Summary

In this chapter, we added a few hardware elements to the ETS SoC design to prepare it for hosting an embedded OS and improved the IPC communication between the Cortex-A9 CPU and the MicroBlaze PP. We also delved into the system performance analysis by first providing a detailed sequencing diagram of the IPC mechanism and then using it as a base to perform a quantitative study. We have used time estimates to measure how long the IPC communication associated with a received Ethernet frame to filter by the PL logic would cost. We found that a significant amount of time is needed to provide the information for moving the data and its associated descriptors from the PS domain to the PL domain. We studied the case of the IPC mechanism when using the PS AXI GP port and then studied the alternative solution of using the ACP port of the Cortex-A9. We have also exposed the issues of using cacheable memory in these scenarios and how this will require cache management operations when not...
