PCIe Data Plane Demo Using MSS HPDMA

2.1 Introduction
This demo describes the usage of the following embedded features of the SmartFusion2 devices:

• PCIe controller
• High-performance DMA controller
• DDR controller

The demo uses all of these embedded features and limited FPGA resources. This demo architecture is resource and power efficient, but does not demonstrate the highest  performance of the PCIe link.
This demo explains the SmartFusion2 embedded PCI Express feature and how can it be used as a data plane interface using the SmartFusion2 Security Evaluation Kit. The  demo design is a simple design that enables you to access the PCIe end point (EP) available in the SmartFusion2 device from a PC to initiate the DMA transactions using the  PCIe interface. In this demo, SmartFusion2 High-performance DMA (HPDMA) controller has been used to perform DMA transfers. A host PC Pie application is provided for setting up and initiating DMA transactions from SmartFusion2 PCIe end point to host PC.
The demo also provides host PC device drivers for the SmartFusion2 PCIe Endpoint. This demo is built on top of the PCIe Control Plane demo. Refer to the UG0456:  SmartFusion2 PCIe Control Plane Demo User Guide for more information on PCIe Control Plane demo. Micro semi® provides the following three different PCIe data plane  demos for the SmartFusion2 devices:

• PCIe Data Plane Demo using MSS HPDMA: This demo explains the low throughput data transfer between PCIe and double data rate (DDR).
• DG0535: SmartFusion2 PCIe Data Plane Demo using MSS HPDMA and SMC_FIC: This demo provides the medium throughput data transfer between PCIe and  embedded static random access memory (Seram).
• DG0517: SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 PCIe Data Plane Demo using 2 Channel Fabric DMA: This demo describes the high throughput data transfer between PCIe and large SRAM (LSRAM).

The high-speed serial interface available in SmartFusion2 devices provide a fully hardened PCIe EP implementation and is compliant to the PCIe Base Specification  Revision 2.0 and 1.1. For more information, refer to the UG0447: IGLOO2 and SmartFusion2 High Speed Serial Interfaces User Guide.

2.3.3 Demo Design Description
The PCIe link is configured at GEN2 rate and four lanes and is capable of throughputs greater than 320 Mbps. In this demo, the MSS using an AHB 32-bit data bus and  clock rate of 80 MHz reduces the throughput of a PCIe link to the throughput of the MSS.
There are four different types of data transfers that this demo design supports. The following sections describe the process of each data transfer. Notes are provided to assist  you with methods to increase system performance.
2.3.3.1 PC Memory to LPDDR
A data transfer from PC memory to the LPDDR device happens in the following sequence of steps:

1. HPDMA is setup over the PCIe link based on the settings in the GUI.
2. HPDMA initiates an AHB read transaction through the MSS fabric interface (FIC) and to the PCIe AHB interface.
3. The PCIe core sends a memory read (MEd) transaction layer packets (TLP) to the host PC.
4. The host PC returns with a completion with data (CplD) TLP to the PCIe link.
5. This return data completes the AHB read initiated by HPDMA controller.
6. This data is then written to the LPDDR controller.
7. HPDMA repeats this process until the transfer size set in the host PC GUI is completed. For transfers that require more than a single pass through the four buffer  descriptors of HPDMA, the Cortex-M3 is used to reset the buffer descriptors and re-start the transfer process.

This read operation is effective, but not optimal for a PCIe link since the AHB bus of the MSS does not support a split-transaction.
Note: For optimal data transfers from PC memory to LPDDR, you are advised to use the AXI interface of the PCIe link and a fabric-based DMA controller. The AXI  supports split transactions and allows the PCIe link to send a larger read request. While waiting for the read request, the AXI bus can move on to the next transaction.  Multiple read requests can be initiated that allow the PCIe link to operate efficiently with read completion data returning.

2.3.3.2 LPDDR to PC Memory
A data transfer from the LPDDR device to PC memory happens in the following sequence of steps:

1. HPDMA is setup over the PCIe link based on the settings in the GUI.
2. HPDMA initiates an AHB read transaction of the LPDDR through the DDR controller of the MSS.
3. The data is written to the PCIe core as an AHB write transaction through the FIC.
4. The PCIe core sends a memory write (MW) TLP to the host PC.
5. HPDMA repeats this process until the transfer size set in the host PC GUI is completed. For transfers that require more than a single pass through the four buffer  descriptors of HPDMA, the Cortex-M3 is used to reset the buffer descriptors and re-start the transfer process.

This write operation is effective, but not optimal for a PCIe link since the AHB bus of the MSS does not support a burst capability to send larger MW TLPs across the PCIe link which is more efficient.
Note: For optimal data transfers from LPDDR to PC memory, you are advised to use the AXI interface of the PCIe link and a fabric-based DMA controller. The AXI  interface supports burst transfers to send larger MW TLPs. The maximum TLP size supported by the PCIe core is 1 KB. This reduces the overhead of a single TLP and increases the overall efficiency of the link.

2.3.3.3 LPDDR to Fabric SRAM Block
The FPGA design of this demo contains a 128 KB fabric SRAM block. Data transfer from the LPDDR device to fabric SRAM happens in the following sequence of steps:

1. HPDMA is setup over the PCIe link based on the settings in the GUI.
2. HPDMA initiates an AHB read transaction of the LPDDR through the DDR controller of the MSS.
3. The data is written to the fabric SRAM as an AHB write transaction through the FIC.
4. HPDMA repeats this process until the transfer size set in the host PC GUI is completed. For transfers that require more than a single pass through the four buffer  descriptors of HPDMA, the Cortex-M3 is used to reset the buffer descriptors and re-start the transfer process.

2.3.3.4 Fabric SRAM to LPDDR
A data transfer from the fabric SRAM to the LPDDR device happens in the following sequence of steps:

1. HPDMA is setup over the PCIe link based on the settings in the GUI.
2. HPDMA initiates an AHB read transaction through the MSS fabric interface (FIC) and to the fabric SRAM.
3. This data is written to the LPDDR controller.
4. HPDMA repeats this process until the transfer size set in the host PC GUI is completed. For transfers that require more than a single pass through the four buffer  descriptors of HPDMA, the Cortex-M3 is used to reset the buffer descriptors and re-start the transfer process.

The Cortex-M3 processor initializes the HPDMA controller after receiving instructions from the PCIe demo application through the PCIe interface to perform DMA  transactions between DDR, LSRAM, and the host PC. MSS timer_0 is started after initializing HPDMA and stopped on HPDMA interrupt. The timer gives the number of  cycles taken to complete the data transfer. The GUI reads this value and calculates the throughput that is displayed in the application. HPDMA also interrupts the host PC application through the PCIe interface after completion of data transfer. The driver on the host PC creates a buffer and passes the physical address of that buffer to the  SmartFusion2 device. HPDMA uses this address to perform the DMA transfers to host PC. The following options are available in the application for the DMA data transactions:

• Data transaction direction:

• LPDDR to host PC
  In this DMA transfer, HPDMA reads the data from external LPDDR memory through MDDR and writes to host PC buffer through FIC_0 and PCIe.

• Host PC to LPDDR
  In this DMA transfer, HPDMA reads the data from host PC buffer through FIC_0 and PCIe and writes to external LPDDR memory through MDDR.

• Fabric LSRAM to LPDDR
  In this DMA transfer, HPDMA reads the data from Fabric LSRAM through FIC_0 and writes to external LPDDR memory through MDDR.

• LPDDR to Fabric LSRAM
  In this DMA transfer, HPDMA reads the data from external LPDDR memory through MDDR and writes to Fabric LSRAM through FIC_0. The Cortex-M3 processor initializes HPDMA according to the direction of transfer.

• DMA size:
  For DMA to host PC, transfers can be selected from 64 KB to 1 MB. For DMA to LSRAM, transfers can be selected from 16 KB to 128 KB. HPDMA has four buffer descriptors and a single channel.
  Each buffer descriptor can perform 64 KB transfers at a time. These buffer descriptors can be initialized at a time so that the HPDMA queues the DMA operations, that  s, 256 KB of data transfers can be done with a single initialization of HPDMA. For doing 1 MB data transfers, HPDMA is reinitialized for every 256 KB.

• Burst size of this demo is fixed to 4 bytes. The AHB interface of the MSS does not support burst therefore the PCIe TLPs only contain the 4 bytes as part of a single 32-bit AHB transaction.

• Continuous transfers: The DMA transfers can be done in a loop to observe the throughput changes.

• Blink LEDs from Cortex-M3 and from host PC. This option can be selected in parallel to the DMA transfers.
