Model Specific Information

This page provides introductory usage information for an Imperas OVP peripheral behavioral model. The page is split into sections providing specific information for this peripheral, including any ports for connecting into a platform, registers, other component parts, and configuration options and general information for peripheral modeling with Imperas OVP.

Description

AIC: Advanced Interrupt Controller This model contains an accurate Register set interface. The functionality has only been implemented to sufficiently boot uClinux The Advanced Interrupt Controller has an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt controller, and drives the NIRQ and NFIQ pins of the ARM7TDMI from: The external fast interrupt line (FIQ) The three external interrupt request lines (IRQ0 - IRQ2) The interrupt signals from the on-chip peripherals The AIC is extensively programmable offering maximum flexibility, and its vectoring features reduce the real-time overhead in handling interrupts. The AIC also features a spurious vector detection feature, which reduces spurious interrupt handling to a minimum, and a protect mode that facilitates the debug capabilities.
