@cindex @samp{QMemTags} packet
|
||||
Store memory tags of type @var{type} to the address range
|
||||
@w{@r{[}@var{start address}, @var{start address} + @var{length}@r{)}}. The
|
||||
target is responsible for interpreting the type, the tag bytes and modifying
|
||||
the memory tag granules accordingly, given this is architecture-specific.
|
||||
|
||||
The interpretation of how many tags (@var{nt}) should be written to how many
|
||||
memory tag granules (@var{ng}) is also architecture-specific. The behavior is
|
||||
implementation-specific, but the following is suggested.
|
||||
|
||||
If the number of memory tags, @var{nt}, is greater than or equal to the
|
||||
number of memory tag granules, @var{ng}, only @var{ng} tags will be
|
||||
stored.
|
||||
|
||||
If @var{nt} is less than @var{ng}, the behavior is that of a fill operation,
|
||||
and the tag bytes will be used as a pattern that will get repeated until
|
||||
@var{ng} tags are stored.
|
||||
|
||||
@var{start address} is the starting address of the memory range. The address
|
||||
does not have any restriction on alignment or size.
|
||||
|
||||
@var{length} is the length, in bytes, of the memory range.
|
||||
|
||||
@var{type} is the type of tag the request wants to fetch. The type is a signed
|
||||
integer.
|
||||
|
||||
@var{tag bytes} is a sequence of hex encoded uninterpreted bytes which will be
|
||||
interpreted by the target. Each pair of hex digits is interpreted as a
|
||||
single byte.
