The DMA_LENGTH_ALIGN LSBs of all length For the most part the tools are
able to deduce this using constant propagation.
But this propagation does not work across the asynchronous meta data FIFO
in the burst memory module.
Add a DMA_LENGTH_ALIGN parameter to the burst_memory module which is used
to explicitly keep the LSBs of length registers on the destination side
fixed at 1'b1. This reduces resource use and improves timing by allowing
better constant propagation and unused logic elimination.

One of the major features of the DMAC is being able to handle non matching
interface widths for the destination and source side.
Currently the test benches only support the case where the width for the
source and the destination side are the same. Extend them so that it is
possible to also test and verify setups where the width is not the same.
To accomplish this each byte memory location is treated as if it contained
the lower 8 bytes of its address. And then the written/read data is
compared to the expected data based on that.

If the req_valid asserts faster than the ID gets synchronized over we

This can lead to overflow assertion when using a FIFO like interface.

Length of partial transfers are stored in a queue for SW reads.
The presence of partial transfer is indicated by a status bit.
The reporting can be enabled by a control bit.
The progress of any transfer can be followed by a debug register.
Drive the descriptor from the source side to destination
so we can abort consecutive transfers in case TLAST asserts.
For AXIS count the length of the burst and pass that value to the
destination instead the programmed one. This is useful when the
streams aborts early by asserting the TLAST. We want to notify the
destination with the right number of beats received.
For FIFO source interface reuse the same logic due the small footprint
even if the stream does not got interrupted in that case.
For MM source interface wire the burst length from the request side to
destination.
Reduce the width of ID signals to avoid size mismatches in Arria 10 SoC
projects where the ID width of the hard IP is 4.
The width of ID that reaches the slave can be increased by the interconnect if
multiple masters access the slave so we end up with mismatches.
Since these signals are unused it is safe to reduce them to minimum width and
let the interconnect zero-extend them as required.
The buffers inside the interconnect are sized based on maximum burst sizes
the masters can produce.
For AXI4 the max burst size is 128 but for these projects for the
default burst size of 128 bytes the DMACs are creating only burst of 8 or
16 beats depending on the bus width (128bits and 64 bits respectively).
These burst sizes can fit in the AXI3 protocol where the max burst
length is 16. Therefore the interconnect will be reduced.
The observed reduction is around 4 Mb of block RAM per project.
Another benefit is a better timing closure,
since these buffers reside in the DDR3 clock domain.
The round function from tcl is a rounding to nearest. Using it in address
width calculation produces incorrect values.
e.g.
round(log(0xAF000000)/log(2)) will produce 31 instead of 32
The fix is to replace the rounding function with ceiling that guarantees
rounding up.
In MM2S applications like video DMA it is useful to mark the end of the stream
with the TLAST.
The change enables the generation of the TLAST on the last beat of the
last row of the 2d transfer.
The index on MSB of addresses was set to 31,
but the width of address in the axi_dmac depends on a parameter.
The mismatch causes issues in the Xilinx simulator which does not extends the
narrower width signal with zeros, instead the wider signal gets 'Z' on its MSBs.
When the address was incremented with the stride it became 'X' due the uninitialized
MSBs.
Vivado recognises .h files as C header files,
the expected extension for Verilog Header is .vh
This causes issues in simulating block designs since these files
won't be exported for the simulation even if they are
part of the simulation fileset.
When creating a block design targeted for simulation, in the testbench
it is useful to know the parameters of the sub components (e.g DMAC)
Xilinx's way to pass the parameters to the testbench in case of it's AXI
verification IP is through package files. We will do the same for the DMAC.
The package file can be generated from template files (ttcl).
These will be added only to the simulation file set of the project and
won't affect synthesis.
This change adds a diagnostic interface to the DMAC core.
The interface exposes internal information about the core,
information which can't be exposed through AXI registers
due the latency and update rate.
Such information is the fullness of the internal buffer.
For this is exposed in bursts and is driven from the destination
clock domain, as this is reflected in its name.
The signal has a fixed size and is dimensioned by
taking in account the supported maximum number of bursts of 128.
This change adds the TLAST signal to the AXI streaming interface
of the source side for Intel targets.
Xilinx based designs already have this since the tlast is part of the
interface definition.
In order to make the signal optional and let the tool connect a
default value to the it, the USE_TLAST_SRC/DEST parameter is
added to the configuration UI. This conditions the tlast port on
the interface of the DMAC.
Xilinx handles the optional signals much better so the parameter
is not required there.
In its current implementation the DMAC requires that the length of a
transfer is aligned to the widest interface. E.g. if the widest interface
is 128 bits wide the length of the transfer needs to be a multiple of 16
bytes.
If the requested length is not aligned to the interface width it will be
rounded up.
This works fine as long as both interfaces have the same width. If they
have different widths it is possible that the length is rounded up to
different values on the source and destination side. In that case the DMA
will deadlock because the transfer lengths don't match and either not enough
of too much data is delivered from the source to the destination side.
Currently it is up to software to make sure that such an invalid
configuration is not possible.
Also enforce this requirement in the DMAC itself by setting the LSBs of the
transfer length to a fixed 1 so that the length is always aligned to the
widest interface.
Software can also use this to discover the length alignment requirement, by
first writing a zero to the length register and then reading the register
back. The LSBs of the read back value will be non-zero indicating the
alignment requirement.
In a similar way the stride needs to be aligned to the width of its
respective interface, so the generated addresses stay aligned. Enforce this
in the same way by keeping the LSBs cleared.
Increment the minor version number to reflect these changes.

Currently both the source side and the destination side interfaces employ a
beat counter to identify the last beat in a burst.
The burst memory already has an internal last signal on the destination

counters on the destination side and simplify the data path logic.

Currently the destination side request ID is synchronized response ID from
the source side. This signal is effectively the same as the synchronized
src ID inside the burst memory. The only difference is that they might not
increment in the exact same clock cycle.
Exporting the request ID from the burst memory means we can remove the extra
synchronizer block.
This has the added bonus that the request ID will increment in the same
clock cycle as when the data becomes available from the memory.
This means we can assume that when there is a outstanding burst request
indicated via the ID that data is available from the memory and vice versa
when data is available from the memory that there is a outstanding burst
request.

Currently the DMAC uses a simple FIFO as the store-and-forward buffer. The
FIFO handshaking is beat based whereas the remainder of the DMAC is burst
based. This means that additional control signals have to be combined with
the FIFO handshaking signal to generate the external handshaking signals.
Re-work the store-and-forward buffer to utilize a BRAM that is subdivided
into N segments. Where N is the maximum number of bursts that can be stored
in the buffer and each segment has the size of the maximum burst length.
Each segment stores the data associated with one burst and even when the
burst is shorter than the maximum burst length the next burst will be
stored in the next segment.
The new store-and-forward buffer takes care of generating all the
handshaking signals. This means handshaking is generated in a central place
and does not have to be combined from multiple data-paths simplifying the
overall logic.
The new store-and-forward buffer also takes care of data width up- and
down-sizing in case that the source and sink modules have a different data
width. This tighter integration will allow future enhancements like using
asymmetric memory.
This re-work lays the foundation of future enhancements to the DMA like
support for un-aligned transfers and early transfer abort which would have
been much more difficult to implement with the previous architecture.
In addition it significantly reduces the resource utilization of the
store-and-forward buffer and allows for better timing due to reduced
combinatorial path lengths.

There is an implicit dependency between the outgoing data stream and the

For the AXI streaming interfaces we need to make sure that the handshaking
rules for the external interface are met. Hence we can't just disable the

For the FIFO interfaces on the other hand no such requirements exist. All
handshaking is for the internal pipeline which will be reset as a whole so

When the DMA is disabled it should gracefully shutdown and eventually end
up in an idle state. All outstanding AXI MM requests need to complete

The DMAC allows a transfer to be aborted. When a transfer is aborted the
DMAC shuts down as fast as possible while still completing any pending
transactions as required by the protocol specifications of the port. E.g.
for AXI-MM this means to complete all outstanding bursts.
Once the DMAC has entered an idle state a special synchronization signal is
send to all modules. This synchronization signal instructs them to flush
the pipeline and remove any stale data and metadata associated with the
aborted transfer. Once all data has been flushed the DMAC enters the
shutdown state and is ready for the next transfer.
In addition each module has a reset that resets the modules state and is
used at system startup to bring them into a consistent state.
Re-work the shutdown process to instead of flushing the pipeline re-use the
startup reset signal also for shutdown.
To manage the reset signal generation introduce the reset manager module.
It contains a state machine that will assert the reset signals in the
correct order and for the appropriate duration in case of a transfer
shutdown.
The reset signal is asserted in all domains until it has been asserted for
at least 4 clock cycles in the slowest domain. This ensures that the reset
signal is not de-asserted in the faster domains before the slower domains
have had a chance to process the reset signal.
In addition the reset signal is de-asserted in the opposite direction of
the data flow. This ensures that the data sink is ready to receive data
before the data source can start sending data. This simplifies the internal
handshaking.
This approach has multiple advantages.
* Issuing a reset and removing all state takes less time than
explicitly flushing one sample per clock cycle at a time.
* It simplifies the logic in the faster clock domains at the expense of
more complicated logic in the slower control clock domain. This allows
for higher fMax on the data paths.
* Less signals to synchronize from the control domain to the data domains
The implementation of the pause mode has also slightly changed. Pause is
now a simple disable of the data domains. When the transfer is resumed
after a pause the data domains are re-enabled and continue at their
previous state.

A larger store-and-forward memory provides better protection against worst
case memory interface latencies by being able to store more data before

happen when using a size of 8 bursts.
This change does not significantly increase resource consumption. Both on

When the source and destination bus widths don't match a resize block is
inserted on the side of the narrower bus. This resize block can contain
partial data.
To ensure that there is no residual partial data is left in the resize
block after a transfer shutdown the resize block is reset when the DMA is
disabled.
Currently this is implemented by tying the reset signal of the resize block
to the enable signal of the DMA. This enable signal is only a indicator
though that the DMA should shutdown. For a proper shutdown outstanding
transactions still need to be completed.
The data that is in the resize block might be required to complete those
transactions. So performing the reset when the enable signal goes low can
lead to a situation where the DMA tries to complete a transaction but can't
do it because the data required to do so has been erased by resetting the
resize block. This leads to a dead lock and the system has to be rebooted
to recover from it.
To solve this use the sync_id signal to reset the resize block. The sync_id
signal will only be asserted when both the destination and source side
module have indicated that they are ready to be reset and there are no more
pending transactions.

The width of the AXI burst length field depends on the AXI standard
version. For AXI3 the width is 4 bits allowing a maximum burst length of 16
beats, for AXI4 it is 8 bits wide allowing a maximum burst length of 256
beats.
At the moment the width of the length signals are determined by type of the
source AXI interface, even if the source interface type is not AXI. This
means if the source interface is set to AXI3 and the destination interface
is set to AXI4 the internal width of the signal for all interfaces will be
4 bits. This leads to a truncation of the destination bus length field,
which is supposed to be 8 bits.
If burst are generated that are longer than 16 beats the upper bits of the
length signal will be truncated. The result of this will be that the
external AXI slave interface (e.g. the DDR memory) and the internal logic
in the DMA disagree about burst length. The DMA will eventually lock up
when its internal buffers are full.
To avoid this issue have different configuration parameters for the source
and destination interface that configure the AXI bus length field width.
This way one of the interfaces can be configured for AXI3 and the other for
AXI4 without interfering with each other.

Since on Altera there is no target that has to be generated create a dummy

Reset the fifo_rd_data if the DMA does not have an active transfer.

The DMAC currently doesn't support transfers where the length is not a

transfer length.
Given that the other parts of the DMA don't support such transfers this is
unnecessary though. So remove it for now and replace it with a constant
expression where wstrb is always fully asserted.
The generated logic for the wstrb signal was quite terrible, so this
improves the timing of the core.

Currently the read side of the src_response interface is not used. This
leads to warnings about signals that have a value assigned but are never
read.
To avoid this just comment out all signals that are related to the
src_response interface for now.

Make sure that the right hand side expression of assignments is not wider
than the target signal. This avoids warnings about implicit truncations.
None of these changes affect the behaviour, just fixes some warnings about
implicit signal truncation.

The external s_axi_{awaddr,araddr} signals that are connect to the core
have their width set according to the specified size of the register map.
If the s_axi_{awaddr,araddr} signal of the core is wider (as it currently
is for many cores) the MSBs of those signals are left unconnected, which
generates a warning.
To avoid this make sure that the signal width matches the declared register
map size.

The axi_dmac can issue up to FIFO_SIZE read and write requests in parallel.
This is done in order to maximize throughput and compensate for for
latency.
Set the {read,write}IssuingCapability properties accordingly on the AXI
master interfaces. Otherwise qsys might decide to insert bridges that
artificially limit the number of requests, which in turn might affect
performance.

Qsys allows to query to query the clock domain that is associated with a
clock input of a peripheral. This allows to automatically detect whether
the different clocks of the DMAC are asynchronous and CDC logic needs to be
inserted or not.
Auto-detection has the advantages that the configuration parameters don't
need to be set manually and the optional configuration will be choose
automatically. There is also less chance of error of leaving the settings
in a wrong configuration when e.g. the clock domains change.
In case the auto-detection should ever fail configuration options that
provide a manual overwrite are added as well.

Group configuration parameters by function, provide human readable labels
as well as specify the allowed ranges for each parameter.
This prevents accidental misconfiguration and also makes it easier to
inspect (or change) the configuration in the Qsys GUI.

Use the ad_ip_intf_s_axi helper function to create the axi4lite slave
interface for memory mapped peripherals. This slightly reduces the amount
of boilerplate code in the peripheral's *hw.tcl
