2. ATLAS SCT/Pixel TIM FDR/PRR 28 July 2004 Firmware - Matt Warren2 General Firmware written in VHDL –Maintainable. –Support by almost all hardware. –Used by other collaborators. Tools: –Mentor Graphics FPGA Advantage 5.4 –Xilinx ISE 5.2i Firmware structured in blocks similar to the old PLD sub-divisions. Synchronous design principles followed.

3. ATLAS SCT/Pixel TIM FDR/PRR 28 July 2004 Firmware - Matt Warren3 FPGA/Code Structure FPGA1 is the ‘Manager’ –VME Interface –Controls access to local bus –Manages resets –Can re-configure FPGA2’s PROM –Provides status information on FPGA2 etc. FPGA2 is the ‘TIM Function’ –Front Panel Signals –J3 Backplane Signals –Sequencer RAM, ID FIFO’s are internal

5. ATLAS SCT/Pixel TIM FDR/PRR 28 July 2004 Firmware - Matt Warren5 TIM Hardware for Firmware JTAG programmable PROMs used (Xilinx 18V) –FPGAs use Master Serial Mode for loading Lower VME Address Bus (15:1) on both FPGAs –Allows local address decoding Entire VME data-bus available to both FPGAs. –32 bit registers if needed Debug Hardware (see next slide)

6. ATLAS SCT/Pixel TIM FDR/PRR 28 July 2004 Firmware - Matt Warren6 Debug/Expansion Features 16 line dedicated spare lines between FPGAs. 16 line dedicated debug lines per FPGA –Connected to header – logic-analyser access –8 debug lines/FPGA connected to SMD LEDs Mode/Debug hex-switch connected to both FPGAs –minor changes in operation without downloading new code (e.g. LEDs map). ROD Busy LEDs on front-panel available to code. PCB version ID readable by FPGAs Enough resources to add extra functions –e.g. Fixed Frequency Veto (more later)

8. ATLAS SCT/Pixel TIM FDR/PRR 28 July 2004 Firmware - Matt Warren8 Outstanding code I2C interface to TTCrx –Works on TIM-2, so low priority System for re-configuring FPGA2 from software –Firmware very ‘dumb’ – software will do the work. Finalise Fixed Frequency Trigger Veto System –No big changes – just need iterate over best style of operation with community.

9. ATLAS SCT/Pixel TIM FDR/PRR 28 July 2004 Firmware - Matt Warren9 Simulation Components Simulated using ModelSim Most simulation fast enough to be carried out on the whole FPGA level The VME interface was tested across both FPGAs including models of the external bus-transceivers. Simulations are controlled via the bus interface. Procedures have were written to do bus-like reads/writes. These allowed routines similar to those in the test software to be used.
