Versatile Express Model: Platform and Components
6.6 Other VE model components
This section briefly describes the purpose of selected additional components included with the
VE model platform model.
6.6.1 VEConnector and VESocket components
The VEConnector and VESocket components are used to forward Interrupts, CLK and PVBus
transactions between the VEBaseboard and the CoreTile. As their names indicate, the two
components emulate the connections in a CoreTile to the VE model.
6.6.2 VEInterruptForwarder component
The VEInterruptForwarder component is an assistant component for VESocket.
VEInterruptForwarder receives all interrupts and is responsible for telling the socket which
interrupt happened.
6.6.3 VERemapper component
The VERemapper component is a control component involved with remapping logic on the VE
model. The component receives the remap_clear signal from the SP810_SysCtrl component
and boot_switch value from the VE_SysReg component to determine which devices are to be
remapped and unremapped. See VE_SysRegs component on page 6-13. The SP810_SysCtrl
component is described in Chapter 5 Peripheral and Interface Components.
