If we have a lot of peripherals connected to the CPU's memory interface,
the generated interconnect can grow to much decreasing the timing
margin.
One solution is to group the peripherals by its interface types and
functions and use bridges to connect them to the memory interface.
This commit adds the possibility to insert an Avalon Memory Mapped
bridge when we create the connection between the peripheral and CPU.
Should be used just with Avalaon Memory Mapped interfaces.
The DDR controller for C2 for is much closer to the transceivers which
connect to the FMCp connector so designs does not have to span over all
three SLRs just over two reducing implementation and timing closure effort.
Minimize skew on synchronous CDC timing paths between clocks originating
from the same MMCM source. (sys_mem_clk and sys_cpu_clk)
This is required mostly by the smart interconnect.
The CLOCK_DELAY_GROUP property must be applied directly to the output net of BUFGs.
Our internal repository was changed from phdl to ghdl. Update the
adi_env.tcl scripts and other scripts, which depends on the $ad_ghdl_dir
variable. This way the tools will see all the internal IPs too.
For all the Xilinx base design, define three global clock nets, which
are saved in the following three global variable: $sys_cpu_clk, $sys_dma_clk
and $sys_iodelay_clk.
These clock nets are connected to different clock sources depending of
the FPGA architecture used on the carrier. In general the following
frequencies are used:
- sys_cpu_clk - 100MHz
- sys_dma_clk - 200MHz or 250Mhz
- sys_iodelay_clk - 200MHz or 500Mhz
Add a clock crossing bridge for the interfaces that runs on a different
clock than the emif_user_clk.
This way we can simplify the main interconnect, and prevent occasional
timing violations.
Create the dacfifo/adcfifo infrastructure with procedures.
This will allow moving the parameters of the dac/adcfifo inside
the block design so it can be calculated based on other parameters.
- remove interrupts from system_top
- for all suported carriers:
- remove all interrupt bd pins
- connect to GND all initial unconnected interrupt pins
- update ad_cpu_interrupt procedure to disconnect a interrupt from GND
before connectiong it to another pin.
