axipmon Documentation

The XAxiPmon driver supports the Xilinx AXI Performance Monitor device.The AXI Performance Monitor device provides following features:

      Configurable number of Metric Counters and Incrementers
        Computes performance metrics for Agents connected to
      monitor slots (Up to 8 slots)

The following Metrics can be computed:

Metrics computed for an AXI4 MM agent: Write Request Count: Total number of write requests by/to the agent. Read Request Count: Total number of read requests given by/to the agent. Read Latency: It is defined as the time from the start of read address transaction to the beginning of the read data service. Write Latency: It is defined as the period needed a master completes write data transaction, i.e. from write address transaction to write response from slave. Write Byte Count: Total number of bytes written by/to the agent. This metric is helpful when calculating the throughput of the system. Read Byte Count: Total number of bytes read from/by the agent. Average Write Latency: Average write latency seen by the agent. It can be derived from total write latency and the write request count. Average Read Latency: Average read latency seen by the agent. It can be derived from total read latency and the read request count. Master Write Idle Cycle Count: Number of idle cycles caused by the masters during write transactions to the slave. Slave Write Idle Cycle Count: Number of idle cycles caused by this slave during write transactions to the slave. Master Read Idle Cycle Count: Number of idle cycles caused by the master during read transactions to the slave. Slave Read Idle Cycle Count: Number of idle cycles caused by this slave during read transactions to the slave.

Metrics computed for an AXI4-Stream agent:

      Transfer Cycle Count: Total number of writes by/to the agent.
      Data Byte Count: Total number of data bytes written by/to the agent.
                 This metric helps in calculating the throughput
                 of the system.
      Position Byte Count: Total number of position bytes transferred.
      Null Byte Count: Total number of null bytes transferred.
      Packet Count: Total number of packets transferred.

There are three modes : Advanced, Profile and Trace.

- Advanced mode has 10 Mertic Counters, Sampled Metric Counters, Incrementors and Sampled Incrementors.
- Profile mode has only 47 Metric Counters and Sampled Metric Counters.
- Trace mode has no Counters. User should refer to the hardware device specification for detailed information about the device.

This header file contains the prototypes of driver functions that can be used to access the AXI Performance Monitor device.

Initialization and Configuration

The device driver enables higher layer software (e.g., an application) to communicate to the AXI Performance Monitor device.

XAxiPmon_CfgInitialize() API is used to initialize the AXI Performance Monitor device. The user needs to first call the XAxiPmon_LookupConfig() API which returns the Configuration structure pointer which is passed as a parameter to the XAxiPmon_CfgInitialize() API.

Interrupts

The AXI Performance Monitor does not support Interrupts

Virtual Memory

This driver supports Virtual Memory. The RTOS is responsible for calculating the correct device base address in Virtual Memory space.

Threads

This driver is not thread safe. Any needs for threads or thread mutual exclusion must be satisfied by the layer above this driver.

Asserts

Asserts are used within all Xilinx drivers to enforce constraints on argument values. Asserts can be turned off on a system-wide basis by defining, at compile time, the NDEBUG identifier. By default, asserts are turned on and it is recommended that users leave asserts on during development.

Building the driver

The XAxiPmon driver is composed of several source files. This allows the user to build and link only those parts of the driver that are necessary.

Limitations of the driver
