Detailed Description

N64 bootup and cache interfaces.

The N64 system interface provides a way for code to interact with the memory setup on the system. This includes cache operations to invalidate or flush regions and the ability to set the boot CIC. The newlib Interface Hooks use the knowledge of the boot CIC to properly determine if the expansion pak is present, giving 4 MiB of additional memory. Aside from this, the MIPS r4300 uses a manual cache management strategy, where SW that requires passing buffers to and from hardware components using DMA controllers needs to ensure that cache and RDRAM are in sync. A set of operations to invalidate and/or write back cache is provided for both instruction cache and data cache.

A void pointer to the cached memory address in RAM

◆ PhysicalAddr

#define PhysicalAddr (   _addr)
Value:
({ \
const volatile void *_addrp = (_addr); \
(((unsigned long)(_addrp))&~0xE0000000); \
})

Return the physical memory address for a given address.

Parameters
[in]_addrAddress in RAM to convert to a physical address
Returns
A void pointer to the physical memory address in RAM

◆ MEMORY_BARRIER

#define MEMORY_BARRIER ( )    asm volatile ("" : : : "memory")

Memory barrier to ensure in-order execution.

Since GCC seems to reorder volatile at -O2, a memory barrier is required to ensure that DMA setup is done in the correct order. Otherwise, the library is useless at higher optimization levels.

◆ TICKS_READ

#define TICKS_READ ( )    C0_COUNT()

Returns the COP0 register $9 (count).

The coprocessor 0 (system control coprocessor - COP0) register $9 is incremented at "half maximum instruction issue rate" which is the processor clock speed (93.75MHz) divided by two. (also see TICKS_PER_SECOND) It will always produce a 32-bit unsigned value which overflows back to zero in 91.625 seconds. The counter will increment irrespective of instructions actually being executed. This macro is for reading that value. Do not use for comparison without special handling.

◆ TICKS_PER_SECOND

#define TICKS_PER_SECOND   (CPU_FREQUENCY/2)

Number of updates to the count register per second.

Every second, this many counts will have passed in the count register

◆ TICKS_DISTANCE

#define TICKS_DISTANCE (   from,
  to 
)    ((int32_t)((uint32_t)(to) - (uint32_t)(from)))

The signed difference of time between "from" and "to".

If "from" is before "to", the distance in time is positive, otherwise it is negative.

◆ TICKS_BEFORE

#define TICKS_BEFORE (   t1,
  t2 
)    ({ TICKS_DISTANCE(t1, t2) > 0; })

Returns true if "t1" is before "t2".

This is similar to t1 < t2, but it correctly handles timer overflows which are very frequent. Notice that the N64 counter overflows every ~91 seconds, so it's not possible to compare times that are more than ~45 seconds apart.

◆ data_cache_hit_invalidate

#define data_cache_hit_invalidate (   addr_,
  sz_ 
)
Value:
({ \
void *addr = (addr_); unsigned long sz = (sz_); \
assert(((uint32_t)addr % 16) == 0 && (sz % 16) == 0); \
__data_cache_hit_invalidate(addr, sz); \
})

Force a data cache invalidate over a memory region.

Use this to force the N64 to update cache from RDRAM.

The cache is made by cachelines of 16 bytes. If a memory region is invalidated and the memory region is not fully aligned to cachelines, a larger area than that requested will be invalidated; depending on the arrangement of the data segments and/or heap, this might make data previously written by the CPU in regular memory locations to be unexpectedly discarded, causing bugs.

For this reason, this function must only be called with an address aligned to 16 bytes, and with a length which is an exact multiple of 16 bytes; it will assert otherwise.

As an alternative, consider using data_cache_hit_writeback_invalidate, that first writebacks the affected cachelines to RDRAM, guaranteeing integrity of memory areas that share cachelines with the region that must be invalidated.

Parameters
[in]addr_Pointer to memory in question
[in]sz_Length in bytes of the data pointed at by addr

This function allocates a memory buffer that can be safely read and written through uncached memory accesses only. It makes sure that that the buffer does not share any cacheline with other buffers in the heap, and returns a pointer in the uncached segment (0xA0000000).

The buffer contents are uninitialized.

a pointer to the start of the buffer (in the uncached segment)
