SPI4 Bus Functional Model

E

This chapter describes two Application Program Interfaces (APIs) supported through the IXP2800 
SPI4 Bus Function Model (BFM) - which simulates the SPI4 protocol, OIF-SPI4-02.0, through the 
transactor Foreign Model Interface (FMI). 

E.1

Overview

The SPI4 BFM is invoked by the IXP2800 transactor through the foreign_model transactor 
command and synchronized with the same event control logic as the transactor. 

The SPI4 BFM, spi4_bfm.dll, provides function calls for users to configure and access FIFO status 
either through extended console functions or a C-API. The extended console functions are 
recognized by the C-interpreter embedded in the transactor, such that the programmer can invoke 
these functions through transactor scripts or by typing them into the transactor command line. The 
C-API is used mainly for an external software component, such as the Developers Workbench, to 
use the SPI4 BFM through C functions.

E.2

SPI4 BFM Help

To access additional information about the SPI4 BFM:

spi4_help();

This command prints out all supported console functions. The 
commands are:
spi4_help, spi4_help_fn, spi4_define_device, 
spi4_set_device_rx_param, spi4_set_port_rx_param, 
spi4_set_device_tx_param, spi4_set_port_tx_param, 
spi4_create_device, spi4_connect_device, spi4_enable_device, 
spi4_enable_port, spi4_set_device_stop_control, 
spi4_set_port_stop_control, spi4_set_sim_options, spi4_get_tx_stat    
spi4_version, spi4_set_network_log, spi4_get_receive_stats_packet, 
spi4_get_receive_stats_byte, spi4_get_receive_stats_cycle, 
spi4_get_transmit_stats_packet, spi4_get_transmit_stats_byte, 
spi4_get_transmit_stats_cycle, spi4_get_rx_buffer_byte, 
spi4_get_rx_buffer_int32, spi4_get_tx_buffer_byte, 
spi4_get_tx_buffer_int32, spi4_get_rx_clock_cycle 
spi4_get_tx_clock_cycle, spi4_reset_stat, spi4_debug_log

spi4_help_fn(fn_name);

This command prints out the argument list and a brief explanation of the 
specified function. For example: 
spi4_help_fn("spi4_define_device");
spi4_define_device(string device_type, int device_id, int num_ports) 
device_type: any string
device_id: unique device id
num_ports: # of ports
