|
||||
SIC int forwarding doesn't accurately reflect the hardware. what the sim
|
||||
does is:
|
||||
- device generates an interrupt
|
||||
- int is sent to SIC
|
||||
- SIC logs it into its ISR
|
||||
- so long as SIC's IMASK allows it, bits set in ISR generate
|
||||
an interrupt to the CEC
|
||||
- no way to clear the SIC's ISR
|
||||
the way the hardware works is that the device monitors the interrupt level and
|
||||
the SIC's ISR bits are basically hardwired from each peripheral. so when the
|
||||
device has its interrupt cleared, the bit in the SIC's ISR is automatically
|
||||
cleared as well.
|
||||
perhaps the only way to model this behavior in the sim is to have each device
|
||||
set up an event callback that sends out a port event: a level of 0 means the
|
||||
int has been ACKed and the SIC can clear its ISR while a level of 1 means the
|
||||
int is being generated still. if the device is still generating an interrupt,
|
||||
it can reschedule itself again.
|
||||
|
||||
insns that cause an interrupt don't seem to be processed at the right time.
|
||||
for example, setup a glue device that generates an interrupt upon right.
|
||||
when the store insn is executed, the interrupt is taken right away instead
|
||||
of being scheduled *after* the insn has finished executing. difference is
|
||||
that RETI needs to point to the *next* insn and not the store insn.
