By defualt the supported tool chain is Quartus PRO. If you want to
build the project with Quartus Standard, you need to define an environment
variable called QUARTUS_PRO_ISUSED with the value 0. (e.g. export
QUARTUS_PRO_ISUSED=0 )
Note: Not all projects going to build on Quartus Standard, you should
fix the errors if there is any.
There is a major compatibility issue between 2019.1 and 2019.2.
The file system_top.hdf got a different file extention. This will
cause a compilation failer in the end of the build. To save time
and fail earlier, upgrade the version mismatch message to ERROR.
If user still wants to build a branch with different tool version
the variable ADI_IGNORE_VERSION_CHECK should be set to 1.
On the Xilinx PHY the available PLL options depends on the lane rate.
Encoding is:
0 - CPLL
1 - QPLL0
2 - QPLL1
Since the selection of line rate is available from the project also the
PLL selection must be exposed.
The AFE's I2C interface should be pin-multiplexed to the FPGA. Also, add
a bidirectional IO buffer for the interface, and make sure it has weak
pull-up resistors.
Use over-writable parameters from the environment.
e.g.
make JESD_MODE=64B66B RX_RATE=24.75 TX_RATE=12.375 REF_CLK_RATE=375 RX_JESD_L=4 TX_JESD_L=4
make JESD_MODE=64B66B RX_RATE=16.22016 TX_RATE=16.22016 REF_CLK_RATE=245.76 RX_JESD_M=8 RX_JESD_L=2 TX_JESD_M=16 TX_JESD_L=4
make JESD_MODE=8B10B RX_JESD_L=4 RX_JESD_M=8 TX_JESD_L=4 TX_JESD_M=8
The previous mechanism was "probing" the DMAs for valid data. Better said,
each interpolation channel enabled it's DMA until a valid data was received,
then it disabled the DMA read and waited for the adjacent channel(DMA) to
receive a valid data. Only when for both channels had valid data on the
DMAs interfaces was the transmission started. This added an undesired and
redundant complexity to the interpolation channels. Furthermore, for continuous
transmission, using the above mechanism lead to a fixed phase(sample)
shift between the two channels at each start.
By using the streaming mechanism the interface is simplified and the
above problems are solved.
