PL180_MCI component

This section describes the PL180_MCI component.

PL180_MCI - about

This LISA+ component is a model of the PL180 Multimedia Card Interface (MCI).

When paired with an MMC card model, the PL180_MCI component provides emulation of a flexible, persistent storage mechanism. The PL180_MMC component fully models the registers of the corresponding PrimeCell, but supports a subset of the functionality of the PL180:

  • The controller supports block mode transfers, but does not currently support streaming data transfer.
  • The controller can be attached to a single MMC device. The MMC bus mode and SDIO modes of the PL180 PrimeCell are not supported.
  • Command and Data timeouts are not simulated.
  • Payload CRC errors are not simulated.
  • The DMA interface present in the PL180 PrimeCell is not modeled.
  • Minimal timing is implemented within the model.

PL180_MCI - debug features

At compile time, you can enable command tracing within the PL180_MCI component by modifying the PL180_TRACE macro in the MMC.lisa file. This sends command and event trace to standard output. You can use this output to help diagnose device driver and controller-to-card protocol issues.

PL180_MCI - verification and testing

This component passes tests in conjunction with the ARM MMC reference model, and in the VE example with Boot Monitor and Linux drivers.
