This adds the NIPC parameter, which configures support for processing
multiple items or samples per clock cycle. With this enabled, the FFT
block can process at rates higher than 250 MSPS, such as 500 MSPS and
beyond.
This replaces the legacy RFNoC FFT block with a new one of the same
name that includes a superset of the original features. New features
include cyclic prefix insertion or removal and FFT sizes up to 64k.
The underlying Xilinx CORDIC IP uses 2 bits for the whole part of its
(X,Y) inputs and its magnitude output. So, having 17 bits means we have
enough precision to represent the entire range of an sc16. The 16-bit
CORDIC is insufficient to cover this entire range.
This simplifies image core files by generating a RADIO_NIPC parameter
for the X410, X440 and E31x BSP files. The IO port widths for X410 are
now dynamically widened based on the NIPC value, which is a function of
the RF_BW parameter, and cannot be modified.
The radio block can now read the NIPC value from the BSP, and populate
its spc parameter dynamically. This avoids having to know the right spc
value when writing YAML image core files and reduces redundancy.
This also removes the RADIO_NIPC parameter entirely from all the image
core files. This parameter was fine, but it was a bit confusing because
it referenced a Verilog parameter, which you just had to know was there
in the generated Verilog. By referencing the BSP parameter instead, the
YAML files (BSP, radio.yml, and image core file) are now self-contained
regarding the RADIO_NIPC/spc information.
As a minor upside, the input wire widths for X410's and N310's
rfnoc_image_core.sv module are now generated with the correct widths,
and not, as before, with the worst-case width (and then we assume Vivado
will do the right thing).
... to support custom image core name, example:
rfnoc_image_builder -y n310_rfnoc_image_core.yml -n my_custom_name
The device tree source files were renamed to match the target
name used in the Makefile.
example:
old: dts/usrp_n310_fpga_hg.dts
new: dts/N310_HG.dts
The source file is used to compile the final .dts file in the BUILD_DIR.
example: build-my_custom_name/N310_HG.dts
The final .dts file is copied to the BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR as part of the
post build steps and renamed to the custom image core name.
example: build/my_custom_name.dts
This completes the change that was introduced with commit 2afc66f132.
Adapted changeset analyzer rules change 99865b1, which renamed the
folder host/python/uhd/imgbuilder to host/python/uhd/rfnoc_utils.
This change was made in the "RFNoC OOT overhaul + rfnoc_modtool"
changeset.
