In order to help timing closure on multi SLR FPGAs add a pipeline stage
between the link layer and physical layer. This will add a fixed amount
of delay to the overall latency.
A multi-link is a link where multiple converter devices are connected to a
single logic device (FPGA). All links involved in a multi-link are synchronous
and established at the same time. For a TX link this means that the FPGA receives
multiple SYNC signals, one for each link. The state machine of the TX link
peripheral must combine those SYNC signals into a single SYNC signal that is
asserted when either of the external SYNC signals is asserted.
Dynamic multi-link support must allow to select to which converter devices on
the multi-link the SYNC signal is propagated too. This is useful when depending
on the use case profile some converter devices are supposed to be disabled.
Add the cfg_links_disable[0x081] register for multi-link control and
propagate its value to the TX FSM.
All the file names must have the same name as its module. Change all the
files, which did not respect this rule.
Update all the make files and Tcl scripts.
Add Qsys IP scripts as well as SDC constraint files for the ADI JESD204
peripherals. This allows them to be instantiated and used on Altera/Intel
platforms.
