Mode is a bitfield. You can enable/disable some readAs features as well as change the used DMAC channel.
The control register is used to configure ReadAs. Writing to the control register starts the ReadAs operation.

ReadAs is a functionality provided by an unknown device special device used to perform "arbitrary" bus transactions?

It can be used to read/write data anywhere on the mapped memory. It is suspected to be a DMAC4 interface.

It is never accessed by any currently reverse-engineered code, and is not referenced in memory map.

Registers

Location

The ReadAs MMIO interface is located at physical address 0xE0020040.

Structure

Register Description
0xE0020040 Address
0xE0020044 Data (in/out)
0xE0020048 Control

Control register

The control register is used to configure ReadAs. Writing to the control register starts the ReadAs operation.

Bit(s) Description
0 Operation type (0: Read - 1: Write)
2:1 ? (maybe IA selection)
6:3 Bytes enable (Bit 6/5/4/3 => byte 3/2/1/0 in LE order)

Controls which bytes are read/write at target address.

(bit 5 sometimes also control whether read is aligned to 0x10 or not)

15:7 MReqInfo<15:7>
24:16 ?
30:25 Bus Master ID (impersonated for access)
31 RAZ/WI (maybe BUSY?)

Usage example

#define READAS_REG 0xE0020040 // readas32 device

#define READAS_MODE_READ  0x0
#define READAS_MODE_WRITE 0x1

#define READAS_DEV_S   (0x0 << 1) // default secure
#define READAS_DEV_UNK (0x1 << 1) // masks DRAM and DRAM regs, from ARM bus
#define READAS_DEV_NS  (0x2 << 1) // non-secure

// below options only apply to write mode and some offsets in read mode
#define READAS_BE_0 (0x1 << 3) //enable byte 0 (LSB)
#define READAS_BE_1 (0x2 << 3) //enable byte 1 - or READAS_NOALIGN in incompatible read offsets
#define READAS_BE_2 (0x4 << 3) //enable byte 2
#define READAS_BE_3 (0x8 << 3) //enable byte 3 (MSB)

#define READAS_BUS_MASTER(x) (((x) & 0x3Fu) << 25)

typedef struct {
    unsigned int addr;
    unsigned int val;
    unsigned int ctrl;
} __attribute__((packed)) e002_readas32;

static volatile e002_readas32* const READAS32 = (void*)READAS_REG;

// read from [addr] with configuration [cfg]
static u32_t readAs(u32_t addr, u32_t cfg) {
    READAS32->addr = addr;
    READAS32->val = 0xDEADBABE;
    READAS32->ctrl = (cfg & ~READAS_MODE_WRITE);
    while (READAS32->val == 0xDEADBABE) {} // wait until READAS replies
    return READAS32->val;
}

// write [data] to [addr] with configuration [cfg]
static void writeAs(u32_t addr, u32_t data, u32_t cfg) {
    READAS32->addr = addr;
    READAS32->val = data;
    READAS32->ctrl = (cfg | READAS_MODE_WRITE);
}

Notes

  • On SoC v3.2+ all read modes can be disabled by writing 0x420 to physical address 0xE0010010.
  • This cmep device has been updated in PS Vita SoC rev 4 compared to rev 3.2: When cmep is reset, the configuration is also zeroed (both in type 1 and type 8 cmep reset).
