Access Type with user-defined properties with SystemRDL

Hi Huang,

I tried your code example:

property some_rw_type {
  type = accesstype;
  component = reg;
};

csrCompile: ERROR: in file 'accessType.rdl' line 2:
csrCompile:        syntax error at:
csrCompile:        'accesstype'

The SystemRDL 2.0 grammar does not allow for accesstype as the data type of a user defined property.

I don't remember a specific reason that the SystemRDL committee chose not to include accesstype for user defined properties in SystemRDL 2.0 other than no member requested it and we were short on time and resources.

As a workaround I would suggest storing accesstype as a string or an enumeration:

property some_rw_type {
  type = string;
  component = reg;
};
enum AccessType_Enum {
RW; R; W; NA;
};
property another_rw_type {
  type = AccessType_Enum;
  component = reg;
};
