The DPU control registers are used to start a DPU core, wait for tasks to complete, and then clear DPU status. The details of control registers are shown in the following table.
Table 1. DPU Control Registers
Register Address Offset Width Type Description
reg_ap_control 0x000 32 r/w
  • Bit 0: ap_start (read/write/clear on handshake)
  • Bit 1: ap_done (read/clear on read)
  • Bit 2: ap_idle (read)
  • Others: reserved
Global interrupt enable register (GIER) 0x004 32 r/w
  • Bit 0: global interrupt enable
  • Others: reserved
IP interrupt enable register (IPIER) 0x008 32 r/w
  • Bit 0: channel 0 (ap_done)
  • Others: reserved
IP interrupt status register (IPISR) 0x00c 32 r/w
  • Bit 0: channel 0 (ap_done) (read/toggle on write)
  • Others: reserved
reg_dpu_start 0x010 32 r/w
  • Bit [0]: enable DPU to start
reg_finish_clr 0x018 32 r/w
  • Bit [0]: clear reg_finish_sts
reg_finish_sts 0x080 32 r
  • Bit [0]: indicates that the DPU task has completed.

reg_finish_sts is an asynchronous output that should be trigger a level-sensitive circuit.
