

Stop the DMA engine.

Stop filling the FIFO and ignore incoming responses for pending requests. The onEndOfBlock() callback will not be called after this method has been invoked. However, once the last response has been received, the onIdle() callback will still be called.

◆ tryGet() [2/2]

bool gem5::DmaReadFifo::tryGet ( uint8_t *  dst,
size_t  len 
)

Try to read data from the FIFO.

This method reads len bytes of data from the FIFO and stores them in the memory location pointed to by dst. The method fails, and no data is written to the buffer, if the FIFO doesn't contain enough data to satisfy the request.

Parameters
dstPointer to a destination buffer
lenAmount of data to read.
Returns
true on success, false otherwise.
