Thanks Andrea,
as far as the 1 is concerned I am doing this:
icache_port = MasterPort("Instruction Port")
dcache_port = MasterPort("Data Port")
second_icache_port = MasterPort("Second Instruction Port")
_cached_ports = ['icache_port', 'dcache_port','second_icache_port']
and then the connections seems correct to me.
Is there anything else? Does the name inside the Master Port plays any role?
Because for example, I haven't used Second Instruction Port anywhere else.
Do I need to create a new class for example, or it is not a problem that
icache_port and second_icache_port use the same?
Thanks,
Ignatios

I would think there are three places where things could be going wrong:
1 In the python code where the ports are being connected
2 In the getMaster/SlavePort in the cache where the name from the python code
is mapped to an actual port instance
3 In the port subclass used

Subject: [gem5-users] Slave and Master Ports in gem5
Hello,
in my config.ini file, I am having this:
icache_port=system.cpu.icache.cpu_side
second_icache_port=system.secondmainCpu.icache.second_cpu_side
I have made some modificiations in order to have two ports in my cpus and in my
caches.
But then in my code, for example when I have this:
MasterPort::sendTimingReq(PacketPtr pkt)
{
...
DPRINTF(MyFlag, "return value port name %s\n",_slavePort->name());
...
}
I see this output:
system.mainCpu.icache_port: return value port name system.cpu.icache.cpu_side
which is correct.
But for the second_icache_port i see this:
system.mainCpu.second_icache_port: return value port name
system.secondmainCpu.icache.cpu_side
I think at somewhere, I should define what the slave port is going to be, but
I do not know where to do that. I have checked for my secondCPU as well and the
same things happen. Although it appears correctly in the config.ini file, it
does not return what
it supposes to return. Instead it returns the same slave port as the
icache_port.
Any help?
Edit:
For example, in the BaseCPU::takeOverFrom, in the base.cc file,If I call these:
BaseSlavePort &inst_peer_port = oldCPU->getInstPort().getSlavePort();
BaseSlavePort &second_inst_peer_port =
oldCPU->getSecondInstPort().getSlavePort();
they will return the same although:
oldCPU->getInstPort() is icache_port
oldCPU->getSecondInstPort() is second_icache_port
They will both return
system.cpu.icache.cpu_side as their slave port.
regards,
Ignatios
