Hi,

Can you please point me to the examples where the usage of GIC block in ARM is illustrated in imperas directory?
Is this block implemented as per : https://developer.arm.com/architectures/learn-the-architecture/arm-corelink-generic-interrupt-controller-v3-and-v4-overview/single-page
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dai0492/b/

Thanks in advance !

Yes, the GIC within the ARM OVP Processor model can be configured to execute in a number of modes, including v3 GIC.

Please see the processor specific documentation for the ARM processor variant you are interested in configuring for the list of Formal Parameters which are used to configure the model e.g. enableGICv3 enabls the GIC to support v3 registers etc

The processor model documents would be found at PATH IMPERAS_HOME\ImperasLib\source\arm.ovpworld.org\processor\arm\1.0\doc with names such as OVP_Model_Specific_Information_arm_Cortex-A55MPx4.pdf

Hope this helps
