Memory design displays all the address spaces and memory maps from the associated HW design. These are
constructed from the component instances and their contained components. Connections made between the bus
interfaces in the HW design are displayed here as connections between the address space referenced by the
connected master bus interface and the memory map referenced by the connected slave interface.
Initially the memory design is shown at the most simple level, all the items and connections are condensed
and both the sub memory items and bridge connections are hidden. These can all be expanded and shown
through the buttons on the Filtering Tools group in the tool bar.
Address spaces are displayed in green on the left side of the view. The address spaces are constructed using the address spaces of the instanced components in the associated HW design. The address spaces can contain address segments.
Memory maps are displayed in blue on the right side of the view. The memory maps are constructed using the memory maps of the instanced components in the associated HW design. The memory maps can contain address blocks, registers and register fields.
The memory items are displayed as rectangular items containing information regarding the memory item.
Connections are featured as lines between the connected items, with the connection range displayed on both sides of the connection. Connections and the connected memory items are arrayd so that the ranges of the memory items and their sub memory items match.
Connections are divided into different classes:
Overlapping connections are displayed in red. with the overlapping range areas displayed next to the connections.
All the sub memory items can be enabled or disabled through the use of buttons in the tool bar. This allows
the user to display only the required information. Additionally, field items can be extended to display
their full name. This can be achieved by pressing the button for extending the field items, or by pressing
ALT together with using the mouse wheel.
The bridged connections are initially hidden, but they can be viewed through the use of Address Space
Filter button.
As the memory items are initially displayed as compressed, it is possible to display them in full. This
can be achieved through the Compress Memory Items button.
