Replaces the in-house iterative fft_engine.v in the matched-filter chain
with the Pipelined Streaming Xilinx FFT IP, closing RX-NEW-3 (FFT chain
~11x too slow vs PRI budget).
Components:
* ip/xfft_2048_ip/xfft_2048_ip.xci — committed IP definition
(16-bit fixed point, BFP scaling, convergent rounding, natural order,
pipelined-streaming, BRAM data/reorder/phase factors). Vivado
regenerates .dcp / sim-netlist from this on each build.
* scripts/50t/gen_xfft_2048_ip.tcl — IP-Catalog generation script
* scripts/50t/run_xfft_xsim.sh — XSim batch runner for tb_xfft_2048_xsim
* xfft_2048.v — AXI-Stream wrapper. FFT_USE_XILINX_IP define routes to
real LogiCORE for synth/XSim; falls back to fft_engine batched
one-shot for iverilog (unit coverage only).
* fft_engine_axi_bridge.v — exposes legacy fft_engine port surface on
top of the xfft_2048 AXI wrapper, so the chain swap is a 1-line
module-name change.
* matched_filter_processing_chain.v — fft_engine -> fft_engine_axi_bridge
* scripts/50t/build_50t.tcl — read_ip + generate_target + synth_ip;
adds FFT_USE_XILINX_IP to verilog defines.
* tb/tb_xfft_2048_xsim.v — XSim verification (DC, impulse, tone bin 128).
All 5 assertions PASS on remote with the real IP; tuser=0x0a (BLK_EXP=10)
confirms BFP scaling working.
Local iverilog regression: 32/34 PASS — identical to baseline. Same two
RX-NEW-3 failures (Receiver Integration, Matched Filter Chain) — these
only resolve in remote XSim with the real IP, since iverilog uses the
fft_engine fallback inside xfft_2048 (~150K cycles/pass, not the
~2200-cycle Pipelined Streaming throughput). MF cosim 4/4 PASS confirms
bridge bit-exact in fallback mode.
Pending: remote XSim of tb_radar_receiver_final to demonstrate Doppler
frames produced within PRI budget; remote synth to confirm DSP/timing
post-IP.
C4 is an SRCC pin (IS_CLK_CAPABLE=1, IS_MASTER=0 in the Vivado device
model), not an MRCC as earlier comments claimed. SRCC cannot drive BUFG
through dedicated routing, so the previous CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE=FALSE
override forced fabric routing and burned ~5 ns on the ft_clkout path
(WNS -5.362 ns in the d36a4c9 build).
Swap to BUFIO + BUFR for USB_MODE=1 (50T/FT2232H): SRCC → BUFIO → BUFR
is the standard 7-series path for regional clock distribution. All
ft_clkout-domain logic (FT2232H FSM, toggle CDCs, USB FIFO flops) is
contained in bank 35 / one clock region, so regional distribution is
sufficient. USB_MODE=0 (200T/FT601) keeps the BUFG because D17 is a
proper MRCC pin.
Removed CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE=FALSE from both the XDC and the build
script — no longer needed with dedicated BUFIO/BUFR routing.
- Add set_false_path -hold for source-synchronous ADC IDDR paths in
adc_clk_mmcm.xdc (eliminates 8 hold violations from build 12)
- Add DDR falling-edge input delay constraints to xc7a50t_ftg256.xdc
(parity with 200T XDC)
- Reorganize scripts/ into target subdirectories: 50t/, 200t/, te0712/,
te0713/, utils/ so users can run the correct build for their hardware
- Delete obsolete build scripts (build17-20) superseded by build_50t/200t
- Update project_root paths in all moved scripts (.. -> ../..)
