The constraint for the synchronizer that synchronizes the sync_status
signal of the link only works correctly for the first link. For other links
no timing exception is applied, which leads to timing failures.
Fix this by using a wildcard constraint for the synchronizer reg number.

If DDS_DW is equal to DDS_D_DW there is no signal truncation and
consequentially no rounding should be performed. But the check whether
rounding should be performed currently is for if DDS_DW is less or equal to
DDS_D_DW.
When both are equal C_T_WIDTH is 0. This results in the expression
'{(C_T_WIDTH){dds_data_int[DDS_D_DW-1]}};' being a 0 width signal. This is
not legal Verilog, but both the Intel and Xilinx tools seem to accept it
nevertheless.
But the iverilog simulation tools generates the following error:
ad_dds_2.v:102: error: Concatenation repeat may not be zero in this context.
Xilinx Vivado also generates the following warning:
WARNING: [Synth 8-693] zero replication count - replication ignored [ad_dds_2.v:102]
Change the condition so that truncation is only performed when DDS_DW is
less than DDS_D_DW. This fixes both the error and the warning.

The DISPLAY_NAME of a module is supposed to be a short human readable
description of the IP core.
Currently this is set to the name of the IP, which already has its own
property called NAME.
This causes Platform Designer to display the descriptive labels if the IP
core basically as "$ip_core_name ($ip_core_name)".
The value that all current user of ad_ip_create pass for the description
parameter matches this criteria (And not so much the requirements for the
actual DESCRIPTION property).
Change things, so that the DISPLAY_NAME property is set to what is
currently passed as the description parameter.

In default strategy we having a few path with small negative slack inside of
the MIG, due to the high UI clock (300MHz).
This new strategy solves this issue.
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
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.

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

For this group the configuration parameters by function, provide

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.

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.
