Issuing Read and Write Transactions to the Application Layer
Read and write transactions are issued to the Endpoint Application Layer by calling
one of the
ebfm_bar procedures in altpcietb_bfm_driver_rp.v. The procedures and
functions listed below are available in the Verilog HDL include file
altpcietb_bfm_driver_rp.v
. The complete list of available procedures and functions is
as follows:
■ ebfm_barwr —writes data from BFM shared memory to an offset from a specific
Endpoint BAR. This procedure returns as soon as the request has been passed to
the VC interface module for transmission.
■ ebfm_barwr_imm —writes a maximum of four bytes of immediate data (passed in a
procedure call) to an offset from a specific Endpoint BAR. This procedure returns
as soon as the request has been passed to the VC interface module for
transmission.
■ ebfm_barrd_wait —reads data from an offset of a specific Endpoint BAR and stores
it in BFM shared memory. This procedure blocks waiting for the completion data
to be returned before returning control to the caller.
