## 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
1. Verify address translation algorithms match specification
2. Validate error handling for invalid TLB entries
3. Confirm MSI Relay Unit interrupt delivery mechanism
4. Ensure proper AxUSER field mapping
5. Validate register access and configuration interfaces
6. 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.

**Known Findings Documented in Directed Tests:**
1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **Address Passthrough (SII):** Same issue as MSI relay for SII config register access.
4. **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.
5. **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.
6. **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).
7. **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.
8. **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`; (c) 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.

## 2. Test Environment
### 2.1 Testbench Structure
> **Updated Feb 2026:** The testbench now uses `scml2::testing::initiator_socket_proxy` for DUT output ports with custom `sparse_backing_memory` (std::map-based) for cross-socket data verification. DUT output ports are `tlm_utils::simple_initiator_socket<64>` types.
