Common basic steps:
- Include/create infrastructure:
* Intel:
- require quartus::device package
- set_module_property VALIDATION_CALLBACK info_param_validate
* Xilinx
- add bd.tcl, containing init{} procedure. The init procedure will be
called when the IP will be instantiated into the block design.
- add to the xilinx_blockdiagram file group the bd.tcl and common_bd.tcl
- create GUI files
- add parameters in *_ip.tcl and *_hw.tcl (adi_add_auto_fpga_spec_params)
- add/propagate the info parameters through the IP verilog files

The axi_pulse_gen is a generic PWM generator, which can be configured
through an AXI Memory Mapped interface.
The current register map look like follows:
0x00 - VERSION
0x04 - ID
0x08 - SCRATCH
0x0C - IDENTIFICATION - 0x504c5347 which stands for 'PLSG' in ASCII
0x10 - CONFIGURATION - contains reset and load bits
0x14 - PULSE_PERIOD
0x18 - PULSE_WIDTH
Also update all the other modules, which instantiate the util_pulse_gen.
To prevent the case, when after an invalid configuration, the generated
output PWM signal is constant HIGH, change the counter to a
down-counter. In this way the pulse will be placed at the end of the
PWM period, and if the configured width value is higher than the
configured period the output signal will be constant LOW.

Current implementation does not supports updated versions of Vivado
e.g. 2017.4.1 or 2018.2.1
This fix ignores the update number from the version checking.
Registers from this component can fit in the 2k address range.
Since Vivado's minimal address range is 4k, use that instead.
This will allow placing the independent TPLs to base addresses
that mach the addresses from the monolithic blocks ensuring no software
intervention.
The DMAC has the requirement that the length of the transfer is aligned to
the widest interface width. E.g. if the widest interface is 256 bit or 32
bytes the length of the transfer needs to be a multiple of 32.
This restriction can be relaxed for the memory mapped interfaces. This is
done by partially ignoring data of a beat from/to the MM interface.
For write access the stb bits are used to mask out bytes that do not
contain valid data.
For read access a full beat is read but part of the data is discarded. This
works fine as long as the read access is side effect free. I.e. this method
should not be used to access data from memory mapped peripherals like a
FIFO.
This means that for example the length alignment requirement of a DMA
configured for a 64-bit memory and a 16-bit streaming interface is now only
2 bytes instead of 8 bytes as before.
Note that the address alignment requirement is not affected by this. The
address still needs to be aligned to the width of the MM interface that it
belongs to.

FPGAs support different widths for the read and write port of the block
SRAM cells. The DMAC can make use of this feature when the source and
destination interface have a different width to up-size/down-size the data
bus.
Using memory cells with asymmetric port width consumes the same amount of
SRAM cells, but allows to bypass the re-size blocks inside the DMAC that
are otherwise used for up- and down-sizing. This reduces overall resource
usage and can improve timing.
If the ratio between the destination and source port is too larger to be
handled by SRAM alone the SRAM block will be configured to do partial up-
or down-sizing and a resize block will be inserted to take care of the
remaining up-/down-sizing. E.g. if a 256-bit interface is connected to a
32-bit interface the SRAM will be used to do an initial resizing of 256 bit
to 64 bit and a resize block will be used to do the remaining resizing from
64 bit to 32 bit.
Currently this feature is disabled for Intel FPGAs since Quartus does not
properly infer a block RAM with different read and write port widths from
the current ad_asym_mem module. Once that has been resolved support for
asymmetric memories can also be enabled in the DMAC.

The handling of the src_data_valid_bytes signal and its related signal is
tightly coupled to the behavior of the resize_src module. The code that

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

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.

On Arria10 there are 6 transceivers in a single bank. If more than 6
transceivers are used these will end up in multiple banks.
The ATX PLL can directly connect to the transceivers in the same bank
through the 1x clock network. To connect to transceivers in another bank it
has to go through a master clock generation block (MCGB) and the xN clock
network.
Add support for instantiating the MCGB if more than 6 lanes are used. In
this case the first 6 transceivers will still have a direct connection to
the PLL while all other transceivers will be clocked by the MCGB.
Note that this requires that the first 6 transceivers are all in the same

All projects have been updated to use the new pack/unpack infrastructure.

The util_cpack2 core is similar to the util_upack core. It packs, or
interleaves, a data from multiple ports into a single data. Ports can
optionally be enabled or disabled.
On the input side the cpack2 core uses a multi-port FIFO interface. There
is a single data write signal (fifo_wr_en) for all ports. But each port can
be individually enabled or disabled using the enable signals.
On the output side the cpack2 core uses a single port FIFO interface. When
data is available on the output interface the data write signal
(packed_fifo_wr_en). Data on the packed_fifo_wr_data signal is only valid
when packed_fifo_wr_en is asserted. At other times the content is
undefined. The cpack2 core offers no back-pressure. If data is not consumed
when it is made available it will be lost.
Data from the input ports is accumulated inside the cpack2 core and if
enough data is available to produce a full output vector the data is
forwarded.
This core is build using the common pack infrastructure. The core that is
specific to the cpack2 core is mainly only responsible for generating the
control signals for the external interfaces.
The core is accompanied by a test bench that verifies correct behavior for
all possible combinations of enable masks.

The util_upack2 core is similar to the util_upack core. It unpacks, or
deinterleaves, a data stream onto multiple ports.
The upack2 core uses a streaming AXI interface for its data source instead
of a FIFO interface like the upack core uses.
On the output side the upack2 core uses a multi-port FIFO interface. There
is a single data request signal (fifo_rd_en) for all ports. But each port
can be individually enabled or disabled using the enable signals.
This modified architecture allows the upack2 core to better generate the
valid and underflow control signals to indicate whether data is available
in a response to a data request.
If fifo_rd_en is asserted and data is available the fifo_rd_valid signal
are asserted in the following clock cycle. The enabled fifo_rd_data ports
will be contain valid data during the same clock cycle as fifo_rd_valid is
asserted. During other clock cycles the output data is undefined. On
disabled ports the data is always undefined.
If no data is available instead the fifo_rd_underflow signal is asserted in
the following clock cycle and the output of all fifo_rd_data ports is
undefined.
This core is build using the common pack infrastructure. The core that is
specific to the upack2 core is mainly only responsible for generating the

Pack and unpack operations are very similar in structure as such it makes
sense for pack and unpack core to share a common infrastructure.
The infrastructure introduced in this patch is based on a routing network
which can implement the pack and unpack operations and grows with a
complexity of N * log(N) where N is the number of channels times the number
of samples per channel that are process in parallel.
The network is constructed from a set of similar stages composed of either

The perfect shuffle is a common operation in data processing. Add a shared
module that implements this operation.
Having this in a shared module rather than open-coding every instance makes
sure that there are clear and well defined semantics associated with the
operation that are the same each time. This should ease review, maintenance and
understanding of the code.
The perfect shuffle splits the input vector into NUM_GROUPS groups and then
each group in WORDS_PER_GROUP. The output vector consists of
WORDS_PER_GROUP groups and each group has NUM_GROUPS words. The data is
remapped, so that the i-th word of the j-th word in the output vector is
the j-th word of the i-th group of the input vector.
The inverse operation of the perfect shuffle is the perfect shuffle with
both parameters swapped.
I.e. [perfect_suffle B A [perfect_shuffle A B data]] == data
Examples:
NUM_GROUPS = 2, WORDS_PER_GROUP = 4
[A B C D a b c d] => [A a B b C c D d]
NUM_GROUPS = 4, WORDS_PER_GROUP = 2
[A a B b C c D d] => [A B C D a b c d]
NUM_GROUPS = 3, WORDS_PER_GROUP = 2
[A B a b 1 2] => [A a 1 B b 2]

The write logic (DMA side) has to be independent from the read logic (DAC side).
In general the FIFO is always ready for the DMA, and every DMA transaction will
interrupt the read-back process, and the module will stop sending data,
until the initialization is finished.
Bringing back the write address tot he DMA clock domain is totally
redundant, so delete it.
Expose the TX configurable driver ports, more specifically the
TX_DIFFCTRL, TX_POSTCURSORE and TX_PRECURSORE for software. This

high or low, comparing to the default value supported by the default
configuration of the GTs.
You can find information about these configuration ports under the
section called 'TX Configurable Driver' in the GT transceivers user
guide. (UG476, UG576)
This commit does not contain any functional modification.
Because the wizard generates the attributes in binary, we should use

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

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.

If DDS_DW is equal to DDS_D_DW there is no signal truncation and

'{(C_T_WIDTH){dds_data_int[DDS_D_DW-1]}};' being a 0 width signal. This is

The Xilinx's reset interface expect that every reset have an associated
interface and clock signal. The tool will try to find its clock and interface,
and automatically associated clock signal to it.
The PLL resets are individual asynchronous resets. To simplify the design
and avoid invalid critical warnings all the reset interface inference
for the PLL resets were removed.
Most converters refer to their different operating modes as a "Mode X"
(where X is a number) in their datasheet. Each mode has a specific framer
configuration associated with it.
Provide a set of Platform Designer (previously known as Qsys) preset files
for each mode. This allows to quickly select a specific operating mode
without having to lookup the corresponding framer configuration from the
datasheet.
A preset can be selected either in the Platform Designer GUI or from a tcl
script using the apply_preset command. E.g.
add_instance ad9172_transport ad_ip_jesd204_tpl_dac
apply_preset ad9172_transport "AD9172 Mode 10"
The preset files are generated using the scripts/generate_presets.py

The exact layout of the input data into the DAC transport layer core
depends on the framer configuration. The number of input channels is
always equal to the NUM_CHANNELS parameter, but the number of samples per
channel per beat depends on the ratio of number of lanes, number of
channels and bits per sample.
It is possible to compute this manually, but this might require in-depth
knowledge about how the JESD204 framer works. Add read-only parameters that
display the number of samples per channel per beat as well as the total
width of the channel data signal.
This information can also be queried in QSys scripts and used to
automatically configure the input pipeline. E.g. like the upack core:

set CHANNEL_DATA_WIDTH [get_instance_parameter_value jesd204_transport CHANNEL_DATA_WIDTH]
add_instance util_dac_upack util_upack

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

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.

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.

This does not increase the complexity of the PN generator, all reset values

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.

In case when the SYSREF is connected to an FPGA IO which has a limitation
on the IOB register IN_FF clock line and the required ref clock is high
we can't use the IOB registers.
e.g. the max clock rate on zcu102 HP IO FF is 312MHz but ref clock is 375MHz;
If IOB is used in this case a pulse width violation is reported.
This change makes the IOB placement selectable in such case or
for targets which don't require class 1 operation.
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.
- remove reset logic
- add wait for dac valid logic
- rewrite sine concatenation on wires for different path width to
suppress warnings
- use computed atan LUT tables
The CORDIC has a selectable width range for phase and data of 8-24.
Regarding the width of phase and data, the wider they are the smaller
the precision loss when shifting but with the cost of more FPGA
utilization. The user must decide between precision and utilization.
The DDS_WD parameter is independent of CORDIC(CORDIC_DW) or
Polynomial(16bit), letting the user chose the output width.
Here we encounter two scenarios:
* DDS_DW < DDS data width - in this case, a fair rounding will be
implemented corresponding to the truncated bits
* DDS_DW > DDS data width - DDS out data left shift to get the
corresponding concatenation bits.
Update for the parametrized ad_mul module. This will scale
a selectable sine width in a multiplication module.
Rename the data and phase width parameters for legibility.
When the tool calculates the X value for different phase widths, we
get rounding errors for every width in the interval [8;24].
Depending on the width thess errors cause overflows or smaller amplitudes
of the sine waves.
The error is not linear nor proportional with the phase. To fix the issue
a simple aproximation was chosen.
Perform the shifting operation before addition/subtraction in a
rotation stage. In the previous method, the result of the arithmetic
operation was shifted and the outcome was presented to the next stage.
In this way, data connections will be reduced between pipeline stages

- to select the CORDIC data width(default 16)

The HDL implementation requires pipelines, resulting in a

sine data. For this reason, a ddata (delay data) was propagated through
the pipeline stages to help in future use scenarios
Typically only one of the character error conditions is true at a time. And
even if multiple errors were present at the same time we'd only want to
count one error per character.
For each character track whether at least one of the monitored error
conditions is true. Then count the number of characters for which at least
one error condition occurred. And finally add that sum to the total numbers
of errors.
This results in a slightly better utilization.

There is usually little benefit to preserving until after the link has been

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 the source side of the DMAC can issue requests for up to

This can problematic for memory mapped buses. If the data is not read fast
enough from the DMAC back-pressure will propagate through the whole system
memory subsystem and can cause significant performance penalty or even a
deadlock halting the whole system.

store-and-forward memory is requested by throttling the request ID based
on how much room is available in the memory.

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
side. Exporting it allows the destination side interfaces to use it instead
of having to generate their own signal. This allows to eliminate the beat
counters on the destination side and simplify the data path logic.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
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
incoming response stream. The AXI specification requires that the
corresponding response is not sent before the last beat of data has been
received.
We can take advantage of this and remove the currently explicit dependency
between the data and response paths. This slightly simplifies the design.

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
DMA and have to wait for any pending beats to complete.
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
it is OK to violate the handshaking without causing any undefined behavior.

For the memory-mapped AXI read interface the slave asserts rlast for the
last beat in a burst.
This means we don't have to count the number of beats to know when the

beat_counter is often the bottleneck timing wise this should also improve

When the DMA is disabled it should gracefully shutdown and eventually end

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.

The DMAC implementation guarantees that the expression `dma_valid &

A larger store-and-forward memory provides better protection against worst

happen when using a size of 8 bursts.
