I'd like to connect a relatively large number of cores (thus SRIO sockets) using the SRIO Driver (for 6678).
I can see that all device IDs that can potentially be attached to must be specified by TLM Port BRR's -- but if I use each BRR to be an exact match, then I could only connect up to 16 devices (4 ports x 4 BRRs).
I can see that there's a pattern match, but I am thoroughly confused about how to use it the way that suits my purpose. I believe I could come up with multiple device IDs that could match a pattern (I'm familiar with how masking works), but a quick example would save me a headache.
My main concern is: Is the pattern matching used for anything besides registering Device IDs? In particular, are incoming packets judged using the BRRs or does it use specific IDs.
For example, if I used a pattern that didn't match all bits so that 4 unique deviceIDs satisfied the pattern, would a message incoming from 1 of those 4 be coming from "the single unique deviceID" or "one of the device IDs that matched the pattern, regardless of which exact device was the sender"? If it's the first case, then I guess I'm fine. If it's the second case, does the Srio_SockAddrInfo argument of Srio_sockRecv() contain the unique DeviceID?
