Overview
|

|
|

SpaceWire Light is a SpaceWire encoder-decoder.
|
| 12 |
2 |
jorisvr |
It is synthesizable for FPGA targets (up to 200 Mbit on Spartan-3).
|
| 13 |
6 |
jorisvr |
Application interfaces include a simple FIFO interface, as well as
|
| 14 |
|
|
an AMBA bus interface for LEON3 system-on-chip designs.
|
| 15 |
2 |
jorisvr |
|
| 16 |
|
|
The goal is to provide a complete, reliable, fast implementation
|
| 17 |
6 |
jorisvr |
of a SpaceWire encoder-decoder according to ECSS-E-ST-50-12C.
|
| 18 |
2 |
jorisvr |
The core is "light" in the sense that it does not provide additional
|
| 19 |
|
|
features such as RMAP, routing etc.
|
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |

jorisvr |
SpaceWire Light supports two application interfaces. One interface
|
| 22 |
|
|
provides FIFO-style access to RX/TX buffers in the core (spwstream).
|
| 23 |
|
|
This interface can be easily integrated into most digital designs.
|
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
Alternatively, an AMBA bus interface (spwamba) may be used to integrate
|
| 26 |
|
|
SpaceWire Light into a LEON3 embedded system. This interface supports
|
| 27 |
8 |
jorisvr |
DMA-based data transfers. The code for the AMBA interface depends on GRLIB,
|
| 28 |
7 |
jorisvr |
a VHDL library from Aeroflex Gaisler. The source of GRLIB must be downloaded
|
| 29 |
|
|
separately from http://www.gaisler.com/.

| 65 |
|
|
* spwamba_test.c: Longer delays to run correctly on 100 MHz LEON3.
|
| 66 |
|
|
* spwltest.c: Allow smaller user-defined block size; skip unnecessery tests.
|
| 67 |
|
|
* License changed to allow LGPL in addition to GPL for non-GRLIB parts.

|
|
* spwamba: Add tick_out signal.
|
| 71 |
|
|
* swprecvfront_fast: Simplified data transfer between clock domains.
|
| 72 |
|
|
* Clean up synchronization of data paths between clock domains.

|
| 75 |
|
|
* Add RTEMS driver and test program for SPWAMBA.
|
| 76 |
|
|
* Add documentation for SPWAMBA.
|
| 77 |
|
|
* spwamba: Change TX FIFO management; start new transfer when there is room
|
| 78 |
|
|
for a maximum burst instead of aiming for 3/4 fill rate.
|
| 79 |
|
|
* spwamba: Do not reset spwxmit in response to software reset.
|
| 80 |
|
|
* spwamba: Fix bug in maximum burst size calculation.
|
| 81 |
|
|
* spwamba: Optimize address generation in burst state machine.
|
| 82 |
|
|
* spwamba: More careful calculation of RX credit.

* Add AMBA interface (preliminary version, untested, undocumented).
|
| 86 |
|
|
* License changed from LGPL to GPL.
|
| 87 |
|
|
* Again fix an issue with EEP injection on link loss.
|
| 88 |
|
|
* Add DATAPATHONLY keyword to timing constraints.
|

|
| 91 |
|
|
* Fixed issue with automatic discarding of TX data after link error.
|
| 92 |
|
|
* After link error, spwstream will terminate current packet with EEP even
|
| 93 |
|
|
if the linkdisable signal is active.
|
| 94 |
|
|
* Added code comment to clarify a dependency between spwrecv and spwlink.
|
| 95 |
|
|
(Thanks to Rafael Corsi Ferrao for reporting this obscurity.)
|
| 96 |
|
|
|
| 97 |
|
|
2010-07-12
|
| 98 |
|
|
* Added manual.
|
| 99 |
|
|
* Fix incorrect bitrate during link handshake. The system clock frequency
|
| 100 |
|
|
was used to compute the initial tx clock divider, even when the clock
|
| 101 |
|
|
divider would act on the txclk instead of the system clock.
|
| 102 |
|
|
* Improve fast transmitter. Sending FCT tokens at high bit rate no longer
|
| 103 |
|
|
causes insertion of a NULL token.
|
| 104 |
|
|
|
| 105 |
|
|
2010-06-08
|
| 106 |
|
|
* Initial release.
