3.2.10. ARM1176CT RTSM parameters

Table 3.15 lists the ARM1176JZ-S™ core tile RTSM parameters that you can change when you start the model. All listed parameters are instantiation-time parameters except for num_interrupts, which is a run time parameter. This core tile RTSM is based on r0p4 of the ARM1176JZ-S processor.

The syntax to use in a configuration file is:

coretile.core.parameter=value

Table 3.15. ARM1176CT RTSM parameters

ParameterDescriptionTypeValuesDefault
BIGENDINITInitialize to ARMv5 big endian mode.booleantrue/falsefalse
CP15SDISABLEInitialize to disable access to some CP15 registers.booleantrue/falsefalse
INITRAMInitialize with ITCM0 enabled at address 0x0.booleantrue/falsefalse
UBITINITInitialize to ARMv6 unaligned behavior.booleantrue/falsefalse
VINITHIInitialize with high vectors enabled.booleantrue/falsefalse
itcm0_sizeSize of ITCM in KB.integer0x00 - 0x400x10
dtcm0_sizeSize of DTCM in KB.integer0x00 - 0x400x10
semihosting-cmd_lineCommand line available to semihosting SVC calls.stringno limit except memory[empty string]
semihosting-debug[1]Enable debug output of semihosting SVC calls.booleantrue/falsefalse
semihosting-enableEnable semihosting SVC traps.booleantrue/falsetrue
semihosting-ARM_SVCARM SVC number for semihosting.integer24 bit integer0x123456
semihosting-Thumb_SVCThumb SVC number for semihosting.integer8 bit integer0xAB
semihosting-heap_baseVirtual address of heap base.integer0x00000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF0x0
semihosting-heap_limitVirtual address of top of heap.integer0x00000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF0x0F000000
semihosting-stack_baseVirtual address of base of descending stack.integer0x00000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF0x10000000
semihosting-stack_limitVirtual address of stack limit.integer0x00000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF0x0F0000000
vfp-enable_at_reset[2]Enable coprocessor access and VFP at reset.booleantrue/falsefalse
vfp-presentconfigure processor as VFP enabled[3]booleantrue/falsetrue

[1] Currently ignored.

[2] This is model specific behavior with no hardware equivalent.

[3] This parameter lets you disable the VFP features of the model. However the model has not been validated as a true ARM1176JZ-S processor.


The ARM1176 core tile RTSM also includes a GIC but this cannot be configured at instantiation time.
