Carbon UART PL011 Model User Guide for SoC Designer

Chapter 1Using the Model Kit Component inSoC Designer PlusThis chapter describes the functionality of the Model component, and how to use it in CarbonSoC Designer Plus. It contains the following sections:• PL011 UART Model Functionality• Adding and Configuring the SoC Designer Plus Component• Available Component ESL Ports• Setting Component Parameters• Debug Features• Available Profiling Data1.1 PL011 UART Model FunctionalityThe PrimeCell UART is an AMBA compliant System-on-Chip peripheral. The UART isan AMBA slave module that connects to the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). This modelsupports data transfer in both receive and transmit direction via a transaction port.This section provides a summary of the functionality of the model compared to that of thehardware, and the performance and accuracy of the model. For details of the functionalityof the hardware that the model simulates, refer to the ARM PrimeCell UART (PL011)Technical Reference Manual.• Fully Functional and Accurate Features• Fully Functional and Approximate Features• Hardware Features not Implemented• Features Additional to the Hardware• Differences from the ARM RVML ModelCarbon Design Systems, Inc.
