Writing Convention

In order to use the feature of autoconfiguration for communications port inside the Generic Machines block, the *.conf file used must follow a set of writing conventions:

Machine description must follow the template: MACHINE : Replacing MACHINE with one of the supported machine type: PMSMVDQ, PMSMSH or IM_SM.

Machine port description should finish with the the following suffixes :

• PMSMVDQ1_In for DataIn port            (Must be a DataIn port)
• PMSMVDQ1_Config for config LoadIn port      (Must be a LoadIn port)
• PMSMVDQ1_Out for DataOut port          (Must be a DataOut port)

Multiple machines must be distinguished by the Slot, Section and Subsection fields : To identify the different communication ports of a machine block we need to know which eHS those machines are connected to. Here's an example of four machines connected to two different eHS

1. DataIn1 PMSMVDQ1_In 5 A 1 NA -1 32
2. DataIn2 PMSMVDQ2_In 5 A 2 NA -1 32
3. DataIn3 PMSMVDQ3_In 6 A 1 NA -1 32
4. DataIn4 PMSMVDQ4_In 6 A 2 NA -1 32

All ports with Slot and Section 5 A will be associated to the first eHS and all ports with Slot and Section 6 A will be associated to the second eHS. The Subsection number identifies to which extra input port of eHS the machine is connected to in the firmware model.
