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

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.
Write code to pipeline data path for better DSP utilization on the
color space conversion.
In the old method the addition operations were performed outside the
DSPs
For consistent simulation behavior it is recommended to annotate all source

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]

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.

This patch will fix the following critical warning, generated by Quartus:
"Critical Warning (18061): Ignored Power-Up Level option on the following
registers
Critical Warning (18010): Register ad_rst:i_core_rst_reg|rst_sync will power
up to High File: ad_rst.v Line: 50"
For a proper reset synchronization, the asynchronous reset signal should
be connected to the reset pins of the two synchronizer flop, and the
data input of the first flop should be connected to VCC.
In the first stage we're synchronizing just the reset de-assertion, avoiding
the scenario when different parts of the design are reseting at different time,
causing unwanted behaviours.
In the second stage we're synchronizing the reset assertion.
The module expects an ACTIVE_HIGH input reset signal, and provides an ACTIVE_LOW
(rstn) and an ACTIVE_HIGH (rst) synchronized reset output signal.
- 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
Add parameters:
- to select the sine generator (polynomial/CORDIC)
- to select the CORDIC data width(default 16)
Suppress the warnings generated when the DDS is disabled.

Configurable in/out data width (14,16,18,20);
The HDL implementation requires pipelines, resulting in a
data_width + 2 clock cycles delay between the phase input data and the
sine data. For this reason, a ddata (delay data) was propagated through
the pipeline stages to help in future use scenarios

The DC filter implementation in library/common/dc_filter.v is Xilinx
specific as it uses the Xilinx DSP48 hard-macro. There is a matching Altera
specific implementation in library/altera/common/dc_filter.v.
Move the Xilinx specific implementation from the generic common folder to
the Xilinx specific common folder in library/xilinx/common/ since that is
where all other Xilinx specific common modules reside.

In cases when a shallow FIFO is requested the synthesizer infers distributed RAM
instead of block RAMs. This can be an issue when the clocks of the FIFO are
asynchronous since a timing path is created though the LUTs which implement the
memory, resulting in timing failures. Ignoring timing through the path is not a
solution since would lead to metastability.
This does not happens with block RAMs.
The solution is to use the ad_mem (block RAM) in case of async clocks and letting
the synthesizer do it's job in case of sync clocks for optimal resource utilization.
