Vivado can not apply the IOB TRUE constraint to only one bit of a
registers. So these constraints will generate several CRITICAL WARNING.
Taking into consideration the maximum used frequencies and current
architecture these constraints are not critical.
Initial version of AD5758 SDZ evaluation board support on ZedBoard.
No critical warnings in the Vivado log.
Bitstream generation passing.
Bring-up on actual board not done.
In the latest system_top file we are not bringing out all the interrupt
signals from the block design. Delete all interrupt ports from the
system_wrapper instance.
Following projects were changed:
- AD5766_SDZ
- AD7134_FMC
- AD7616_SDZ
- AD77681EVB
- AD7768EVB
- ADAQ7980
Observation and RX should never run at the same time.
Given that there is no FIFO on the RX and OBS paths, they will use the higheste performance HP ports, which are HP1 and HP2
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
Define a MIMO_ENABLE parameter for the core, which will insert
and additional de-skew logic to prevent timing issues coming from
the clock skew differences of two or multiple AD9361.
Add support for the Arria 10 SoC development kit to the dac_fmc_ebz
project.
This allows to use the following FMC boards on the Arria 10 SoC development
Kit carrier:
* AD9135-FMC-EBZ
* AD9136-FMC-EBZ
* AD9144-FMC-EBZ
* AD9152-FMC-EBZ
* AD9154-FMC-EBZ
* AD9171-FMC-EBZ
* AD9172-FMC-EBZ
* AD9173-FMC-EBZ
Note that the board in its default configuration is not fully compatible with the
mentioned FMC boards and some slight re-work moving some 0 Ohm resistors is
required. The rework concerns the LA01 and LA05 pins, which by default are
not connected to the FPGA. The changes required are:
LA01_P_CC
R612: R0 -> DNI
R610: DNI -> R0
LA01_N_CC
R613: R0 -> DNI
R611: DNI -> R0
LA05_P
R621: R0 -> DNI
R620: DNI -> R0
LA05_N
R633: R0 -> DNI
R632: DNI -> R0
The main differences between AD9144-FMC-EBZ and AD9172-FMC-EBZ are:
* The DAC txen signals are connected to different pins
* The polarity of the spi_en signal is active low instead of active high
* The maximum lane rate is up to 15.4 Gpbs
To accommodate this all 4 possible txen signals as well as the spi_en
signal are connected to GPIOs. Software can decide how to use them
depending on which FMC board is connected.
Note that each carrier has a maximum supported lane rate. Modes of the
AD9172 (and similar) that exceed the carrier specific limit can not be used
on that carrier. The limits are as following:
* A10SoC: 14.2 Gbps
Add a generic project for the AD91xx-FMC-EBZ DAC boards connected to the
ZCU102 and ZC706 carrier boards.
The project is called dac_fmc_ebz as the intention is to support all DAC
FMC evaluation boards with this project since they are sufficiently similar
to be supported by the same design.
This project will successively extended to add support for more boards.
The desired DAC device and JESD operation mode must be selected from the following
file:
./common/config.tcl
This design can support the following FMC boards which are all pin
compatible:
* AD9135-FMC-EBZ
* AD9136-FMC-EBZ
* AD9144-FMC-EBZ
* AD9152-FMC-EBZ
* AD9154-FMC-EBZ
* AD916x-FMC-EBZ
* AD9171-FMC-EBZ
* AD9172-FMC-EBZ
* AD9173-FMC-EBZ
Note that the AD9152-FMC-EBZ only uses the first 4 lanes, whereas all other
boards use 8 lanes.
This project assumes that the transceiver reference clock and SYSREF are
provided via the clock distribution chip that is found on the
ADxxxx-FMC-EBZ board.
In terms of pin connections between the FPGA and the FMC board the
AD9172-FMC-EBZ is very similar to the AD9144-FMC-EBZ.
The main differences are:
* The DAC txen signals are connected to different pins
* The polarity of the spi_en signal is active low instead of active high
* The maximum lane rate is up to 15.4 Gpbs
To accommodate this 5 txctrl signals as well as the spi_en signal are connected
to GPIOs. Software can decide how to use them depending on which FMC board
is connected.
Note that each carrier has a maximum supported lane rate. Modes of the
AD9172 (and similar) that exceed the carrier specific limit can not be used
on that carrier. The limits are as following:
* ZC706: 10.3125 Gbps
* ZCU102: 15.4 Gbps (max AD9172 lanerate)
* SPI and GPIOs to PMOD header support
Connect a SPI interface and some GPIOs to the PL PMOD headers on the zcu102
and zc706 carriers.
This is can be used to control additional external hardware like a clock
chip or an analog front-end.
This is especially useful on FMC boards that do not feature a clock
generator chip.
The pin out is:
PMOD 1: SPI clock
PMOD 2: SPI chipselect
PMOD 3: SPI MOSI
PMOD 4: SPI MISO
PMOD 7: GPIO 0
PMOD 8: GPIO 1
PMOD 9: GPIO 2
PMOD 10: GPIO 3
The GPIOs are mapped at offset 48-51 of the EMIO GPIOs.
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.
The process ad_xcvrcon has a device_clk attribute which can be used to
connect a custom device clock to the XCVR. Fix the proc call so we can
simplify the block design script.

After the previous commit that removed the interconnects from HP ports
in order to reduce utilization. The directly connected DMAs were not
assigned to a specific range and address.
Allow the top level files to have parameters.
Pass the parameters from system_project.tcl to the Vivado/Quartus project and
to the block design scripts through ad_project_params variable.
Usage:
1. create a project with a list of parameters:
adi_project_xilinx my_project [list PARAM_A PARAM_A_VALUE PARAM_B PARAM_B_VALUE]
or
adi_project_altera my_project [list PARAM_A PARAM_A_VALUE PARAM_B PARAM_B_VALUE]
2. access the parameter in QSYS or block design through the $ad_project_params variable
e.g
set PARAM_A $ad_project_params(PARAM_A)
set PARAM_B $ad_project_params(PARAM_B)
3. In system_top.v use PARAM_A and PARAM_B as parameters/generics
Look for undefined clocks which do not show up in the timing summary
therefore can lead to silent failures.
If clocks are not defined they are not analyzed during the timing
checks.
This commit add support for the dual AD9208-DUAL-EBZ board.
The clocking scheme is different from the other projects.
The device clock (LaneRate/40) is no longer an output of the transceivers (RXOUTCLOCK),
it is received directly from the clockchip SCLKOUT9 output through the REFCLK1.
This is needed for deterministic latency where SYSREF must be sampled
with the device clock by meeting setup and hold time.
The two channels from each converter are merged together and transferred to the DDR with a single DMA.
It has all transceiver parameters set for a 15Gpbs lane rate and uses the QPLL.
REQUIRED HARDWARE CHANGES : The F1 2A fuse must be populated on the FMC
board.
Clear the reference checkpoint if the incremental compilation is not
selected through the make option. Other case the scripts will silently
use the reference.dcp checkpoint if that exists.
The scripts are looking for a previous run result, a routed design
checkpoint to use it as a reference during the incremental build flow.
Before clearing the project files, the scrips will save the reference dcp
file in the project folder.
If the reference dcp does not exists the build continues normally.
Proposed workflow:
1. Build your project normally with 'make' or place manually a
reference.dcp file in the Vivado project folder.
2. Do some minor modifications
3. Run the make with the following option:
make MODE=incr
4. Repeat steps 2-3
Using a common IP cache location for all the project will speed up
compile time of common blocks used in base designs. Example a MicroBlaze
core for VCU118 once compiled it will be reused on other projects.
Using a common IP cache will speed up re-compiles of every project in OOC
mode since the cache won't be cleared as with normal compile flow.
Having a clock assigned manually to the clk output pin of the axi_ad9361
let the Vivado timing engine to not ignore the clock insertion delay when
analyzing paths between clk_0 and the manually created clock that has
the same source (clk_0), resulting in timing failure.
In the current form, when connecting a master to the HP ports all
available slave address spaces are mapped to the master (DDR_*, PCIE*, OCM,
QSPI)
Let the PL masters have access only to the DDR_LOW and DDR_HIGH address
spaces to avoid unnecessary resource usage and increase timing margin.
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.

When we improve timing by modifying the implementation strategies,
the general rule of thumb is "less is always more".
Timing did not fail in synthesis, so we leaving the synthesis
strategy in default.
After several parallel runs with various strategies, the
"Performance_Explore" strategy gave the best result for
implementation.
Each individual link of a multi-link has its own sync signal. The top level
sync port that is created by the ad_xcvrcon function is always a single bit
single though.
This results in only the sync signal of the first link being routed while
others are ignored.
To fix this make sure that for multi-link setups the sync port is a vector
port with the width equal to the number of links.

- refclk and refclk_rst were used for ethernet IDELAY, but are not needed anymore
- muxaddr_out pins overlap with regular GPIOs in the Zed base design. The XADC mux GPIOs can be controlled through that. Cusomters that want to directly control the pins through XADC IP must modify the design
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.
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.
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.
Some FMC boards do utilize more than one transceiver quad but do not
necessarily use all transceivers in a quad. On such board is the
AD9694-500EBZ. Which uses two transceivers each in two adjacent quads.
This board can not be supported by instantiating a util_adxcvr with only 4
lanes. Since those 4 lanes would be packed into the same quad. Instead it
it is necessary to instantiate a util_adxcvr with 6 lanes. 4 lanes for the
first quad and 2 for the second.
To still to be able to connect such a util_adxcvr to a link layer with only
4 lanes allow to specify sparse lane mappings. A sparse mapping can have
less lanes than the util_adxcvr and some lanes will be left unconnected.
For example for the AD9694-500EBZ the lane mapping looks like the following:
ad_xcvrcon util_ad9694_xcvr axi_ad9694_xcvr ad9694_jesd {0 1 4 5} rx_device_clk

Sometimes the output clock of the transceiver should not be used for the
device clock.
E.g. for deterministic latency with no uncertainty the device clock needs
to be sourced directly from a clock or transceiver reference clock input
pin.
Add an option to the ad_xcvrcon command to specify the device clock.
In case the same device clock is used for multiple JESD204 links, e.g. a TX
and a RX link only one reset generator is created.

This change adds the TLAST signal to the AXI streaming interface
of the source side for Intel targets.
Xilinx based designs already have this since the tlast is part of the
interface definition.
In order to make the signal optional and let the tool connect a
default value to the it, the USE_TLAST_SRC/DEST parameter is
added to the configuration UI. This conditions the tlast port on
the interface of the DMAC.
Xilinx handles the optional signals much better so the parameter
is not required there.
