1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This testplan defines comprehensive test cases for verifying the SystemC/TLM2.0 implementation of:

Inbound TLBs (TLBSysIn0, TLBAppIn0, TLBAppIn1)
Outbound TLBs (TLBSysOut0, TLBAppOut0, TLBAppOut1)
MSI Relay Unit
Intra-Tile Fabric Switches (NOC-PCIE, NOC-IO, SMN-IO)
System Information Interface (SII) Block
Configuration Register Block
Clock & Reset Control Module
PLL/CGM (Clock Generation Module)
PCIE PHY Model
External Interface Modules (NOC-N, SMN-N)
Top-Level Keraunos PCIE Tile Integration

1.2 Scope

This testplan covers:

Functional correctness of address translation
Register access and configuration
Error handling and edge cases
MSI interrupt delivery
Switch routing and address decoding
Clock and reset sequences
Isolation and timeout handling
Integration scenarios
Performance and stress testing

1.3 Test Objectives

Verify address translation algorithms match specification
Validate error handling for invalid TLB entries
Confirm MSI Relay Unit interrupt delivery mechanism
Ensure proper AxUSER field mapping
Validate register access and configuration interfaces
Test integration with intra-tile fabric

1.4 TLB Translation and Sys In/Out (Reference)

Translation formula (all TLBs): page_mask = (1ULL << page_shift) - 1;
translated_addr = ((entry.addr << 12) & ~page_mask) | (input_addr & page_mask).
Base is page-aligned; offset is taken from the input address within the page.
TLB Sys In0: Route 0x4 → SMN (system path). Lookup is not gated by system_ready; only bypass paths (route 0x8, 0x9) are gated by system_ready.
TLB Sys Out0: System outbound (SMN-N → PCIe DBI). 64KB pages, 16 entries.

1.5 References

Known Findings Documented in Directed Tests:

Address Passthrough (TLB Config): TLB process_config_access() uses the full SMN address as an offset into a 4KB SCML2 memory. Only entry 0 at the base of each 64KB config range fits; entries 1+ exceed memory bounds. Fix: strip base address before memory access.
Address Passthrough (MSI Relay): MSI relay process_msi_input() and process_csr_access() receive full addresses from switches, preventing register matching. Fix: strip base address.
Address Passthrough (SII): Same issue as MSI relay for SII config register access.
Signal Propagation (RESOLVED): sc_signal writes require delta cycles to propagate in SystemC. This is now handled by calling sc_core::wait(sc_core::SC_ZERO_TIME) after signal writes to advance delta cycles. Tests that use this technique directly verify isolation blocking, interrupt signal forwarding (FLR, hot reset, RAS, DMA, misc), cold/warm reset signal cycling, and CII input propagation.
Config Register Block: SMN-IO switch range 0x18000000-0x18100000 returns TLM_OK_RESPONSE without forwarding to the ConfigRegBlock callback. Config register reads/writes via SMN have no effect on internal state.
Isolation Enable Recovery: ConfigRegBlock::set_isolate_req(true) clears system_ready, pcie_inbound_app_enable, and pcie_outbound_app_enable. set_isolate_req(false) only clears the isolate_req_ flag but does NOT restore the enables. Cold reset also does not restore enables (no reset handler). This means the DUT cannot recover from isolation without external software reconfiguration, which is not possible in the current test environment (SMN-IO switch absorbs config writes).
CII Processing (RESOLVED): The SII block’s CII tracking, CDC synchronization, and interrupt generation logic has been restored via the SiiBlock::update() method. This single method replaces the three SC_METHODs from the backup_original (cii_tracking_process, cfg_modified_update_process, cdc_pcie_to_apb). CII config-space write detection (type 0x04, first 128B), cfg_modified bitmask accumulation with RW1C clear support, and config_update interrupt assertion are all functional. The tile’s signal_update_process calls sii_block_->update() between setters and getters to process CII inputs each delta cycle.
MSI Relay Interrupt Output Not Verifiable: The MSI relay’s interrupt output path cannot be fully exercised because: (a) process_msi_input requires offset==0 but receives the full NOC-IO address 0x18800000 (address passthrough), so PBA bits are never set; (b) msix_enable_ is an internal sc_signal (not exposed as a tile port), defaulting to false; © per-vector masks default to true (masked) and cannot be cleared via SMN CSR writes (address passthrough). The MSI routing paths, PBA read, and global mask configuration paths are exercised in tests TC_MSI_RELAY_012/013/014, which document the specific address passthrough offsets and verify system stability.
