In order to help timing closure on multi SLR FPGAs add a pipeline stage
between the link layer and physical layer. This will add a fixed amount
of delay to the overall latency.
This patch will fix the following warning:
[Synth 8-689] width (16) of port connection 'up_axi_awaddr'
does not match port width (12) of module 'up_axi'
The tb_base.v verilog files does not contain a full module definition,
just some plain test code. In general the files is sourced inside the
test bench main module. As is, defining a timescale in these files will
generate an error, because timescale directive can not be inside a
module.
Delete all the timescale directive from these files.
When only one converter is used there is no need for concatenation and
slicer cores. In that case the TPL will connect to port 0 from the
application layer.
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

Add support for 8 bit resolution for the transport layer.
Fix parameter BITS_PER_SAMPLES propagation to all the internal modules, in
several cases this variable was hard coded to 16.
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.
For consistent simulation behavior it is recommended to annotate all source
files with a timescale. Add it to those where it is currently missing.

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
script and the scripts/modes.txt file.

A converter typically only supports a specific subset of framer
configurations.
Add a configuration parameter to select a specific converter part number.
Based on the selected part a mode validation will be performed and if the
selected framer configuration is not supported by the part an error will be
generated.
This helps to catch invalid configurations early on rather than having to
first build the bitstream and then notice that it does not work.
When using "Generic" for the part configuration parameter no validation
will be done and any framer configuration can be selected.

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 NUM_OF_CHANNELS [get_instance_parameter_value jesd204_transport NUM_CHANNELS]
set CHANNEL_DATA_WIDTH [get_instance_parameter_value jesd204_transport CHANNEL_DATA_WIDTH]
add_instance util_dac_upack util_upack
set_instance_parameter_values util_dac_upack [list \
CHANNEL_DATA_WIDTH $CHANNEL_DATA_WIDTH \
NUM_OF_CHANNELS $NUM_OF_CHANNELS \

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.

Only the N (where N is the size of the PN sequence) MSB bits of the reset

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

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.
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

Bit 8 masks the disparity errors, when set to 1
Bit 9 masks the not in table errors when set to 1
Bit 10 masks the unexpected k errors, when set to 1
Unexpected K errors are counted when a character other than k28 is detected. The counter doesn't add errors when in CGS phase

The cfg_links_disable register will mask the SYNC lines, disabled links
will always have a de-asserted SYNC (logic state HIGH).
The FSM will stay in CGS as long as there is one active link with an
asserted SYNC (logic state LOW).
Update the test bench to generate the SYNC signals in different clock
edges, so it can test all the possible scenarios.
A multi-link is a link where multiple converter devices are connected to a
single logic device (FPGA). All links involved in a multi-link are synchronous
and established at the same time. For a TX link this means that the FPGA receives
multiple SYNC signals, one for each link. The state machine of the TX link
peripheral must combine those SYNC signals into a single SYNC signal that is
asserted when either of the external SYNC signals is asserted.
Dynamic multi-link support must allow to select to which converter devices on
the multi-link the SYNC signal is propagated too. This is useful when depending
on the use case profile some converter devices are supposed to be disabled.
Add the cfg_links_disable[0x081] register for multi-link control and
propagate its value to the TX FSM.

For most of the DACs that use JESD204 as the data transport the digital
interface is very similar. They are mainly differentiated by number of
JESD204 lanes, number of converter channels and number of bits per sample.
Currently for each supported converter there exists a converter specific
core which has the converter specific requirements hard-coded.
Introduce a new generic core that has the number of lanes, number of
channels and bits per sample as synthesis-time configurable parameters. It
can be used as a drop-in replacement for the existing converter specific
cores.
This has the advantage of a shared and reduced code base. Code improvements
will automatically be available for all converters and don't have to be
manually ported to each core individually.
It also makes it very easy to introduce support for new converters that
follow the existing schema.
Since the JESD204 framer is now procedurally generated it is also very
easy to support board or application specific requirements where the lane
to converter ratio differs from the default (E.g. use 2 lanes/2 converters
instead of 4 lanes/2 converters).
This new core is primarily based on the existing axi_ad9144.
For the time being the core is not user instantiatable and will only be
used as a based to re-implement the converter specific cores. It will be
extended in the future to allow user instantiation.
