25 /* Introduction:
26
27 The core device, positioned at the top of the device tree that
28 models the architecure being simulated, acts as an interface
29 between the processor engines and the modeled devices.
30
31 On the one side the processor engines issue read and write requests
32 to the core (each request further catagorised as being for an
33 instruction or data subunit) while on the other side, the core is
34 receiving address configuration and DMA requests from child
35 devices.
36
37 In the below a synopsis of the core object and device in PSIM is
38 given, details of the object can be found in the files
39 <<corefile.h>> and <<corefile.c>>.
40
41 */
42
43 /* Core::
44
45 At the heart of the interface between devices and processor engines
46 is a single core object. This object, in turn, has two children:
47
48 o a core device which exists in the device tree and provides
49 an interface to the core object to child devices.
50
51 o a set of access maps which provide an efficient
52 interface to the core object for the processor engines.

75 /* Core map management:::
76
77 The core ojbect manages two different types of address maps:
78
79 o raw-memory - the address range can be implemented using
80 a simple byte array. No device needs to be notifed of
81 any accesses to the specified memory range.
82
83 o callback - Any access to the specified address range
84 should be passed on to the associated device. That device
85 can in turn resolve the access - handling or aborting or
86 restarting it.
87
88 For callback maps it is possible to further order them by
89 specifiying specifying a callback level (eg callback + 1).
90
91 When the core is resolving an access it searches each of the maps
92 in order. First raw-memory and then callback maps (in assending
93 order of level). This search order makes it possible for latter
94 maps to overlap earlier ones. For instance, a device that wants to
95 be notified of all accesses that are not covered by raw-memory maps
96 could attach its self with an address range of the entire address
97 space.
98
99 In addition, each attached address map as an associated set of
100 access attributes (readable, writeable, executable) which are
101 verified as part of resolving each access.

116
117 At present there is no method for removing address maps. That will

119
120 The operation of mapping between an address and its destination
121 device or memory array is currently implemented using a simple
122 linked list. The posibility of replacing this list with a more
123 powerfull data structure exists.

135 /* Access maps::
136
137 Providing an interface between the processor engines and the core
138 object are the access maps (core_map). Three access maps are
139 provided, one for each of the possible access requests that can be
140 generated by a processor.
141
142 o read
143
144 o write
145
146 o execute
147
148 A processor being able to request a read (or write) or write
149 operation to any of the maps. Those operations can either be
150 highly efficient (by specifying a specific transfer size) or
151 generic (specifying a parameterized number of bytes).
152
153 Internally the core object takes the request, determines the
154 approperiate attached address space that it should handle it passes
155 it on.
