    Subject: [openrisc] How to understand tc_top.v
    Top
    I'm not aware of any documentation for the ORP stuff. Here is some
    information about the TC module and its use in the ORP, I hope you
    find it helpful.

    If anyone sees any mistakes in here, please feel free to correct them,
    it's been a while since I've used this stuff.

    The tc_top.v module is the Traffic Cop and is basically responsible
    for directing traffic on the Wishbone bus (not just a clever name,
    eh?). It allows 8 Wishbone initiators (master s) and 9 Wishbone
    targets (slaves). Arbitration for multiple initiator access is
    performed based on Initiator priority (no round robin or anything like
    that). Initiator 0 has highest priority and initiator 7 has the
    lowest.

    The TC actually has a separate data path for its 8 initiators to
    access target 0, and another data path for the 8 initiators to access
    targets 1 - 8. So even when target 0 is being accessed, targets 1-8
    are still accessible.

    In the case of the ORP, the VGA controller is connected to target 0
    since it receives a high-level of traffic, I assume, and would
    otherwise starve the Wishbone bus of cycles for other interesting
    peripherals (such as memory or Ethernet).

    In the ORP xsv_fpga_top.v module, the Wishbone bus addressing is as follows.

    Target 0 0x00000000 - 0x00ffffff (16M)
    Target 1 0x04000000 - 0x04ffffff (16M)
    Target 2 0x97000000 - 0x97ffffff (16M)
    Target 3 0x92000000 - 0x92ffffff (16M)
    Target 4 0x9d000000 - 0x9dffffff (16M)
    Target 5 0x90000000 - 0x9fffffff (16M)
    Target 6 0x94000000 - 0x94ffffff (16M)
    Target 7 0x9e000000 - 0x9effffff (16M)
    Target 8 0x9f000000 - 0x9fffffff (16M)
