Region 1<br />

sdrc-009<br />

Region 0 (default region containing the whole memory space): Level 0<br />

Region 1 (allows dynamic reprogramming of regions): Level 2<br />

Regions 2-7 (protection regions): Level 1<br />

Region 1 has the highest priority to perform dynamic masking of other already-programmed regions when<br />

they are reprogrammed.<br />

Overlapping regions of the same priority level is forbidden and results in a violation when an access to the<br />

concerned region occurs. This violation is reported in the error-log register. Priority-level handling is done<br />

in the hardware; it does not involve any specific software development.<br />

All transactions are checked, including those the RE has processed.<br />

When detecting a violation on an incoming request, the SMS respects the response ordering within the<br />

faulty thread.<br />

A violation flag is raised internally and the MThreadID field is logged. Generation of the interconnect error<br />

response is then local to the SMS; the response buffer must be used to manage the potential response<br />

collision with regular SDRC responses.<br />
