Parameters:top – A VerilogModule instance, defining the top-level of an HDL design into which this block should instantiate itself.

xsg

class yellow_blocks.xsg.xsg(blk, platform, hdl_root=None)[source]

An xsg YellowBlock class, representing a CASPER “platform” block. I.e., the block which specifies which platform you are compiling for, and which clock (or other) compile-time settings you want to use.

Uses 2 attributes from the front end block configuration (in addition to the “platform” attribute which all YellowBlocks have access to): “clk_rate” (float): The clock rate, in MHz, the compile is targeting for the DSP pipeline. “clk_src” (string): The clock source (eg. “sys_clk”, “adc0_clk”, etc.) used to run the DSP pipeline.

This block is a little unlike other YellowBlocks – it has 3 jobs:

  1. Add a requirement – “self.requires.append(…)” – for a block in the design to provide – “self.provides.append(…)” – four clock phases:

    self.clk_src self.clk_src + “90” self.clk_src + “180” self.clk_src + “270”

    Probably, these clocks will be provided by the platform-specific block instantiated as a child of this block (see 3. below). Whichever block provides them must create signals with these names in the top-level verilog.

  2. Create wires in the top-level verilog desing, and assign the above clock signals to the new names: “user_clk” “user_clk90” “user_clk180” “user_clk270” This allows modules in the design to use these clock names, without requiring any knowledge about where they are coming from (eg. sys_clk, an ADC clock, etc). NOTE: Since this block instantiates clocks with these names, you MUST NOT use user_clkX signals elsewhere in your design.

  3. Instantiate a child YellowBlock, with identical parameters to this block, but with the class name self.platform.name. This is probably the instance you want to use to generate your custom clocks (eg, sys_clk, sys_clk90, …), so this block should add these signals to top-level verilog, and also “provide” them using the YellowBlock.provides mechanism.

gen_children()[source]

The toolflow will try to allow blocks to instantiate other blocks themselves, by calling this method. Override it in your subclass if you need to use this functionality.

yellow_block

class yellow_blocks.yellow_block.YellowBlock(blk, platform, hdl_root=None)[source]

A yellow block object encodes all the information necessary to instantiate a piece of IP in an existing HDL base package.

  • which verilog modules need to be instantiated.
  • which instances need to be connected by signals
  • which ports of the instance need to be promoted to top-level
  • what is the type of these ports (for the constraints file)
  • is the device a slave on a CPU bus
  • if so, how much address space does it need?
  • what features does this block provide the rest of the system, e.g. clock sources
  • what fixed resources does this block use (e.g. QDR chip / ZDOK interface)

All the HDL related stuff is dealt with by the verilog module class, so we just need to add bus / memory space requirements and define what resources the block uses and provisions.

__init__(blk, platform, hdl_root=None)[source]

Finally, call the class’s check_support() method, to verify that the block and platform chosen are compatible.

Parameters:
  • blk – A jasper-standard dictionary containing block information. Key/value pairs in this dictionary are copied to attributes of this instance.
  • platform – A Platform object representing the platform type.
  • hdl_root (Optional) – The path to a directory containing all hdl code necessary to instantiate this block. This root directory is used as a base from which block’s source files are defined. If None (default), will default to the system’s HDL_ROOT environment variable.
add_build_dir_source()[source]

This function is neccessary as yellow blocks dont have access to the build directory when they want to add a source file that is not in hdl_lib this function can be used. Generate a list of dictionaries containing files/directories relative to the build_dir, which will be added to the sources of the project. to the project.

Eg.: []

{‘files’: ‘xml2vhdl_hdl_output/’, – this can be a directory or a file ‘library’ : ‘work’} – this is only used if the file needs to be included under a library (vhdl only) for verilog use ‘’

]

Parameters:top – A VerilogModule instance, defining the top-level of the user’s design.

Returns: A new VerilogModule instance, definining the top-level of the user’s design.

A unique typecode indicating the type of yellow block this is. See yellow_block_typecodes.py. This code gets baked into a memory-map in the FPGA binary, and allows embedded software to figure out what type of devices are on the CPU bus.

yellow_block_typecodes

Here lie device typecode definitions. These codes get baked into toolflow-generate firmware can be used by embedded software to determine what types of devices are present on the CPU bus at different memory locations.

For example, a typical use case would be:

  1. MicroBlaze wakes up on programming a board
  2. Microblaze looks for an Ethernet core in the running firmware by searching for something in the firmware’s memory map with typecode TYPECODE_ETHCORE.
  3. MicroBlaze manipulates this device so as to talk to the outside world.

Values chosen are non-critical, but should be unique, and <256.
