Test Specification
ID: TEST-REGS-003
Type: Compile-Time Assertion Test
Test Level: Unit / Compile-Time
Priority: P1 (High)
Phase: Phase 05 - Implementation
Traceability
Test Objective
Verify that auto-generated register constants from intel-ethernet-regs match the official Intel datasheets. Prevent regression where YAML definitions drift from hardware specifications.
Test Description
Given register definitions in YAML files (i210.yaml, i225.yaml, etc.)
When headers are generated and compiled into driver
Then register offsets match documented values from Intel datasheets (compile-time assertions)
Test Setup
Prerequisites
- Generated headers:
intel-ethernet-regs/gen/*.h
- Intel datasheets available for reference:
- I210: Intel 333016 Datasheet v3.7
- I225: Intel 2407151103 Software Manual v2.6
- I226: Same as I225 (family)

Expected Results
Pass Criteria
✅ Compilation succeeds (exit code 0)
✅ All C_ASSERT checks pass (no compiler errors)
✅ Register offsets match datasheets (I210, I225, I226)
✅ Cross-device consistency verified (common registers have same offset)
Fail Criteria (C_ASSERT Failures)
❌ Compilation error: static assertion failed for I210_SYSTIML
❌ Offset mismatch: YAML defines 0x0B064 but datasheet says 0x0B604
❌ Device-specific error: I225_TSAUXC defined but shouldn't exist
Example Failure Output:
test_register_constants.c(25): error C2118: negative subscript
C_ASSERT(I210_SYSTIML == 0x0B600);
^
Expected 0x0B600, got 0x0B064 (YAML typo)
Performance Metrics
Target: PM-REGS-003 - Register definition coverage >95%
Measurement: Count assertions vs. total AVB-related registers
Current Coverage:
- I210: 9 registers asserted
- I225: 8 registers asserted
- I226: 6 registers asserted
- Total: 23 critical registers verified
Total AVB Registers (from datasheets): ~25
Coverage: 23/25 = 92% (close to target)
