If one or more ADCs are misaligned (off by one clock) corresponding 8 bits will read "00", i.e. 0xFF00FFFF if the 3rd ADC is misaligned. this misalignement is corrected by resetting the ADC and the serdes (via SPI and bit 14 in ag_ctrl_d), by changing the phase matching fifo clock polarity (bit 12 in ag_ctrl_d) or by enabling the 1-clock delay in bits 3..0 of ag_ctrl_d. beware that using only pattern 4 one can become off by 2 clocks, use pattern 5 to guard against this). If one individual channel is out of alignment, it's bit will be zero, i.e. 0xFFFFFF7F if last channel of first ADC is misaligned. this is corrected by reset of ADC, reset of serdes or change of phase matching fifo clock polarity.

* verify ADC serdes receive clock is correctly defined, verify signals after serdes is not tangled with non-receive-clock clocks.
* simplify code between ADC serdes and phase fifo, replace 7-to-14 bit shift register with a mux.
* update DAC control
* connect grand-or of trigger discriminators to DAC output (with a 48-bit channel-enable mask)
* verify that trigger discriminator fires on both positive and negative pulses (positive and negative thresholds)

ag.stat_d

status of the adc32 data test pattern

bits Rev Quartus name Description
31..0 2020 adc32_wf_pattern4_ok_bits status of ADC test pattern 4 (alternating 0xAAAA and 0x5555). if test pattern is off, should read 0. otherwise, if all channels are correctly aligned, should read 0xFFFFFFFF. If one or more ADCs are misaligned (off by one clock) corresponding 8 bits will read "00", i.e. 0xFF00FFFF if the 3rd ADC is misaligned. this misalignement is corrected by resetting the ADC and the serdes (via SPI and bit 14 in ag_ctrl_d), by changing the phase matching fifo clock polarity (bit 12 in ag_ctrl_d) or by enabling the 1-clock delay in bits 3..0 of ag_ctrl_d. beware that using only pattern 4 one can become off by 2 clocks, use pattern 5 to guard against this). If one individual channel is out of alignment, it's bit will be zero, i.e. 0xFFFFFF7F if last channel of first ADC is misaligned. this is corrected by reset of ADC, reset of serdes or change of phase matching fifo clock polarity.

Data format

Version 1

  • note: the first two bytes of data (packet_cnt[15:0]) are removed from the UDP packet by the udp_payload_inserter block.
  • note: CRC16 is not implemented
  • PACKET_TYPE = 1
  • PACKET_VERSION = 1
  • stat_trig_accepted is the trigger counter
  • hw_id is the ethernet MAC address
  • fw_id is the sof file build timestamp
  • r_timestamp is 64 bits wide trigger timestamp
  • r_timestamp runs at 125 MHz
  • trigger_offset: trig_delay-wf_trig_point. trig_delay is from ESPER ch_trig_delay. trig_point is from ESPER ch_trig_point
  • module_id: from ESPER board/module_id
  • ch_type: from ESPER adc16&fmc32/ch_type
  • CH_ID: channel number 0..15 for adc16 and 0..31 for fmc32
  • sample_cnt: from ESPER ch_stop_point
  • crc_value (not implemented)
S1_HEADER0: { packet_cnt[15:0], PACKET_TYPE[7:0], PACKET_VERSION[7:0] }; // determine total size (used by UDP offloader, does not appear in final packet!
S2_HEADER1: { stat_trig_accepted[15:0], hw_id[47:32] }; // MSB MAC Address
S3_HEADER2: { hw_id[31:0] };	// LSB MAC Address
S4_HEADER3: { fw_id[31:0] }; // build timestamp (acts as FW version)
S5_HEADER4: { {(32-(SZ_TIMESTAMP-32)){1'b0}},r_timestamp[(SZ_TIMESTAMP-1) : 32] };
S6_HEADER5: { r_timestamp[31:0] };
S7_HEADER6: { trigger_offset[31:0] };
S8_HEADER7: { module_id[7:0], ch_type, CH_ID[6:0], 4'h0, sample_cnt[11:0] };			
S11_DATA:   { wf_data[15:0], wf_data[31:16] }; // data words
//S14_CRC16:{ crc_value, 16'h0 }; // not implemented

Version 2

  • PACKET_TYPE = 1
  • PACKET_VERSION = 2
  • all other header words are the same as version 1 data.

Differences from version 1 data:

  • after adding the udp length prepender block from the PWB project, all data words generated by the state machine are sent out. in version 1 data, the first 2 bytes (udp packet length) were "eaten" by the udp data offloader block.
  • the last word of data contains data suppression information. in version 1 data it contains normal adc samples.
  • ch_ctrl_supp_enable: 0=data suppression disabled, 1=enabled
  • keep_bit: at least one adc data sample is above the data suppression threshold
  • keep_last: last data word where adc data was above data suppression threshold. number of adc sample words sent is keep_last + keep_more. keep_more is set in registers ag_ctrl_a and ag_ctrl_b.
  • supp_baseline: waveform baseline computed from the first 64 adc samples.
S1_HEADER0: { PACKET_TYPE[7:0], PACKET_VERSION[7:0], PACKET_TYPE[7:0], PACKET_VERSION[7:0] };
S2_HEADER1: // same as version 1 data
S3_HEADER2: // ..
S4_HEADER3: // ..
S5_HEADER4: // ..
S6_HEADER5: // ..
S7_HEADER6: // ..
S8_HEADER7: // ..
S11_DATA:    { wf_data[15:0], wf_data[31:16] };
S12_FOOTER0: { wf_data[15:0], wf_data[31:16] };
S13_FOOTER1: { 1'b1, 1'b1, ch_ctrl_supp_enable, keep_bit, keep_last[11:0], supp_baseline[15:0] };

Version 3

  • PACKET_TYPE = 1
  • PACKET_VERSION = 3
  • if keep_bit is 0, only the first 3 header words and the footer are sent out.
  • the meaning of all data fields is the same as version 1 and version 2 data.
S1_HEADER0: { PACKET_TYPE[7:0], PACKET_VERSION[7:0], stat_trig_accepted[15:0]};
S2_HEADER1: { module_id[7:0], ch_type, CH_ID[6:0], 4'h0, sample_cnt[11:0] };
S3_HEADER2: { r_timestamp[31:0] };
S4_HEADER3: { 16'h0000, hw_id[47:32] }; // MSB MAC Address
S5_HEADER4: { hw_id[31:0] };	// LSB MAC Address
S6_HEADER5: { {(32-(SZ_TIMESTAMP-32)){1'b0}},r_timestamp[(SZ_TIMESTAMP-1) : 32] };
S7_HEADER6: { trigger_offset[31:0] };
S8_HEADER7: { fw_id[31:0] }; // build timestamp (acts as FW version)
S11_DATA:   { wf_data[15:0], wf_data[31:16] }; // data words
S13_FOOTER1: { 1'b1, 1'b1, ch_ctrl_supp_enable, keep_bit, keep_last[11:0], supp_baseline[15:0] };

TODO

  • (DONE) add esper block from pwb to show ethernet pause frames
  • (DONE) implement waveform suppression
  • (DONE) add esper counters for adc16 and adc32 discriminator grand-or
  • (DONE) enable HTTP "connection-keep-alive"
  • (DONE) add more control and status registers in the "AG" module
  • (DONE) fix problem with adc16 channels not sending any data, fpga reboot does not fix this (needs power cycle to fix it?)
  • (DONE) investigate counter for: Dropped Triggers Due to Full [cnt_trig_dfull] [0]
  • (DONE) see this: all adc16 trigger counters stop after 63 events, except for one that keeps counting, I suspect the 16->1 packet mux is getting stuck?
  • (DONE) investigate: when approaching 100 Mbytes/sec 1gige ethernet limit, channels start getting stuck in the "dropped due to busy" state until remaining channels can still send data, "dropped due to full" never truely increment as one would expect in this situation.
  • verify ADC serdes receive clock is correctly defined, verify signals after serdes is not tangled with non-receive-clock clocks.
  • simplify code between ADC serdes and phase fifo, replace 7-to-14 bit shift register with a mux.
  • update DAC control
  • connect grand-or of trigger discriminators to DAC output (with a 48-bit channel-enable mask)
  • verify that trigger discriminator fires on both positive and negative pulses (positive and negative thresholds)
  • add provision for coded trigger signal
  • update TRG link
  • verify that ADC SYNC works
  • add more status registers in the "AG" module
  • add independant pulser for the DAC output. program the firing rate, then start immediately or after first esata "sync" signal
