OVP Peripheral Model: CirrusGD5446



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.

Licensing

Open Source Apache 2.0

Description

Cirrus CL GD5446 VGA controller.

Limitations

This model has sufficient functionality to allow a Linux Kernel to Boot on the MIPS:MALTA platform. The VGA peripheral utilises memory mapping. This requires the use of ICM memory for the frame buffers, which currently may stop its use in SystemC TLM2 platforms.

Reference

CL-GD5446 Preliminary Databook, Version 2.0, November 1996

Location

The GD5446 peripheral model is located in an Imperas/OVP installation at the VLNV: cirrus.ovpworld.org / peripheral / GD5446 / 1.0.
