Detailed Description

TranslatingPortProxy Object Declaration for FS.

Port proxies are used when non structural entities need access to the memory system. Proxy objects replace the previous FunctionalPort, TranslatingPort and VirtualPort objects, which provided the same functionality as the proxies, but were instances of ports not corresponding to real structural ports of the simulated system. Via the port proxies all the accesses go through an actual port and thus are transparent to a potentially distributed memory and automatically adhere to the memory map of the system.
