Usage

Name Description

Description

The HBM activity monitor (amon) can be used to gain real-time access to performance monitoring and temperature sensors certain Xilinx® UltraScale+ devices that include an integrated High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) controller. Refer to the LogiCore IP Product Guide: AXI High Bandwidth Memory Controller (PG276) for more information on this core. The HBM controller and memory stacks contain both performance counters and temperature sensors that can be accessed through the HBM activity monitor from within the Xilinx Vivado hardware manager. Each HBM stack is split into eight independent memory channels, each of which is further divided into two 64-bit pseudo channels (pc).

After configuring an HBM enabled device with a design that contains instances of the AXI High Bandwidth Memory Controller, the HBM cores will be visible in the Vivado hardware manager. The add_hw_hbm_pc command lets you specify a memory channel (mc)/psuedo channel (pc) to monitor in the HBM activity monitor prior to using the run_hw_hbm_amon command.
Tip: The HBM activity monitor must not be running when adding or removing psuedo channels.

This command returns nothing if successful, or returns an error if it fails.

Arguments

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<mc_num> - (Required) Specifies one of the 8 memory channels of the HBM controller, numbered 0 to 7, to add to the HBM activity monitor.

<pc_num> - (Required) Specifies one of the 2 psuedo channels, numbered 0 or 1.

<hw_objects> - (Required) Specifies the HBM controller (hw_hbms) to monitor.

Examples

The following example adds the specified memory channels/psuedo channels on the defined HBM controller (hw_hbm) object, and then runs the HBM activity monitor in the Vivado hardware manager: 
set hbm_mon [get_hw_hbms *HBM_2] 
add_hw_hbm_pc 0 0 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 0 1 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 1 0 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 1 1 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 2 0 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 2 1 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 3 0 $hbm_mon 
add_hw_hbm_pc 3 1 $hbm_mon 
run_hw_hbm_amon $hbm_mon
