For a specific set of L, M and NP framer configuration parameters there is
an infinite set of possible values for the S and F configuration parameters
as long as S and F are integer and the following relationship is met
S / F = (L * 8) / (M * NP)
Typically the preferred framer configuration is the one with the lowest
latency. The lowest latency is achieved when S is minimal.
Automatically compute and select this value for S instead of having the
user to manually provide a value.
Since some converters allow modes where S is not minimal provide a manual
overwrite to specify S manually in case somebody wants to use such a mode.
For completeness also add a read-only OCTETS_PER_FRAME (F) parameter that
can be used to verify and check which value for F was chosen.
There is no manual overwrite for F since if L, M, NP and S are set to a
fixed value there is only a single possible value for F, which is computed
automatically.

The ad_ip_jesd204_tpl_dac currently only supports JESD204 modes that have
both N and N' set to 16.
Newer DACs like the AD9172 support modes where N and N' are not equal to
16. Add support for these modes.
The width of the internal channel data path is set to N, only processing as
many bits as necessary. At the framer the data is up-sized to N' bits with
tail bits inserted as necessary. This data is then passed to the link
layer.
The width at the DMA interface is kept at 16 bits per sample regardless of
the configuration of either N or N'. This is done to keep the interface
consistent with the existing infrastructure it will connect to like upack
and DMA. The data is expected to the LSB aligned, the unused MSBs will be
ignored.
Same is true for the test-pattern data registers. These register keep their
existing 16-bit layout, but unused MSBs will be ignored by the core.
The PN generators are modified to create only N bits of data per sample.
Note that while the core can now support modes with N' = 12 there is still
the restriction that requires the number of frames per beat to be an even
number. Which means that not all modes with N' = 12 can be supported yet.

The current framer implementation is limited in that it only supports N'=16
and either S=1 or F=1.
Rework the framer implementation to be more flexible and support more
framer setting combinations.
The new framer implementation performs the mapping in two steps. First it
groups samples into frames, as there might be more than one frame per beat.
In the second step the frames are distributed onto the lanes.
Note that this still results in a single input bit being mapped onto a
single output bit and no combinatorial logic is involved. The two step
implementation just makes it (hopefully) easier to follow.
The only restriction that remains is that number of frames per beat must be
integer. This means that F must be either 1, 2 or 4. Supporting partial
frames would result in partial sample sets being consumed at the input,
which is not supported by input pipeline.
The new framer has provisions for handling values for the number of octets
per beat other than 4, but this is not exposed as a configuration option
yet since the link layer can only handle 4 octets per beat. Making the
octets per beat configurable is something for future iterations of the
core.

The ad_ip_jesd204_tpl_dac currently is only instantiated as a submodule by
other cores like the axi_ad9144 or axi_ad9152. These cores typically only
support one specific framer configuration.
In an effort to allow more framer configurations to be used the core is
re-worked, so it can be instantiated standalone.
As part of this effort provide GUI integration for Xilinx IP Integrator
where users can instantiate and configure the core.
For this group the configuration parameters by function, provide
descriptive label and a list of allowed values for parameter validation.

neglected to update the hw.tcl for the axi_ad9144 and axi_ad9152 which use
this file.
The result is that Intel project using these cores currently do not build.
Fix it by adding the missing file to the file list.

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.
This improvement will solve a couple of [DRC REQP-1839] warning:
"The RAMB36E1 has an input control pin * which is driven by a register * that has
an active asynchronous set or reset. This may cause corruption of the memory
contents and/or read values when the set/reset is asserted and is not analyzed
by the default static timing analysis. It is suggested to eliminate the use of
a set/reset to registers driving this RAMB pin or else use a synchronous reset
in which the assertion of the reset is timed by default."
The frame synchronization between axi_hdmi_tx and axi_dmac is based
on the DMA(2D streaming) last signal. The last signal will be used as
an end of frame signal marking the beginning of the future frame to be
transferred by the DMA.
Only after both HDMI and DMA are ready for a "new frame" data will be
requested from the DMA.
The datarate and CDC between the axi_dmac and axi_hdmi_tx cores
will be handled by axi_hdmi_tx's DMA interface based on a backpressure
mechanism.
Add a interface definition for the link interface that combines the valid,
ready and data signals into a AXI streaming interface.
This allows to connect the interface to the JESD204 link layer peripheral
in one go without having to manually connect each signal.

Some modes produce only one sample per channel per beat, e.g. when M=2*L.
In this case the pattern output needs to alternate between the two patterns
from beat to beat.

All channels have a copy of the same logic to generate the PN sequences.
Sharing the PN sequence generator among all channels slightly reduces the
resource utilization of the core.

Only the N (where N is the size of the PN sequence) MSB bits of the reset
state of the PN generator should be set to 1. All other bits should be
initialized following the PN generator sequence.
Otherwise the first set of samples contain an incorrect PN sequence.
This does not increase the complexity of the PN generator, all reset values
are still constant.

All the inputs to the framer are registered. And the framer itself does not
have any combinatorial logic, it just re-orders the wire numbering of the
individual bits.
Currently the framer module adds a output register stage, but since there
is no logic in the framer this just means that these registers are directly
connected to the output of the previous register stage.
Remove the extra pipeline register. This slightly reduces utilization and
pipeline delay of the core.

Add support for specifying a set of parameter value pairs when
instantiating an IP core to the ad_ip_instance command. This has the
convenience of not having to repeatedly call ad_ip_parameter with the name
of the core that got just created for each parameter that needs to be set.
It is also useful for cases where some parameters have mutually exclusive
values and both (or more) have to be set at the same time.
This also slightly speeds things up. Whenever a parameter is changed the
core needs to be updated and post configuration scripts might run. When
setting all parameters at the same time this only happens once instead of
once for each parameter.
For example the following sequence
ad_ip_instance axi_dmac axi_ad9136_dma
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_TYPE_SRC 0
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_TYPE_DEST 1
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_DATA_WIDTH_SRC 64
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_DATA_WIDTH_DEST 256
can now be replaced with
ad_ip_instance axi_dmac axi_ad9136_dma [list \
DMA_TYPE_SRC 0 \
DMA_TYPE_DEST 1 \
DMA_DATA_WIDTH_SRC 64 \
DMA_DATA_WIDTH_DEST 256 \

The change fixes warnings like:
[Synth 8-6104] Input port 'gpio_bd_i' has an internal driver
[Synth 8-6104] Input port 'gpio_status' has an internal driver
- connect unused GPIO inputs to loopback
- connect unconnected inputs to zero
- complete interface for system_wrapper instantiated in all system_top
fixes incomplet portlist WARNING [Synth 8-350]
fixes undriven inputs WARNING [Synth 8-3295]
The change excludes the generated system.v and Xilinx files.
