This lab introduces the basic I/O capabili es of the DE1-SoC computer, more specifically, the slider switches, pushbu ons, LEDs, 7-Segment (HEX) displays and mers. A er wri ng assembly drivers that interface with the I/O components, mers and interrupts are used to demonstrate polling and interrupt based applica ons.

Part 1- Basic I/O

For this part, it is necessary to refer to sec ons 2.9.1 – 2.9.4 (pp. 7 – 9) and 3.4.1 (p. 14) in the DE1-SoC Computer_Manual.

Brief overview

The hardware setup of the I/O components is fairly simple to understand. The ARM cores have designated addresses in memory that are connected to hardware circuits on the FPGA through parallel ports, and these hardware circuits, in turn, interface with the physical I/O components. In most cases of the basic I/Os, the FPGA hardware simply maps the I/O terminals to the memory address designated to it. There are several parallel ports implemented in the FPGA that support input, output, and bidirec onal transfers of data between the ARM A9 processor and I/O peripherals. For instance, the state of the slider switches is available to the FPGA on bus of 10 wires which carry either a logical ’0’ or ’1’ . The state of the slider switches is then stored in the memory address reserved for the slider switches ( 0xFF200040 in this case).

It is useful to have a slightly more sophis cated FPGA hardware. For instance, in the case of the push-bu ons, in addi on to knowing the state of the bu on, it is also helpful to know whether a falling edge is detected, signaling a keypress. This can be achieved by a simple edge detec on circuit in the FPGA. This sec on will deal with wri ng assembly code to control the I/O components by reading from and wri ng to the memory.

Getting Started: Drivers for slider switches and LEDs

To access the memories designated to the I/O interfaces you need drivers. In other words, you need to write subrou nes (derivers) in order to write to or read from the I/O interface memories. Therefore, you must follow the conven ons you have learned in this course when describing your drivers in assembly language.

 

/
1. Slider Switches: Create a new subrou ne labelled read_slider_switches_ASM, which reads the value from the memory loca on designated for the slider switches data (SW_MEMORY) and stores it into the R0 register, and then branches to the address contained in the link register ( LR ). Remember to use the subrou ne calling conven on, and save the context (Registers) if needed!

2. LEDs: Create a new subrou ne labelled write_LEDs_ASM. The write_LEDs_ASM subrou ne writes the value in R0 to the LEDs memory loca on (LED_MEMORY), and then branches to the address contained in the LR .

To help you get started, the codes for the slider switches and LEDs drivers have been provided below. Use them as templates for wri ng future drivers.

 

• Sider Switches Driver

• returns the state of slider switches in R0

.equ SW_MEMORY, 0xFF200040

/* The EQU directive gives a symbolic name to a numeric constant, a register-relative value or a PC-relative value. */ read_slider_switches_ASM:

LDR R1, =SW_MEMORY LDR R0, [R1]

BX LR

 

 

• LEDs Driver

• writes the state of LEDs (On/Off state) in R0 to the LEDs memory location

.equ LED_MEMORY, 0xFF200000 write_LEDs_ASM:

LDR R1, =LED_MEMORY STR R0, [R1]

BX LR

 

 

Your objec ve for this part of the Lab is to use the read_slider_switches_ASM and the

write_LEDs_ASM subrou nes to turn on/off the LEDs. To do so, write an endless loop. In the loop, call the the read_slider_switches_ASM and the write_LEDs_ASM subrou nes in order. Compile and Run (Con nue) your project and then, change the state of the switches in the online simulator to turn on/off the corresponding LEDs. Note that both the Switches and the LEDs panels are located on the top corner of your screen. Figure below demonstrates the result of ac va ng slider switches 0, 4, 5 and 9.

More Advanced Drivers: Drivers for HEX displays and push-buttons

 

Now that the basic structure of the drivers has been introduced, we can write more advanced drivers i.e., HEX displays and push-bu ons drivers.

1- HEX displays: There are 6 HEX displays (HEX0 to HEX5) on the DE1-SoC Computer board. You are required to write three subrou nes to implement the func ons listed below to control the HEX displays:

HEX_clear_ASM: The subrou ne will turn off all the segments of the HEX displays passed in the argument. It receives the HEX displays indices through R0 register as an argument. HEX_flood_ASM: The subrou ne will turn on all the segments of the HEX displays passed in the argument. It receives the HEX displays indices through R0 register as an argument. HEX_write_ASM: The subrou ne receives the HEX displays indices and an integer value between 0-15 through R0 and R1 registers as an arguments, respec vely. Based on the second argument value ( R1 ), the subrou ne will display the corresponding hexadecimal digit (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F) on the display(s).

The subrou nes should check the argument for all the displays HEX0-HEX5, and write to whichever ones have been asserted. A loop may be useful here! The HEX displays indices can be encoded based on a one-hot encoding scheme:

 

/
HEX0 = 0x00000001

HEX1 = 0x00000002

HEX2 = 0x00000004

HEX3 = 0x00000008

HEX4 = 0x00000010

HEX5 = 0x00000020

 

For example, you may pass 0x0000000C segments of HEX2 and HEX3 displays:

 

to the HEX_flood_ASM subrou ne to turn on all the

mov R0, #0x0000000C

BL HEX_flood_ASM

 

2- Pushbu ons: There are 4 Pushbu ons (PB0 to PB3) on the DE1-SoC Computer board. You are required to write seven subrou nes to implement the func ons listed below to control the pushbu ons:

read_PB_data_ASM: The subrou ne returns the indices of the pressed pushbu ons (the keys form the pushbu ons Data register). The indices are encoded based on a one-hot encoding scheme:

 

PB0 = 0x00000001

PB1 = 0x00000002

PB2 = 0x00000004

PB3 = 0x00000008

 

PB_data_is_pressed_ASM: The subrou
ne receives pushbu ons indices as an argument
(One index at a me). Then, it returns

when the the corresponding

0x00000001

pushbu on is pressed.

 

read_PB_edgecp_ASM: The subrou ne returns the indices of the pushbu ons that have
been pressed and then released (the edge bits form the pushbu
ons Edgecapture
register).

 

PB_edgecp_is_pressed_ASM: The subrou ne receives pushbu
ons indices as an

argument (One index at a me). Then, it returns 0x00000001 when the the corresponding pushbu on has been asserted.

PB_clear_edgecp_ASM: The subrou ne clears the pushbu ons Edgecapture register. You can read the edgecapture register and write what you just read back to the edgecapture register to clear it.

enable_PB_INT_ASM: The subrou ne receives pushbu ons indices as an argument. Then, it enables the interrupt func on for the corresponding pushbu ons by se ng the interrupt mask bits to ‘1’ .

 

/
disable_PB_INT_ASM: The subrou ne receives pushbu ons indices as an argument. Then, it disables the interrupt func on for the corresponding pushbu ons by se ng the interrupt mask bits to ‘0’ .

Write an applica on that uses the appropriate drivers (subrou nes) created so far to perform the following func ons. As before, the state of the slider switches will be mapped directly to the LEDs. Addi onally, the state of the last four slider switches SW3-SW0 (SW3 corresponds to the most significant bit) will be used to set the value of a number from 0-15. This number will be displayed on a HEX display when the corresponding pushbu on is pressed. For example, pressing PB0 will result in the number being displayed on HEX0. When the pushbu on is released, the value displayed on the HEX display should remain unchanged, even if you change the state of the slider switches. Since there are no pushbu ons to correspond to HEX4 and HEX5, you must turn on all the segments of the HEX4 and HEX5 displays. Finally, asser ng slider switch SW9 should clear all the HEX displays. Figure below demonstrates the result of ac va ng slider switches 0 and 3 and pressing pushbu on 0 (PB0). Remember, you have to release the pushbu ons to see the results as the Edgecapture register is updated once the pushbu ons are released (unchecked).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2- Timers

For this part, it is necessary to refer to sec ons 2.4.1 (p. 3) and 3.1 (p. 14) in the De1-SoC Computer_Manual.

Brief overview

Timers are simply hardware counters that are used to measure me and/or synchronize events. They run on a known clock frequency that is programmable in some cases (by using a phase-locked loop). Timers are usually (but not always) down counters, and by programming the start value, the me-out event (when the counter reaches zero) occurs at fixed me intervals.

/
ARM A9 Private Timer drivers

There is one ARM A9 private
mer available on the DE1-SoC Computer board. The
mer
uses a clock frequency of 200 MHz. You need to configure the
mer before using it. To
configure the
mer, you need to pass three arguments to the “configura
on subrou
ne”. The
arguments are:

 

1- Load value: ARM A9 private mer is a down counter and requires ini
al count value. Use

to pass this argument.

 

R0

 

 

2- Configura
on bits: Use

to pass this argument. Read sec
ons 2.4.1 (p. 3) and 3.1 (p. 14)

R1

 

in the De1-SoC Computer Manual carefully to learn how to handle the configura on bits.

The configura on bits are stored in the Control register of the mer.

You are required to write three subrou nes to implement the func ons listed below to control the mers:

ARM_TIM_config_ASM: The subrou ne is used to configure the mer. Use the arguments

discussed above to configure the mer.

 

ARM_TIM_read_INT_ASM: The subrou
ne returns the “F” value (

or

0x00000000

) from the ARM A9 private
mer Interrupt status register.
0x00000001

ARM_TIM_clear_INT_ASM: The subrou
ne clears the “F” value in the ARM A9 private

mer Interrupt status register. The F bit can be cleared to 0 by wri ng a 0x00000001 into the Interrupt status register.

To test the func onality of your subrou nes, write an assembly code that uses the ARM A9 private mer. Use the mer to count from 0 to 15 and show the count value on the HEX display (HEX0). You must increase the count value by 1 every me the “F” value is asserted (“F” becomes ‘1’ ). The count value must be reset when it reaches 15 (1, 2, 3, …, E, F, 0, 1, …). The counter should be able to count in increments of 1 second. Remember, you must clear the mer interrupt status register each me the mer sets the “F” bit in the interrupt status register to 1 by calling the ARM_TIM_clear_INT_ASM subrou ne.

Creating an application: Polling based Stopwatch!

Create a simple stopwatch using the ARM A9 private mer, pushbu ons, and HEX displays. The stopwatch should be able to count in increments of 10 milliseconds. Use the ARM A9 private mer to count me. Display milliseconds on HEX1-0, seconds on HEX3-2, and minutes on HEX5-4.

PB0, PB1, and PB2 will be used to start, stop and reset the stopwatch, respec vely. Use an endless loop to poll the pushbu on edgecapture register and the “F” bit from the ARM A9 private mer interrupt status register.

/
Part 3- Interrupts

For this part, it is necessary to refer to sec on 3 (pp. 13-17) in the De1-SoC

Computer_Manual. Furthermore, detailed informa on about the interrupt drivers is provided in the “Using the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller” document available here.

Interrupts are hardware or so ware signals that are sent to the processor to indicate that an event has occurred that needs immediate a en on. When the processor receives an interrupt, it pauses the current code execu on, handles the interrupt by execu ng code defined in an Interrupt Service Rou ne (ISR), and then resumes normal execu on.

Apart from ensuring that high priority events are given immediate a en on, interrupts also help the processor to u lize resources more efficiently. Consider the polling applica on from the previous sec on, where the processor periodically checked the pushbu ons for a keypress event. Asynchronous events such as this, if assigned an interrupt, can free the processors me and use it only when required.

ARM Generic Interrupt Controller

The ARM generic interrupt controller (GIC) is a part of the ARM A9 MPCORE processor. The GIC is connected to the IRQ interrupt signals of all I/O peripheral devices that are capable of genera ng interrupts. Most of these devices are normally external to the A9 MPCORE, and some are internal peripherals (such as mers). The GIC included with the A9 MPCORE processor in the Altera Cyclone V SoC family handles up to 255 sources of interrupts. When a peripheral device sends its IRQ signal to the GIC, then the GIC can forward a corresponding IRQ signal to one or both of the A9 cores. So ware code that is running on the A9 core can then query the GIC to determine which peripheral device caused the interrupt, and take appropriate ac on.

The ARM Cortex-A9 has several main modes of opera on and the opera ng mode of the processor is indicated in the current processor status register CPSR. In this Lab, we only use IRQ mode. A Cortex-A9 processor enters IRQ mode in response to receiving an IRQ signal from the GIC. Before such interrupts can be used, so ware code has to perform a number of steps:

1. Ensure that IRQ interrupts are disabled in the A9 processor, by se ng the IRQ disable bit in the CPSR to 1.

2. Configure the GIC. Interrupts for each I/O peripheral device that is connected to the GIC are iden fied by a unique interrupt ID.
3. Configure each I/O peripheral device so that it can send IRQ interrupt requests to the

GIC.

4. Enable IRQ interrupts in the A9 processor, by se ng the IRQ disable bit in the CPSR to 0.

 

/
An example assembly language program is given below. This program demonstrates use of interrupts with assembly language code. The program responds to interrupts from the pushbu on KEY port in the FPGA. The interrupt service rou ne for the pushbu on KEYs indicates which KEY has been pressed on the HEX0 display. You can use this code as a template when using interrupts in ARM Cortex-A9 processor.

First, you need to add the following lines at the beginning of your assembly code to Ini alize the excep on vector table. Within the table, one word is allocated to each of the various excep on types. This word contains branch instruc ons to the address of the relevant excep on handlers.

 

.section .vectors, “ax”

• _start

• SERVICE_UND// undefined instruction vector

• SERVICE_SVC// software interrupt vector

• SERVICE_ABT_INST // aborted prefetch vector

• SERVICE_ABT_DATA // aborted data vector

.word 0 // unused vector

B SERVICE_IRQ // IRQ interrupt vector

B SERVICE_FIQ // FIQ interrupt vector

 

Then, add the following to configure the interrupt rou ne. Note that the processor’s modes have their own stack pointers and link registers (seed fig 3 in “Using the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller” document). As a minimum, you must assign ini al values to the stack pointers of any execu on modes that are used by your applica on. In our case, when an interrupt occurs, the processor enters the IRQ mode. Therefore, we must assign an ini al value to the IRQ mode stack pointer. Usually, interrupts are expected to be executed as fast as possible. As a result, on-chip memories are used in IRQ mode. The following code shows how to set the stack to the A9 on-chip memory in IRQ mode.

IDLE:

B IDLE // This is where you write your objective task

 

Then, you need to define the excep on service rou nes using the following:

/* To Do: Check which interrupt has occurred (check interrupt IDs)

EXIT_IRQ:

POP {R0-R7, LR}

SUBS PC, LR, #4

Then you are required to add the following to configure the Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC):

Then use the pushbu on Interrupt Service Rou ne (ISR) given below. This rou ne checks which KEY has been pressed and writes corresponding index to the HEX0 display:

Interrupt based stopwatch!

Before a emp ng this sec on, get familiarized with the relevant documenta on sec ons provided in the introduc on.

Modify the stopwatch applica on from the previous sec on to use interrupts. In par cular, enable interrupts for the ARM A9 private mer (ID: 29) used to count me for the stopwatch. Also enable interrupts for the pushbu ons (ID: 73), and determine which key was pressed when a pushbu on interrupt is received.

In summary, you need to modify some parts of the given template to perform this task:

_start: ac vate the interrupts for pushbu ons and ARM A9 private mer by calling the subrou nes you wrote in the previous tasks (Call enable_PB_INT_ASM and ARM_TIM_config_ASM subrou nes)

IDLE: You will describe the stopwatch func on here.

 

/
SERVICE_IRQ: modify this part so that the IRQ handler checks both ARM A9 private mer and pushbu ons interrupts and calls the corresponding interrupt service rou ne

(ISR). Hint: The given template only checks the pushbu ons interrupt and calls its ISR (KEY_ISR). Use labels KEY_ISR and ARM_TIM_ISR for pushbu ons and ARM A9 private

mer interrupt service rou nes, respec vely.

CONFIG_GIC: The given CONFIG_GIC subrou ne only configures the pushbu ons interrupt. You must modify this subrou ne to configure the ARM A9 private mer and pushbu ons interrupts by passing the required interrupt IDs.

KEY_ISR: The given pushbu ons interrupt service rou ne (KEY_ISR) performs unnecessary func ons that are not required for this task. You must modify this part to only perform the following func ons: 1- write the content of pushbu ons edgecapture register in to the PB_int_flag memory and 2- clear the interrupts. In your main code (see IDLE), you may read the PB_int_flag memory to determine which pushbu on was pressed. Place the following code at the top of your program to designate the memory loca on:

 

PB_int_flag :

.word 0x0

 

ARM_TIM_ISR: You must write this subrou ne from the scratch and add it to your code. The subrou ne writes the value ‘1’ in to the m_int_flag memory when an interrupt is

received. Then it clears the interrupt. In your main code (see IDLE), you may read the m_int_flag memory to determine whether the mer interrupt has occurred.Use the

following code to designate the memory loca on:

 

tim_int_flag :

.word 0x0

 

Make sure you have read and understood the user manual before a emp ng this task. For instance, you may need to refer to the user manual to understand how to clear the interrupts for different interfaces (i.e., ARM A9 private mer and pushbu ons)
