TPLD2001: Simulation: Are User Registers visible?

Bruce McKenney

Part Number: TPLD2001

I'm using TPLD-ICS [Rev 1.7.4+1396] to simulate the TPLD2001.

Are the User Registers visible somewhere? I haven't succeeded in finding them, and they aren't mentioned in the User Guide.

[It would be nice to see all the Config registers, but the User Registers are my interest at the moment.]

[Edit: Changed product name to one that doesn't shout so loud.]

Hi Bruce,

The user registers should be in the datasheet, page 97:

Best,

Malcolm

Thanks for the response.

How do I see them in the simulator?

There's no way to simulate these. The simulator is a SPICE-based simulator, so we can't simulate any of the I2C or SPI functionality.

If you mean just viewing them in the tool (ICS) in general, there's not a specific page that lets you view all the registers. When you create a macrocell like a DFF or Counter, you just need to look at the bottom of the page for what the "DEVICE MACROCELL ALLOCATED" is, and that will indicate what the appropriate user register should be.

OK. I had imagined being able to e.g. simulate for 10usec then (when I don't see the waveforms I expect) look at e.g. register 50h to see whether the SM is in the state I expect.

It sounds as though that can't be done -- fair enough.

Thanks!
