systemc - SystemC 仿真应用程序中的问题处理信号

Question

我正在模拟 CPU，并且正在使用高级模拟工具进行此操作。 SystemC 是用于这些目的的一个很好的资源。我正在使用两个模块:

数据路径

内存

CPU 数据路径被建模为一个独特的高级实体，但是下面的代码肯定会比任何其他解释更好:

以下是datapath.hpp

SC_MODULE(DataPath) {
    sc_in_clk clk;
    sc_in<bool> rst;
    ///
    /// Outgoing data from memory.
    ///
    sc_in<w32> mem_data;
    ///
    /// Memory read enable control signal.
    ///
    sc_out<sc_logic> mem_ctr_memreadenable;
    ///
    /// Memory write enable control signal.
    ///
    sc_out<sc_logic> mem_ctr_memwriteenable;
    ///
    /// Data to be written in memory.
    ///
    sc_out<w32> mem_dataw; //w32 is sc_lv<32>
    ///
    /// Address in mem to read and write.
    ///
    sc_out<memaddr> mem_addr;
    ///
    /// Program counter.
    ///
    sc_signal<w32> pc;
    ///
    /// State signal.
    ///
    sc_signal<int> cu_state;
    ///
    /// Other internal signals mapping registers' value.
    /// ...

    // Defining process functions
    ///
    /// Clock driven process to change state.
    ///
    void state_process();
    ///
    /// State driven process to apply control signals.
    ///
    void control_process();

    // Constructors
    SC_CTOR(DataPath) {
        // Defining first process
        SC_CTHREAD(state_process, clk.neg());
        reset_signal_is(this->rst, true);
        // Defining second process
        SC_METHOD(control_process);
        sensitive << (this->cu_state) << (this->rst);
    }

    // Defining general functions
    void reset_signals();
};

以下是datapath.cpp

void DataPath::state_process() {
    // Useful variables
    w32 ir_value; /* Placing here IR register value */
    // Initialization phase
    this->cu_state.write(StateFetch); /* StateFetch is a constant */
    wait(); /* Wait next clock fall edge */
    // Cycling
    for (;;) {
        // Checking state
        switch (this->cu_state.read()) { // Basing on state, let's change the next one
        case StateFetch: /* FETCH */
            this->cu_state.write(StateDecode); /* Transition to DECODE */
            break;
        case StateDecode: /* DECODE */
            // Doing decode
            break;
        case StateExecR: /* EXEC R */
            // For every state, manage transition to the next state
            break;
        //...
        //...
        default: /* Possible not recognized state */
            this->cu_state.write(StateFetch); /* Come back to fetch */
        } /* switch */
        // After doing, wait for the next clock fall edge
        wait();
    } /* for */
} /* function */

// State driven process for managing signal assignment
// This is a method process
void DataPath::control_process() {
    // If reset signal is up then CU must be resetted
    if (this->rst.read()) {
        // Reset
        this->reset_signals(); /* Initializing signals */
    } else {
        // No Reset
        // Switching on state
        switch (this->cu_state.read()) {
        case StateFetch: /* FETCH */
            // Managing memory address and instruction fetch to place in IR
            this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.write(logic_sgm_1); /* Enabling memory to be read */
            this->mem_ctr_memwriteenable.write(logic_sgm_0); /* Disabling memory from being written */
            std::cout << "Entering fetch, memread=" << this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.read() << " memwrite=" << this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.read() << std::endl;
            // Here I read from memory and get the instruction with some code that you do not need to worry about because my problem occurs HERE ###
            break;
        case kCUStateDecode: /* DECODE */
            // ...
            break;
        //...
        //...
        default: /* Unrecognized */
            newpc = "00000000000000000000000000000000";
        } /* state switch */
    } /* rst if */
} /* function */

// Resetting signals
void DataPath::reset_signals() {
    // Out signals
    this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.write(logic_sgm_1);
    this->mem_ctr_memwriteenable.write(logic_sgm_0);
}

如您所见，我们有一个处理 cpu 转换(更改状态)的时钟驱动进程和一个为 cpu 设置信号的状态驱动进程。

我的问题是当我到达 ###我希望内存释放指令(您看不到指令，但它们是正确的，内存组件使用您可以在 hpp 文件中看到的输入和输出信号连接到数据路径)。
内存让我 "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"因为 mem_ctr_memreadenable和 mem_ctr_memwriteenable都设置为 '0' .
内存模块是为了成为即时组件而编写的。它是使用 SC_METHOD 编写的谁的 sensitive在输入信号上定义(包括读使能和写使能)。内存组件获取 "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"当 mem_ctr_memreadenable信号是 '0' .

为什么是 '0' ?我重置信号并将该信号设置为 '1' .我不明白为什么我一直有 '0'为读使能信号。

你能帮助我吗？
谢谢你。

Answer 1

我不是 SystemC 专家，但它看起来可能与常见的 VHDL 问题类似，即信号在至少一个增量周期过去之前不会更新:

this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.write(logic_sgm_1); /* Enabling memory to be read */
this->mem_ctr_memwriteenable.write(logic_sgm_0); /* Disabling memory from being written */

我的猜测:这两行和下一行之间没有时间流逝:

std::cout << "Entering fetch, memread=" << this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.read() << " memwrite=" << this->mem_ctr_memreadenable.read() << std::endl;

所以内存还没有看到读取信号的变化。顺便说一句，应该是 read() 之一附加到 mem_ctr_memwriteenable 的电话- 两者似乎都可读？

如果你:

wait(1, SC_NS);

在这两点之间，它会改善问题吗？
