DS3134 Step-By-Step Configuration-Bridge Mode
Abstract
This application note describes an example of how to configure a single T1 port on the DS3134 HDLC controller operating in Bridge Mode. This example describes how to construct, send, receive, and check a packet in loopback mode on that port. This application note is presented as a coding example for easy adaptation to end user applications.
Overview
This application note describes an example of how to configure a single T1 port on the DS3134 operating
in Bridge Mode. Additionally, this example describes how to construct, send, receive, and check a
packet in loopback mode on that port. This application note is presented as a coding example for easy
adaptation to end user applications.
The Local Bus can operate in two modes in DS3134:
- PCI Bridge Mode
- Configuration Mode
This example has the following configuration:
- Port 1 of the DS3134 is a channelized T1 port. All other ports are not used.
- Port 1 DS0's 0-3 of the DS3134 is assigned to HDLC channel 3. All other port 1 DS0's are unsigned.
- HDLC channel 3 of the DS3134 is assigned four RX FIFO blocks, four TX FIFO blocks, an RX FIFO high water mark of 3, and a TX low water mark of 1.
- A 16-byte packet is constructed in host memory using one TX buffer, one TX descriptor and one TX pending queue entry. Since the DS3134 is in loopback mode, when the packet is transmitted it will also be received by the DS3134. The received packet is written to host memory using one RX buffer, one RX descriptor and one RX done queue entry.
- The host memory is configured as follows:
- Receive Side:
- RX free queue base address (RFQBA1/0) = 0x10000000
- RX done queue base address (RDQBA1/0) = 0x10000100
- RX descriptor base address (RDBA1/0) = 0x10000200
- RX buffer base address = 0x10001000
- Transmit Side:
- TX pending queue base address (TPQBA1/0) = 0x10000300
- TX done queue base address (TDQBA1/0) = 0x10000400
- TX descriptor base address (TDBA1/0) = 0x10000500
- TX buffer base address = 0x10002000
- Receive Side:
Definition of the Coding Example Function Calls
In order to improve readability, the code in this example uses several function calls. The definitions of these functions are as follows:
- write_reg(address, data)
- Write the specified data to the specified DS3134 register address
Inputs:
- address = the register address where data is to be written
- data = the data to be written to the specified register
Outputs: None - read_reg(address, data)
- Read the contents of the DS3134 register at the specified address
Input: address = the register address which is to be read
Output: data = the value read from the register - write_reg_IS(address, data)
- Write the specified data to the specified DS3134 indirect select register and then wait for that register's busy bit to clear before returning
Inputs:
- address = the indirect select register where data is to be written
- data = the data to be written to the specified register
Outputs: NoneFunction Code:
write_reg(address, data); bit_check = 0x8000; while (bit_check & 0x8000) read_reg(address, bit_check);

Output: data = the 32-bit data value read from host memory - frame_wait(count)
- Provides a delay equal to count number of frame periods where a frame period is 125 microseconds
Input: count = number of frame periods to wait
Outputs: None
T1 Configuration Mode Coding Example
This application note coding example consists of the following steps:
- Reset the DS3134
- Configure the DS3134
- Enable the HDLC channel
- Put the HDLC channel in loopback mode
- Queue, send, receive, and check a data packet
Reset The DS3134
Resetting the DS3134 consists of two steps. First the internal RAM's of the DS3134 must be zeroed and
then the DS3134 internal registers must be reset.
Zero The DS3134 Internal RAM's
The DS3134 internal configuration RAM's are not cleared by resetting the chip and therefore must be
manually zeroed. This task is accomplished performing a series of writes to each internal ram in the
DS3134 using the appropriate data and indirect select registers of the DS3134. This section details the
procedure for accomplishing this task.

A software reset can be performed on all registers in the DS3134 using the Master Reset Register (MRID). All internal registers will be set to a default value of 0 when bit 0 of the MRID register is set to 1. The Host must set this bit back to 0 before the device can be programmed for normal operation.

Configure The DS3134
Configuration of the DS3134 consists of the following steps:
- Configure the PCI registers
- Configure the Layer 1 registers
- Configure the HDLC registers
- Configure the FIFO registers
- Configure the DMA registers
// This example uses port 1 channel 3 port = 1; channel = 3; // RX free queue base address rfq_base_addr = 0x10000000; // RX free queue end address // - RX free queue size = 16 rfq_end_idx = 0x000F; // RX done queue base address rdq_base_addr = 0x10000100; // RX done queue end address // - RX done queue size = 16 rdq_end_idx = 0x000F; // RX descriptor base address // - RX descriptor table size = 256 rdscr_base_addr = 0x10000200; // RX data buffer base address rx_buf_base_addr = 0x10001000; // TX pending queue base address tpq_base_addr = 0x10000300; // TX pending queue end address // - TX pending queue size = 16 tpq_end_idx = 0x000F; // TX done queue base address tdq_base_addr = 0x10000400; // TX done queue end address // - TX done queue size = 16 tdq_end_idx = 0x000F; // TX descriptor base address // - TX descriptor table size = 256 tdscr_base_addr = 0x10000500; // TX data buffer base address tx_buf_base_addr = 0x10002000;Configure The PCI Registers
The PCI Bridge Mode allows the Host on the PCI Bus to access the Local Bus. The PCI Bus is used to control, monitor the DS3134 and transferred the packet data. The DS3134 will map data from the PCI Bus to the Local Bus. (Refer to the DS3134 data sheet section 10).

Each port of the DS3134 contains a layer 1 controller that performs several functions including:
- Assigning the HDLC channel number to the incoming and outgoing data
- Channelized local and network loopbacks
- Channelized selection of 64 kps, 56 kps or no data
- Channelized transmit DS0 channel fill of all ones
- Routing data to and from the BERT function
- Routing data to the V.54 loop pattern detector

The DS3134 contains a 256-channel HDLC controller, which performs the layer 2 functions. Functions performed by this controller include:
- Zero stuffing and de-stuffing
- Flag detection and byte alignment
- CRC generation and checking
- Data inversion and bit flipping

The DS3134 contains a 16 kbyte transmit FIFO and a 16 kbyte receive FIFO. Each FIFO is divided into 1024 blocks of 4 dwords or 16 bytes. FIFO memory is allocated on an HDLC channel basis. The amount of FIFO memory allocated to each HDLC channel is programmable and can be a minimum of 4 blocks and a maximum of 1024 blocks. FIFO memory is allocated to HDLC channels by creating a circular linked list out of a group of blocks where each block points to the next block in the chain and the last block points to the first. The FIFO block linked list is assigned to a specific HDLC channel by assigning one block in the linked list to be that channel's FIFO starting block pointer.
In this example, four TX FIFO blocks and four RX FIFO blocks are assigned to the HDLC channel. This example also uses an RX FIFO high water mark of 3 and TX FIFO low water mark of 1. The RX FHFO high water mark indicates how many blocks should be written into RX FIFO by the HDLC engines before the DMA will begin sending the data to the PCI Bus. The high water mark setting must be between one block and one less than the number of blocks in the link-list chain for the particular channel involved. The TX FIFO low water mark indicates how many blocks should be left in the TX FIFO before the DMA should begin getting more data from the PCI Bus. The amount of FIFO memory, RX FIFO high water mark, and TX FIFO low water mark required by an HDLC channel to prevent transmit underflows and receive overflows from occurring is application dependent. The TX FIFO and RX FIFO of the DS3134 are configured independently on an HDLC channel basis via the registers listed in the following tables.

The DMA block handles the transfer of packet data from the FIFO block to the PCI block and vice versa. The PCI block controls data transfers between the DS3134 and the external PCI bus. The host, defined as the CPU or intelligent controller that sits on the PCI bus, instructs the DS3134 on how to handle the incoming and outgoing data.
This is accomplished using descriptors which are defined as pre-formatted messages passed from the host to the DMA block or vice versa. Via these descriptors, the host informs the DMA about the location and status of packet data to be transmitted, and where to place packet data that is received. The DMA uses these descriptors to tell the host the status of packet data that has been transmitted, and the status and location of packet data that has been received.
On the receive side the host will write to the free queue descriptors informing the DMA where it can place incoming packet data. Associated with each free queue entry is a receive data buffer location and packet descriptor. As the DS3134 uses receive free queue entries to write received packet data to host memory it creates entries in the RX done queue. These RX done queue entries inform the host about the location and status of received data. Refer to the DS3134 data sheet for more detailed information. The host must configure the RX DMA by writing to all the of the registers at the following table:

Associated with each pending queue descriptor is a linked list of one or more transmit packet descriptors that describe the packet data. Each of these transmit packet descriptors also has a pointer to a transmit data buffer that contains the actual data payload of the HDLC packet.
As the DS3134 processes transmit pending queue descriptor entries it creates transmit done queue descriptor queue entries. The DMA will write to the done queue when it has completed transmitting either a complete packet or data buffer depending on how the DS3134 is configured. Via these done queue descriptors, the DMA informs the host about the status of the outgoing packet data. Refer to the DS3134 data sheet for more detailed information. The host must configure the TX DMA by writing to all the of the registers at the following table:

After the DS3134 has been initialized the next step is to enable the HDLC channel. In addition to the configuration steps already described, the following steps must be performed to enable packet transmission and reception in the DS3134:
- Enable the channel in the port TX and RX configuration RAM's
- Enable port data transmission in Layer 1
- Enable TX DMA and RX DMA for the DS3134
- Enable HDLC channel TX DMA and RX DMA

Place the HDLC Channel in Loopback Mode
After the channel has been configured and enabled it takes approximately 5 frame periods, or 625 microseconds, for the internal logic of the DS3134 to complete the transition to the new configuration. Once this transition has completed the HDLC channel can then be placed in loopback mode so that all data transmitted on the channel will also be received on that channel. Placing the HDLC channel in loopback mode prior to the 5-frame wait period may result in garbage data being written into the channel's RX FIFO.

Queue, Send, Receive, And Check A Data Packet
Once the DS3134 initialization has been completed, data can be transmitted and received. Since the DS3134 is in loopback mode all data transmitted on the HDLC channel will also be received on that channel. This section will describe the process of how to build a data packet in host memory, transmit and receive the packet, and check the results. The following sections describe this process in detail.
Initialize The RX Free Queue
Before the DS3134 can DMA received packets from its internal FIFO to host memory, the host must
instruct the DS3134 where to put the data. This is done via the RX free queue. Each entry in the RX free
queue contains a pointer to an RX data buffer and an RX packet descriptor index. This example uses one
RX free queue entry. This entry contains one RX free queue large buffer and one RX packet descriptor.
The DS3134 RX large data buffer size has been set to 256 bytes (RLBS = 256). Additionally, the DS3134
has been configured to use a 4-byte CRC and to write the RX CRC into the RX data buffer. Therefore one
RX large data buffer is capable of holding up to 252 bytes of packet data.
// check for space in RX large free queue read_reg(RFQLBWP, wr_ptr); read_reg(RFQLBRP, rd_ptr); if (rd_ptr > wr_ptr) cnt = rd_ptr - wr_ptr - 1; else cnt = rfq_end_idx - wr_ptr + rd_ptr; // If room in RX free queue then put 1 entry in the queue // dword 0 = RX data buffer address // (use RX data buffer starting at RX buffer area base address) // dword 1 = corresponding RX descriptor index (use RX descriptor table index 0) if (cnt > 0) { rx_dscr_idx = 0; wr_dword(rfq_base_addr + wr_ptr*8, rx_buf_base_addr); wr_dword(rfq_base_addr + wr_ptr*8 + 4, rx_dscr_idx); // Advance the RX free queue large buffer write pointer by 1 write_reg(RFQLBWP, (wr_ptr + 1) % (rfq_end_idx + 1)); }Build The Packet In Host Memory
This example will send a 16-byte data packet. Before a packet can be sent it must be constructed in the host memory. Additionally, a corresponding TX packet descriptor must also be constructed in host memory. Each of these tasks is detailed in the following code.
// Create a 16-byte data packet in memory in a TX buffer whose start address is the TX buffer area base // address wr_dword(tx_buf_base_addr, 0x01234567); wr_dword(tx_buf_base_addr + 4, 0x89ABCDEF); wr_dword(tx_buf_base_addr + 8, 0x02468ACE); wr_dword(tx_buf_base_addr + 12, 0x13579BDF); // Create a TX descriptor (4 dwords) for the packet at TX descriptor // TX descriptor table index 0 // dword0 = TX buffer address // dword1 = EOF, CV, byte count, next descriptor pointer // dowrd2 = HDLC channel // dword3 = PV, next pending descriptor pointer (set to 0) tx_dscr_idx = 0; wr_dword(tdscr_base_addr + tx_dscr_idx*16, tx_buf_base_addr); wr_dword(tdscr_base_addr + tx_dscr_idx*16 + 4, 0x80100000); wr_dword(tdscr_base_addr + tx_dscr_idx*16 + 8, 0x00000000 + channel); wr_dword(tdscr_base_addr + tx_dscr_idx*16 + 12, 0x00000000);Transmit And Receive The Packet
In order to transmit the packet, the TX descriptor must be placed in the transmit pending queue and then the transmit pending queue write pointer (TPQWP) must be incremented. When the DS3134 detects that pending queue is not empty (TPQWP not equal to TPQRP) it will begin processing queue entries and the packet will be transmitted.

// Read SDMA register to clear any previously set status bits read_reg(SDMA, data); // check free space in TX pending queue read_reg(TPQWP, wr_ptr); read_reg(TPQRP, rd_ptr); if (rd_ptr > wr_ptr) cnt = rd_ptr - wr_ptr - 1; else cnt = rfq_end_idx - wr_ptr + rd_ptr; // If room in the TX pending queue create an entry for the packet if (cnt > 0) { wr_dword(tpq_base_addr + wr_ptr*4, 0x0000000 + (channel << 16)); // Advance the TX pending queue write pointer write_reg(TPQWP, (wr_ptr + 1) % (tpq_end_idx + 1)); }Check The Results
After waiting a sufficient period of time for the packet to be transmitted and received several checks can be performed to determine if packet transmission and reception was successful. The following code details these checks.
