Exerciser API Porting Guide

This document gives details of the various PCIe capabilities that exerciser device supports and how the exerciser is supposed to behave. It targets the Silicon partners and/or EDA vendors who are porting Exerciser API's on their platform.

Introduction to PCIe Exerciser Endpoint Device

PCIe Exerciser is a client device wrapped up by PCIe Endpoint. This device was created to generate custom stimuli to meet BSA (Base System Architecture) requirements for various PCIe capability validation tests.

  • Trigger the DMA to/from the buffer

    Bdf - BDF of the exerciser

  • Program exerciser to start sending TLPs with PASID TLP Prefixes. This includes setting PASID Enable bit in exerciser PASID Control register and the implementation specific PASID Enable bit of the Root Port.

    Ops - TXN_NO_SNOOP_DISABLE
    Param - Null
    Bdf - BDF of the exerciser

    Type - DMA_ATTRIBUTES
    Value1 - Buffer containing the data or the Buffer where the data to be copied
    Value2 - Size of the data
    BDF - BDF of the exerciser
  • Trigger the DMA to/from the buffer
    pal_exerciser_ops(Ops, Param, Bdf)
    Ops - START_DMA
    Param - EDMA_TO_DEVICE or EDMA_FROM_DEVICE
    Bdf - BDF of the exerciser

ATS Request

  • Before starting an ATS request, untranslated input address for ATSRequest must be written onto Bus Address Register

    Type - DMA_ATTRIBUTES
    Value1 - Untranslated input address
    Value2 - Size
    BDF - BDF of the exerciser
  • Send an ATS Translation Request for the VA
    pal_exerciser_ops(Ops, Param, Bdf)
    Ops - ATS_TXN_REQ
    Param - VA
    Bdf - BDF of the exerciser
  • Get ATS Translation Response
    pal_exerciser_get_param(Type, Value1, Value2, Bdf)
    Type - ATS_RES_ATTRIBUTES
    Value1 - Buffer to store translated address
    Value2 - Null
    Bdf - BDF of the exerciser

Generating DMA with Address Translated(AT)

  • Configure Exerciser to issue subsequent DMA transactions with AT(Address Translated) bit Set
    pal_exerciser_set_param(Type, Value1, Value2, Bdf)
    Type - CFG_TXN_ATTRIBUTES
    Value1 - TXN_ADDR_TYPE
    Value2 - AT_TRANSLATED
    BDF - BDF of the exerciser

Error Injection

Error injection capability enables user to inject error in a PCIe endpoint.
