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.

Some modes produce only one sample per channel per beat, e.g. when M=2*L.
In this case the pattern output needs to alternate between the two patterns
from beat to beat.

All channels have a copy of the same logic to generate the PN sequences.
Sharing the PN sequence generator among all channels slightly reduces the
resource utilization of the core.

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.

Remove unused register from the ad_ip_jesd204_tpl_dac_channel module.
Commit commit 92f0e809b5 ("jesd204/ad_ip_jesd204_tpl_dac: Updates for
ad_dds phase acc wrapper") removed all users of those registers.

All parameters are DAC related since this is a peripheral that handles
DACs. Having DAC as a prefix on some of the parameter names is a bit
redundant, so remove them.

Use a relative path for all IP local files. This is the common style
throughout the HDL repository and also makes it easier to move the
directory around.

Add support for specifying a set of parameter value pairs when
instantiating an IP core to the ad_ip_instance command. This has the
convenience of not having to repeatedly call ad_ip_parameter with the name
of the core that got just created for each parameter that needs to be set.
It is also useful for cases where some parameters have mutually exclusive
values and both (or more) have to be set at the same time.
This also slightly speeds things up. Whenever a parameter is changed the
core needs to be updated and post configuration scripts might run. When
setting all parameters at the same time this only happens once instead of
once for each parameter.
For example the following sequence
ad_ip_instance axi_dmac axi_ad9136_dma
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_TYPE_SRC 0
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_TYPE_DEST 1
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_DATA_WIDTH_SRC 64
ad_ip_parameter axi_ad9136_dma CONFIG.DMA_DATA_WIDTH_DEST 256
can now be replaced with
ad_ip_instance axi_dmac axi_ad9136_dma [list \
DMA_TYPE_SRC 0 \
DMA_TYPE_DEST 1 \
DMA_DATA_WIDTH_SRC 64 \
DMA_DATA_WIDTH_DEST 256 \
]

The loopback on the unused gpio inputs consumes routing resources
while does not gives any value for the software.
Connect these lines to zero instead.
Some projects use the ad_iobuf on IOs that are not bidirectional
producing synthesis warnings.
The change fixes warnings like:
[Synth 8-6104] Input port 'gpio_bd_i' has an internal driver
[Synth 8-6104] Input port 'gpio_status' has an internal driver
- connect unused GPIO inputs to loopback
- connect unconnected inputs to zero
- complete interface for system_wrapper instantiated in all system_top
fixes incomplet portlist WARNING [Synth 8-350]
fixes undriven inputs WARNING [Synth 8-3295]
The change excludes the generated system.v and Xilinx files.
- 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.
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.
Just one VCC or GND xlconstant will be generated for each width. This
way we can avoid having a lot of xlconstant instances with the same
configuration.
