Hi Ahmad,
When you instantiate the controllers you decide what physical address they
occupy (also in the case of multi-channel controllers where we use striping
between them).
If you want to control the virtual to physical mapping, I am afraid you have to
figure out a way to control the page allocation in the OS. Perhaps someone on
the list knows a sensible way of achieving this without too much Linux brain
surgery.

Subject: Re: Running two SimpleDram instances simulataniously
Thanks Andreas for the details. As I want to add a logic of which virtual
addresses should go to which memory controller (DDR3 or PCM), so I was thinking
that I would have one memory port that receives packet from the system and then
I add up logic of virtual address and call the appropriate memory controller
(DDR3 or PCM) afterwards. Do you suggest the same?
Otherwise if we add two memory controller ports to the memory bus then what
place would I add the logic of which virtual address should go to which
controller?

Thanks.
Best Regards, Ahmad

Hi Ahmad,
You can instantiate as many controller as you want, all you have to do is edit
the python files. You can either try and add it as an option to fs.py or
similar, or manually create a system in a separate .py file.
You can simply do system.ddr3_ctrl = SimpleDDR3() and system.pcm_ctrl =
SimplePCM() (you have to create the latter class). You pass the address range
as a parameter to each controller. When you connect them to the bus they will
automatically be updating the address map in the bus.
Good luck.
As a final note, please stick to the mailing list :-)

Or more simply, how would it be possible to use both "SimpleLPDDR2_S4" and
"SimpleDDR3" simultaneously. I will redirect some virtual addresses to
SimpleLPDDR2_S4 and some to SimpleDDR3.
Thanks.
