## Function Documentation

uint32 XAieSim_GetStackRange | ( | uint8 * | MapPtr,
|  | XAieSim_StackSz * | StackSzPtr
| ) |  |

This is the routine to derive the stack start and end addresses from the specified map file.

This function basically looks for the line <init_address>..<final_address> ( <num> items) : Stack in the map file to derive the stack address range.

Parameters

  MapPtr,: | Path to the Map file.
  StackSzPtr,: | Pointer to the stack range structure.

Returns
  XAIESIM_SUCCESS on success, else XAIESIM_FAILURE.

Note
  None.

uint64_t XAieSim_GetTargetTileAddr | ( | XAieSim_Tile * | TileInstPtr,
|  | uint32 | ShAddr
| ) |  |

This routine is used to get the actual tile data memory address based on the section's loadable address.

The actual tile address is derived from the cardinal direction the secton's loadable address points to.

Parameters

  TileInstPtr | - Pointer to the Tile instance structure.
  ShAddr,: | Section's loadable address.

Returns
  32-bit target tile address.

Note
  None.

uint32 XAieSim_LoadElf | ( | XAieSim_Tile * | TileInstPtr,
|  | uint8 * | ElfPtr,
|  | uint8 | LoadSym
| ) |  |

This is the API to load the specified ELF to the target AIE Tile program memory followed by clearing of the BSS sections.

Parameters

  TileInstPtr | - Pointer to the Tile instance structure.
  ElfPtr,: | Path to the ELF file to be loaded into memory.

Returns
  XAIESIM_SUCCESS on success, else XAIESIM_FAILURE.

Note
  None.

uint32 XAieSim_LoadElfMem | ( | XAieSim_Tile * | TileInstPtr,
|  | uint8 * | ElfPtr,
|  | uint8 | LoadSym
| ) |  |

This is the API to load the specified ELF to the target AIE Tile program memory followed by clearing of the BSS sections.

Parameters

  TileInstPtr | - Pointer to the Tile instance structure.
  ElfPtr,: | Path to the ELF memory

Returns
  XAIESIM_SUCCESS on success, else XAIESIM_FAILURE.

Note
  None.

void XAieSim_LoadSymbols | ( | XAieSim_Tile * | TileInstPtr,
|  | uint8 * | ElfPtr
| ) |  |

This routine sends the out of bound command to the sim to load symbols.

Parameters

  TileInstPtr | - Pointer to the Tile instance structure.
  ElfPtr,: | Path to the ELF file.

Returns
  None.

Note
  None.

void XAieSim_WriteSection | ( | XAieSim_Tile * | TileInstPtr,
|  | uint8 * | SectName,
|  | Elf32_Shdr * | SectPtr,
|  | FILE * | Fd
| ) |  |

This routine is used to write to the specified section by reading the corresponding data from the ELF file.

Parameters

  TileInstPtr,: | Pointer to the Tile instance structure.
  SectName,: | Name of the section.
  SectPtr,: | Poiner to the section entry in the ELF file.
  Fd,: | Pointer to the ELF file.

Returns
  None.

Note
  None.
