Overview
22
--------
23
 
24 6 jorisvr
SpaceWire Light is a SpaceWire encoder-decoder.
25 2 jorisvr
It is synthesizable for FPGA targets (up to 200 Mbit on Spartan-3).
26 6 jorisvr
Application interfaces include a simple FIFO interface, as well as
27
an AMBA bus interface for LEON3 system-on-chip designs.
28 2 jorisvr
 
29
The goal is to provide a complete, reliable, fast implementation
30 6 jorisvr
of a SpaceWire encoder-decoder according to ECSS-E-ST-50-12C.
31 2 jorisvr
The core is "light" in the sense that it does not provide additional
32
features such as RMAP, routing etc.
33
 
34 7 jorisvr
SpaceWire Light supports two application interfaces. One interface
35
provides FIFO-style access to RX/TX buffers in the core (spwstream).
36
This interface can be easily integrated into most digital designs.
37
 
38
Alternatively, an AMBA bus interface (spwamba) may be used to integrate
39
SpaceWire Light into a LEON3 embedded system. This interface supports
40 8 jorisvr
DMA-based data transfers. The code for the AMBA interface depends on GRLIB,
41 7 jorisvr
a VHDL library from Aeroflex Gaisler. The source of GRLIB must be downloaded
42
separately from http://www.gaisler.com/.

Version history
48
---------------
49
 
50 7 jorisvr
2011-02-11
51
 * spwamba: Add tick_out signal.
52
 * swprecvfront_fast: Simplified data transfer between clock domains.
53
 * Clean up synchronization of data paths between clock domains.
54
 
55 6 jorisvr
2010-12-03
56
 * Add RTEMS driver and test program for SPWAMBA.
57
 * Add documentation for SPWAMBA.
58
 * spwamba: Change TX FIFO management; start new transfer when there is room
59
   for a maximum burst instead of aiming for 3/4 fill rate.
60
 * spwamba: Do not reset spwxmit in response to software reset.
61
 * spwamba: Fix bug in maximum burst size calculation.
62
 * spwamba: Optimize address generation in burst state machine.
63
 * spwamba: More careful calculation of RX credit.
64
 
65
2010-09-21
66 5 jorisvr
 * Add AMBA interface (preliminary version, untested, undocumented).
67
 * License changed from LGPL to GPL.
68
 * Again fix an issue with EEP injection on link loss.
69
 * Add DATAPATHONLY keyword to timing constraints.
70

2010-09-12
72
 * Fixed issue with automatic discarding of TX data after link error.
73
 * After link error, spwstream will terminate current packet with EEP even
74
   if the linkdisable signal is active.
75
 * Added code comment to clarify a dependency between spwrecv and spwlink.
76
   (Thanks to Rafael Corsi Ferrao for reporting this obscurity.)
77
 
78
2010-07-12
79
 * Added manual.
80
 * Fix incorrect bitrate during link handshake. The system clock frequency
81
   was used to compute the initial tx clock divider, even when the clock
82
   divider would act on the txclk instead of the system clock.
83
 * Improve fast transmitter. Sending FCT tokens at high bit rate no longer
84
   causes insertion of a NULL token.
85
 
86
2010-06-08
87
 * Initial release.
