We Have Atomic Operation Control (ATOMCTL) Register.
|
|
This register determines the effect of using a S32C1I instruction
|
|
with various combinations of:
|
|
|
|
1. With and without an Coherent Cache Controller which
|
|
can do Atomic Transactions to the memory internally.
|
|
|
|
2. With and without An Intelligent Memory Controller which
|
|
can do Atomic Transactions itself.
|
|
|
|
The Core comes up with a default value of for the three types of cache ops:
|
|
|
|
0x28: (WB: Internal, WT: Internal, BY:Exception)
|
|
|
|
On the FPGA Cards we typically simulate an Intelligent Memory controller
|
|
which can implement RCW transactions. For FPGA cards with an External
|
|
Memory controller we let it to the atomic operations internally while
|
|
doing a Cached (WB) transaction and use the Memory RCW for un-cached
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
For systems without an coherent cache controller, non-MX, we always
|
|
use the memory controllers RCW, thought non-MX controlers likely
|
|
support the Internal Operation.
|
|
|
|
CUSTOMER-WARNING:
|
|
Virtually all customers buy their memory controllers from vendors that
|
|
don't support atomic RCW memory transactions and will likely want to
|
|
configure this register to not use RCW.
|
|
|
|
Developers might find using RCW in Bypass mode convenient when testing
|
|
with the cache being bypassed; for example studying cache alias problems.
