ZCU102 + ADRV9009 HDL implementation fail

Hi, 

From what I can see here it seems you have a naming inconsistency. I tried to build the project on my side and it was successful.

I think you missed something when you added the hierarchy blocks. Try building it the way it without the modifications and then apply your changes, so we know where the problem comes from.

Hi,
  
Thanks for the reply. I have modified the design only after the make command(initial stage) have generated bit file. After that in vivado, I have changed. Could it be that the ooc parameter was on during make command but I want to generate the system design output as global and not ooc. If that is the reason, then how can I change the settings in the vivado itself or do I need to create clock in top level .xdc file?

Thank you.

You can use this command  "export ADI_USE_OOC_SYNTHESIS=0" before running make. It should disable the Out of context synthesis. If this does not solve the problem, then maybe you will have to create a clock in the top level xdc file.

OK   , can you give me the clock details as I don't know -period param and the name. Then I can incorporate that in the .xdc file and can try one again.

Thank you

Take a look in the implemented design and see if the path you defined is right.
clock freq is lanerate/40.

  I have tried to compile the design with ooc option as 0 or "n" and there was a failure in make command stating timing constrained not met.

Here is the log file:
adrv9009_zcu102_vivado.log

Thanks.

Hi, 

As far as I know, timing violation error is the reason we are using ooc.

Try to keep the default ooc setting (on) and open the implemented design. There you can find the path and the name of the clock associated with the pin you are looking for.

However, this question is more about how Vivado handles connections and not as much about our design. Maybe take a look at some documentation from Xilinx regarding this problem if you want to learn more about the hierarchical blocks.

Regards.

Hi  . I have implemented with ooc setting as on. As I don't need Tx and Rx OS blocks, I will delete them and then I can try to synthesize and implement the design as global and not as ooc .

There is one more query for which I don't want to open a question. For DMA, I have modified the design to have ddr4_MIG and adi_adcfifo IP block attached to DMAC so that I can retrieve continuously large radio frames. Now, I want to extract, let's say 2 radio frames, from ddr4_MIG continuously and analyse it within FPGA against different parameters. Can you suggest me an IP block such as adi_dacfifio or util_dacfifo which can extract the said amount of radio frames from ddr4_MIG and fed it for analyzing again and again? During extraction of radio frames, there will be no irq request so the ddr4_MIG will have same data.

Thank you for your time.

Regards.

Hello,

At this point we haven't added support for PL DDR on the ZCU102. We typically use ADC_FIFO or Data Offload Engine HDL IP Core [Analog Devices Wiki] to capture data if the bandwidth is higher than the PS DDR can handle, but after that we send it to the PS DDR for processing. I think you have something else in mind.

I think the PS interface for ZCU102 should handle the bandwdith coming from ADRV9009 RX channel, so you should be able to capture more than 1 GB of data. Is that enough for your use case?

If the processing is done in the fabric, you could probably use another DMA to take the data from memory and stream it to your processing IP.

Hi AdrianC , thank you for your reply. I was thinking of a interconnect IP connected to MIG at one end and as subordinates, I  can have axi_adcfifo+DMAC IP cores and as another subordinate ,a xyz IP core(axi_dacfifo or util_xyzfifo), which will get the data from the MIG according to the address. As address will always be from starting of what MIG has and will go till 2 radio frames samples, so the idea is to get a IP core which can generate address, give it to MIG and according deliver the data to for e.g a custom IP core.

I hope, my problem is understandable. Thank you
