18.2 Example

The following topics describe how to implement a complete PolarFire design using Microchip Design Separation methodology.

The design consists of six subsystems defined in Verilog:
  • block1.v
  • block2.v
  • block3.v
  • block4.v
  • pf_smip.v

  • PF_CCC_C0.v

The following figure shows a top-level view of these subsystems with interconnects between them.
Figure 18-12. Top-Level View of Example Design
???

This design is implemented using the design separation methodology steps defined in Design Separation Methodology Steps.

Note: To understand the design flow and floorplanning terminology in the following topics, see the Libero SoC Design Flow and Chip Planner help topics in Libero.

18.2.1 Creating HDL Subsystems

The first step when implementing a complete system using Microchip Design Separation methodology is to achieve logical separation of various subsystems. Create logically separate HDL modules corresponding to the system.

    This example defines the following subsystems:
    • block1.v
    • block2.v
    • block3.v
    • block4.v
    • pf_smip.v
    • PF_CCC_C0.v
    These subsystems are independent of each other. They communicate with each other using the interconnect signals. To begin with creating the HDL subsystem, follow these steps:
  1. After you identify the subsystems to be implemented using design separation, import these modules into a Libero project.
  2. Create a new Libero project for the FPGA device chosen for the design. In this example, the design using a MPF300TS, 484 FCVG device is implemented. Import the HDL files using File > Import > HDL Source file menu into the Libero Project.
  3. Create a Block for each subsystem of this design.

18.2.2 Creating Blocks

The next step is to create a Block for each subsystem of this design.

  1. Select a module to be the root module. For example, select block4 as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 18-13. Selecting a Module as the Root of a Block
  2. Use Project > Project Settings > Design Flow > Enable Block Creation to enable Block flow for this module, as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 18-14. Project Settings for Block Creation
    The Publish Block option is enabled in the design flow, as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 18-15. Publish Block Option Enabled in the Design
  3. If a Block requires physical I/O resources, specify explicit instantiation of I/O resources. All logic within the Microchip Design Separation methodology must be incorporated within an isolated region. Therefore, you must associate all physical I/O resources with an isolated region. You can insert I/Os through direct instantiation or through insertion of I/O buffers using SmartDesign.
    This example uses the Catalog in SmartDesign to insert I/Os to top-level signals. block4 subsystem has following port list:
    • CLK , RESETN , RX, dataIn: Top-level input signals
    • DataOut: Top-level output signals
    • TX , Y_0: IRS signals to block1
    • Y: IRS signals to block2
  4. Because each Block should have I/Os inserted for its top-level I/O signals, insert I/O ports to the top-level signals of this subsystem.
  5. Create a SmartDesign with the name block4. Instantiate the COREAPB3, COREGPIO, and MIV_RV32IMC components into block4.
  6. For each top-level output signal, assign an OUTBUF macro. This instantiates a single I/O port for each of the signals. The output signal DataOut has a width of 32 bits.
    Figure 18-16. Macros in the Catalog Window.
  7. After you instantiate all required I/O macros, rename them to a unique name and connect these I/O pads to respective ports of block4 instance.
  8. Since DataOut, TX, Y, and Y_0 are interconnected signals, right-click the ports and promote them to the top.

    The following figure shows the schematics of the block4 SmartDesign component.

    Figure 18-17. SmartDesign Component for block4 Subsystem along with I/Os
  9. Generate block4, set this module as the root module, and enable Block creation for this module as described in the previous section.
  10. Publish the Block.

18.2.3 Publishing the Block

After you create the module with I/Os inserted, publish the Block. Run Synthesis, and compile the subsystem (or its wrapper SmartDeisgnor HDL component). You can check for timing closure on the Block. Publish the Block without place-and-route information.

  1. For block4, run Synthesis.
  2. Disable Publish Placement and Publish Routing information in Publish Block > Configure Options, as shown in the following figure. Publish the block.
    Note: Placement and routing information is not needed until the Block is integrated with the top-level project. Enabling these options results in a longer Compile cycle.

  3. Figure 18-18. Publishing the Block without Placement and Routing Information
    ???
    The following figure shows the state of the completed design flow after you publish the Block.
    Figure 18-19. Completed Block Flow along with Resource Usage from Compile
    ???

    Publishing a Block creates a <block_name>.cxz file in the <project_path>/designer/<block_name>/export directory.

    For the preceding subsystem, Libero creates the block4.cxz file in the export directory under the designer directory of the Project location, as shown in the following figure.

    Figure 18-20. Published Block as .cxz file in Export Directory
    ???
  4. Repeat this procedure for the other four subsystems, and then publish Blocks for each of them. Use the Block names shown in the following table.
    SubsystemBlock Name

    block1

    block1

    block2

    block2

    block3

    block3

    pf_smip

    pf_smip

  5. Create a top-level design.

18.2.4 Creating a Top-level Design

After you published the subsystem Blocks, create a new Libero project for the top-level design. Create a SmartDesign block where you instantiate all the individual blocks and connect their IRS signals. This example writes a top-level module SD_Top.v that instantiates these Blocks along with required interconnects. The following shows an example description of the top-level SD_Top module.

  1. Set the top-level module as the root module, and import all Blocks (<block_name>.cxz files) using File > Import > Blocks in Libero. The following figure shows Design Hierarchy of the top-level SD_Top module with all Blocks instantiated.

  2. For this module, uncheck the boxes for Enable block creation and Enable synthesis (in Project Settings) and check Enable Design Separation Methodology, as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 18-22. Project Settings for the Top-level Design
    ???
  3. Assign each Block of the design to a separation region.

18.2.5 Floorplanning Design with Separation Regions

Each Block of the design must be assigned to a separation region. You can define separation regions in Chip Planner or use a PDC file. For more information about floorplanning a design using Chip Planner, see the Libero online help.

This example defines a separation region using Chip Planner for instance block4_0, which corresponds to the block4 Block.
  1. Open Chip Planner from Manage Constraints > Floor Planner > Edit in the Design Flow window, as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 18-23. Opening Chip Planner
  2. Create a separation region for each Block according to the estimate obtained from the resource usage reports.
    FloorPlanning with Design Separation Regions shows a sample floorplan for the design. This example creates an exclusive routing region constraint for instance block4_0, as shown in the following figure. You can define the region type to be inclusive if a top-level global instance needs to be placed within the same region.
    Figure 18-24. Creating an Exclusive Routing Region
    ???
  3. Create separation regions for all blocks of the design. Then assign Block instances to the respective separation region. For this example, the floorplan resembles the following figure.
    Figure 18-25. Floorplan of Design with Separation Regions Defined
    ???
  4. After you create separation regions corresponding to the Blocks, create IRS regions for each set of connections between the Blocks. In the example, block1_0 connects to IBR1_2 and IBR1_2 connects to block2_0. Consequently, define the remaining three sets of IRS regions.
    IRS region is an inclusive routing region that is created in a similar way as the separation regions. The following figure show an example of an IRS region for instances block1_0 to IBR1_2.
    Figure 18-26. Creating an IRS Region Between Two Blocks
    ???
  5. Assign valid IRS net macros to the respective IRS regions.
    A complete floorplan of the example design resembles the following figure.
    Figure 18-27. Complete Floorplan of Design
    ???
    The separation between each region should be at least equal to the required number of clusters to satisfy the separation criteria.
    The following shows a sample PDC file that can be used to implement the preceding floorplan. The regions are defined with -route true to constrain routing. Separation regions are assigned by their highest level hierarchy name using the assign_region command. IRS nets are assigned with wildcards using the assign_net_macros command.

  6. Complete place-and-route.

18.2.6 Complete Place-and-Route

After you complete the floorplan, edit the timing constraints and run place-and-route until you achieve timing closure on the design.

18.2.7 Configure Security Settings and Generate the Programming File

After you complete place-and-route, extract the design information to execute MSVT.

  1. Navigate to Configure Security > Configure Options > Debug Policy and configure the security and programming options per system requirements, as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 18-28. Security Settings Before Programming
    ???
  2. Export the programming file from Program Design > Export FlashPro Express Job.
    A programming file and files required for the MSVT are generated. Libero exports these files into the <project_path>/designer/SD_Top/SD_Top.msvt.dtf directory and creates a parameter file in the <project_path>/designer/SD_Top/msvt.param file, as shown in the following figure. The msvt.param file contains a list of parameters that you can adjust before executing MSVT.
    Figure 18-29. Generated MSVT Files
    ???
  3. Modify the REQUIRED_SEPARATION parameter according to your system requirements before executing MSVT.

18.2.8 Execute MSVT

You can now run the MSVT to verify that the design adheres to the required separation criteria.

MSVT is invoked from <Libero_Path>/bin64/msvt_check_pf. It is executed from the command line.

To verify the design using MSVT, run the following command:

<Libero_path>/bin64/msvt_check_pf –p <project_path>/designer/SD_Top/msvt.param –o msvt_check_pf.log

This command prints an exhaustive report to msvt_check_pf.log file given with the –o argument or to stdout if –o is omitted. The argument –p is required, along with the path to the msvt.param file generated from Libero.

When this command completes successfully, the message MSVT Check failed appears if the design failed to meet one or more separation criteria and the message MSVT Check succeeded appears if the design met all separation criteria.

Because Microchip Design Separation methodology guidlines are followed in the example, the following output shows the conclusion of MSVT output indicating that the design was verified for the given separation criteria.
