5.8.2 Initializing Design Blocks (PolarFire and PolarFire SoC)
The Configure Design Initialization Data and Memories tool allows you to initialize design blocks such as LSRAM, uSRAM, XCVR (transceivers), and PCIe using data stored in non-volatile uPROM, sNVM, or external SPI Flash storage memory. The tool has the following tabs for defining the specification of the design initialization sequence and the specification of the initialization clients:
Note: The Configure Design Initialization Data and
Memories tool can be started only after completing the Generate FPGA Array Data
step.
Use tabs in the tool to configure the design initialization data and memories. If a tab title has an asterisk (*) next to it, it means an item on that tab has been changed but not yet applied. The following table describes the buttons common to every tab.
Table 5-69. Common Buttons on Every Tab
Button
Description
Apply
Click this button to save the changes made in a tab. The Apply button saves configuration changes only. For the initialization of the memory block to take effect, click Generate Initialization Clients on the Device Initialization tab.
Discard
Click this button to cancel any changes made in a tab.
After completing the configuration, perform the following steps to program the initialization data:
Generate initialization clients.
Generate or export the bitstream.
Program the device.
While importing memory files, note that the option Use relative path allows you to choose the path relative to project or relative to environment variable, depending on the setting used in Libero. This option is extended to all memory files that are referenced in various configurators, as well as to sNVM/uPROM/SPI-Flash update tools.
Design Initialization is the first tab in the Configure Design
Initialization Data and Memories tool. The following topics describe the options in this
tab.
In the first stage, the initialization sequence de-asserts the FABRIC_POR_N signal and starts the
I/O calibration routine. The initialization client for this stage is always placed in
sNVM. It uses the last two pages of the sNVM memory space. There is one configuration
option for this stage.
Figure 5-126. Design Initialization Tab - First Stage
Table 5-70 5-71. First Stage Configuration
Option
Configuration Option
Description
Broadcast instructions to initialize RAMs to zeros
Affects all LSRAM and uSRAM blocks in the device. Selecting this
option initializes all RAM blocks to zeros before FABRIC PoR is
asserted. To accommodate the additional instructions, the sNVM start
page will be 202. To initialize the individual logical RAM blocks to
zeros without using this global option, select the Content
filled with 0s option in the Add Data Storage Client
dialog box, and then wait for the corresponding RAM INIT complete signal
before accessing those RAMs (see the PolarFire Family Power-Up and Resets User Guide, which describes the INIT DONE/COMPLETE signals).
If this
global option is not selected, the sNVM start page will be
219.
In the second stage, the initialization sequence initializes the PCIe and XCVR blocks present in the design. This stage is grayed out if the design does not have PCIe or XCVR Blocks.
The initialization client for this stage is named INIT_STAGE_2_SNVM_CLIENT. It is always placed in sNVM at the start address of your choice. The start address can be at the start of an sNVM page (page boundary) only.
Each sNVM page is 256 bytes in size, so the valid start hexadecimal addresses are 0x0, 0x100, 0x200, and so on. Only the plaintext non-authenticated client is supported for initialization.
Figure 5-127. Design Initialization Tab - Second Stage
In the third stage, the initialization sequence initializes the Fabric RAMs present in the design. The initialization client for this stage is placed in the memory type of your choice (uPROM/sNVM/External SPI Flash). If the design does not have any Fabric RAMs, this stage of the initialization sequence is not needed and is grayed out. Each logical RAM block can be initialized from any of the three memory types. Use the Fabric RAMs configuration tab to assign the memory type to the logical RAM blocks.
Only the memory types used by the design, as defined in the Fabric RAMs configuration tab, are selected and enabled.Figure 5-128. Design Initialization Tab - Third Stage
Table 5-70 5-71. Memory Types
Memory Type
Description
μPROM
Name of the initialization client is INIT_STAGE_3_UPROM_CLIENT. Its start address is your choice, subject to the limitation that the start address can only be at the start of a uPROM block. Each μPROM block is 256 words, so the allowed hexadecimal start addresses are 0x0, 0x100, 0x200, and so on.
sNVM
If there are no PCIe or XCVR blocks used in the design, the name of the sNVM initialization client for this stage is INIT_STAGE_3_SNVM_CLIENT. If there are PCIe or XCVR blocks used in the design along with Fabric RAMs, the name of the sNVM initialization client for this stage is INIT_STAGE_2_3_SNVM_CLIENT, which has the initialization sequence/instructions for the PCIe or XCVR blocks followed by Fabric RAMs. Its start address is your choice, subject to the limitation that the start address can only be at the start of an sNVM page (page boundary). Each sNVM page is 256 bytes long, so the allowed hexadecimal start addresses are 0x0, 0x100, 0x200, and so on.
SPI-Flash
Name of the initialization client is INIT_STAGE_3_SPIFLASH_CLIENT.
SPI-Flash Binding
Four binding options are available:
No Binding Plaintext: <root>_uic.bin file is a script file that can be opened to see readable text.
Binding Encrypted with Default Key: <root>_uic.bin file is encrypted with the default encryption key. The design version is displayed and can be modified from Configure Programming Options. If Default key is selected, you do not need to specify any other details.
Binding Encrypted with User Encryption Key 1 (UEK1): <root>_uic.bin file is encrypted with UEK1. The design version is displayed and can be modified from Configure Programming Options. You must configure SPM along with UEK1. If UEK1 is not specified, the Generate SPI Flash Image and Export SPI Flash Image steps cause an error. UEK1 can be configured using the Configure Security Tool.
Binding Encrypted with User Encryption Key 2 (UEK2): <root>_uic.bin file is encrypted with UEK2. The design version is displayed and can be modified from Configure Programming Options. You must configure SPM along with UEK2. If UEK2 is not specified, the Generate SPI Flash Image and Export SPI Flash Image steps cause an error. UEK2 can be configured using the Configure Security Tool.
SPI Clock divider value
Clock divider value for the clock that is generated by the System Controller. Choose the value that meets the minimum clock width requirement of the external SPI Flash.
Use the Time Out (s) drop-down list to select a time-out for completing all three stages of the initialization process. The default setting is 128, which is the maximum value.Figure 5-129. Design Initialization Tab - Time Out (s)
The Auto Calibration Time Out value specifies the time-out before which
the I/O calibration instructions must be completed. The default
value is 3000 milliseconds. This time-out value applies to
MPF100T, MPF200T, MPF300T, and MPF500T devices.Figure 5-130. Design Initialization Tab - Auto

Client is created when there are PCIe blocks or Transceiver
blocks in the design. The client is always placed in sNVM at the
start address you specified in the Design Initialization tab of
the Configure Design Initialization Data and Memories
tool.
Third stage initialization client
Client is created only when there are Fabric RAMs in the
design. The client can be placed in any uPROM, sNVM, or SPI
memories at a start address you specify. You can specify the
target memory for each Fabric RAM separately or for all Fabric
RAMs at once in the Fabric RAMs tab, and then specify the start
address of the target memory in the Design Initialization tab of
the Configure Design Initialization Data and Memories tool.
If
there are PCIe or XCVR blocks used in the design along with
Fabric RAMs with target memory type set to sNVM, a combined
initialization client is created for sNVM that has the
initialization sequence/instructions for the PCIe or XCVR
blocks followed by Fabric RAM.
If you reserved space in the uPROM Configurator and want to make changes to the uPROM clients
after Place and Route, use the Update uPROM Memory Content tool. After you update the
uPROM memory content, you do not need to rerun Place and Route.
To update the uPROM memory content:
In the Design Flow window,
right-click Update uPROM Memory Content and choose
Configure Options.Figure 5-161. Update uPROM Memory
Content
When the uPROM Update Tool appears,
right-click the Memory Client you want to update and choose
Edit.Figure 5-162. uPROM Update Tool
When the Edit Data Storage Client dialog box appears, you can make the following
changes:
Rename a client
Change the memory content,
memory size and start address of the client
Decide whether use content
for simulation
Figure 5-163. Edit Data Storage Client
Dialog Box
When you finish, click OK.
Note: You cannot use the Update uPROM tool to
add or delete a client. To add or delete a client, use the uPROM Configurator to
reconfigure your clients and regenerate your uPROM component and your design.
5.8.5 Update eNVM Memory Content (SmartFusion 2 and
IGLOO 2)
The eNVM Update dialog box allows you to update your eNVM content without having to rerun Compile and Place and Route. It is useful, for example, if you reserved space in the eNVM configurator within the MSS for firmware development. Use the eNVM Update dialog box after you complete your firmware development and want to incorporate your updated firmware image file into the project.
To display the eNVM Update dialog box, right-click Update eNVM Memory Content and choose Configure Options or double-click Update eNVM Memory Content to display the dialog box.
Figure 5-164. eVNM Update Dialog Box
Note: To disable a client for programming, modify the client and select No Content (Client is a placeholder and will not be programmed). The content from the memory file, serialization data file, or auto- incremented serialization content will be preserved if you later decide to enable this client for programming. Clients disabled for programming will not be included in the generated bitstream and will not be programmed.
The Modify Data Storage Client dialog box allows you to import a memory file, fill eNVM
content with zero’s, and assign no content (eNVM as a placeholder). The last option
excludes the client from the programming bitstream and does not program the client. You
can also specify the start address where the data for that client starts, the word size,
and the number of words to reserve for the data storage client.
To display the Modify Data Storage Client dialog box, double-click the storage client.
Note: You cannot add, delete, or rename a
data storage client at this point using the Modify Data Storage Client dialog box. To
make such changes, return to the MSS or System Builder eNVM configuration step.
Figure 5-165. Modify Data Storage Client Dialog Box
If you completed Place and Route and imported a memory file for the eNVM content, you do not have
to rerun Compile or Place and Route. You can program or export your programming file
directly. Programming generates a new programming file that includes your updated eNVM
content.
5.8.7 Modify Serialization Client (SmartFusion 2 and
IGLOO 2)
The Modify Serialization Client dialog box allows you to import a memory file, fill eNVM content with zero’s, and assign no content (eNVM as a placeholder). The last option excludes the client from the programming bitstream and does not program the client. You can also specify the start address where the data for that client starts, the word size, and the number of words to reserve for the data storage client. You can also specify the start address where the data for the serialization client starts, the number of pages, and the maximum number of devices into which you want to program serialization data.
Setting a maximum number of devices to program for Serialization clients generates a programming bitstream file that has serialization content for the number of devices specified. The maximum number of devices to program must match for all serialization clients. To program a subset of the devices during production programming, use the FlashPro Express tool, which allows you to select a range of indices desired for programming for that serialization programming session. For more information, see the Macro Library User Guide for SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2.
To open the Modify Serialization Client dialog box, double-click the serialization client.
Note: You cannot add, delete, or rename a serialization client in the Modify serialization client dialog box. Go to the eNVM configurator inside the MSS/HPMS Configurator or the System Builder Memory page (eNVM tab) to make these changes.
If you completed Place and Route and imported a memory file for the eNVM content, you do not have to rerun Compile or Place and Route. You can program or export your programming file directly. Programming will generate a new programming file that includes your updated eNVM content.
5.8.8 Configuring I/O States During JTAG
Programming
In the Libero SoC Design Flow window, expand the Program Design and double-click
Configure I/O States During JTAG Programming. The default
state for all I/Os is Tri-state.
Use the following procedure to specify I/O states during programming or while exporting a bitstream.
Click a column header to sort the entries by that header, and then select the I/Os you want to modify.
Set the I/O output state using either basic I/O

The Configure Bitstream dialog box allows you to select which components you wish to
program. Only features that are added to your design are available for programming. To
display the dialog box, right click Generate Bitstream in the
Design Flow window and choose Configure Options .
In the dialog box, the option Sanitize all sNVM pages in ERASE
action is supported for PolarFire and PolarFire SoC. The option is
enabled in the dialog box if the Fabric/sNVM option is selected.
If the design includes uPROM, it will be included in the Fabric.
Figure 5-189. Configure Bitstream
(PolarFire)PolarFire SoC devices also provide an eNVM option if eNVM
clients are present and being programmed.
Figure 5-190. Configure Bitstream with eNVM
Option (PolarFire SoC)
Observe the following guidelines:
Note:
Custom security is enabled if
security was configured.
All available features are
selected by default.
sNVM is always programmed with
Fabric for PolarFire devices. PolarFire SoC allows you to program either Fabric
with sNVM or sNVM only.
5.8.11.2 Configure Bitstream (RTG4, SmartFusion 2, and
IGLOO 2)
Right-click Generate Bitstream in the Design Flow window and choose Configure Options to open the Configure Bitstream dialog box.
The Configure Bitstream dialog box enables you to select which components you wish to program. Only features that are added to your design are available for programming. For example, you cannot select eNVM for programming if you do not have eNVM in your design.
The Generate Bitstream option generates the bitstream for use with the Run PROGRAM Action tool.
The tool incorporates the Fabric design, sNVM configuration, eNVM configuration (if configured)
and custom security settings (if configured) to generate the bitstream file. Before you
generate the bitstream, configure the bitstream. Otherwise, default settings with all
available features included are used. To display the Configure Bitstream dialog box,
expand Program Design, right-click Generate
Bitstream and choose Configure Options to select
the components you want to program. Only features that are added to your design are
available for programming. When the process is complete, a green check mark appears next
to the operation in the Design Flow window (as shown in the following figure) and
information messages appear in the Log window.
Observe the following guidelines:
If the design includes uPROM, it will be included in the Fabric.
The eNVM option will be
available for PolarFire SoC, SmartFusion 2, and IGLOO 2 devices only if eNVM
clients are present and being programmed.
Modifications to the Fabric design, sNVM configuration, eNVM configuration, or security settings will invalidate this tool and require regeneration of the bitstream file.
The Fabric programming data will be regenerated only if you make changes to the Fabric design, such as in the Create Design, Create Constraints, and Implement Design sections of the Design Flow window.
The Configure Actions and Procedures tool allows you to configure actions with optional or
recommended procedures for a Libero target device. The information is saved and can be
used by the Run Action tool.
Observe the following guidelines when using this tool:
Available actions and their procedures depend on current bitstream components selected in the Generate Bitstream and Configure Options tools.
Changing procedures for the action selected to run invalidates the Run Action tool
state. Changing any other action does not affect the Run Action tool state.
To run the Configure Actions and Procedures tool, from the Libero Design Flow window, expand
Program Design and double-click Configure Actions
and Procedures.Figure 5-193. Configure Actions and Procedures
The Configure Actions and Procedures dialog box opens. The actions and procedures shown depend on
the device family you use and the bitstream components selected in the Generate
Bitstream and Configure Options tools.Figure 5-194. Configure Actions and

5.8.15 Programming SPI Flash Image (PolarFire and
PolarFire SoC)
The Generate SPI Flash Image tool generates a <design>_spi_flash.bin file in the implementation folder. The tool depends on the Configure Design Initialization Data and Memories tool and the Generate Design Initialization Data tool. While running, the tool verifies that the SPI Flash configuration data is saved and valid, and that the SPI Flash initialization client was generated successfully (if required).
To run this tool, expand Program SPI Flash Image, right-click Generate SPI Flash Image, and select Run.
Figure 5-197. Selecting the Run
Command
5.8.15.2 Configure SPI Flash Image Actions and Procedures
If SPI Flash is configured, you can select supported SPI Flash Image actions and procedures in the Select Action and Procedures dialog box. See the following example.

Action
Mandatory Procedures
Description
PROGRAM_SPI_IMAGE
VERIFY_DEVICE_I D ERASE_DIE PROGRAM_IMAGE
This action erases the entire SPI flash then program the SPI image.
VERIFY_SPI_IMAGE
VERIFY_DEVICE_I D VERIFY_IMAGE
This action verifies the SPI Image on the SPI Flash.
READ_SPI_IMAGE
VERIFY_DEVICE_I D READ_IMAGE
This action reads the SPI Image from the SPI Flash.
ERASE_SPI_FLASH
VERIFY_DEVICE_I D ERASE_DIE
This action erases the entire SPI Flash.
Note: Partial programming of the SPI flash is supported when using PolarFire®/PolarFire SoC FPGAs and the FlashPro6 programmer. In this case, the ERASE_SPI_FLASH action allows you to erase only selected clients.
Note: If the device ID does not match while running any action, the action will fail.
The Run Programming SPI Flash Actions tool allows you to program the SPI Flash device connected to the PolarFire device through the JTAG programming interface. Only the Micron 1Gb SPI flash furnished with the Evaluation Kit is supported. This feature minimizes cost by not requiring a MUX and external SPI pins on the board for SPI flash programming by another tool. This tool always erases the entire SPI flash prior to programming. Programming starts at address 0 of the SPI flash until the last client. Any gaps in the SPI flash are programmed with all 1’s.
Note: This version of the programmer does not support SPI Flash security. Disable device security options such as Hardware Write Protect for the External SPI Flash device.
If SPI Flash is configured, you can execute the Run PROGRAM_SPI_IMAGE Action and select SPI Flash Image actions and procedures. In the Design Flow window, expand Program SPI Flash Image, right-click Run PROGRAM_SPI_Image Action, and select Configure Action/Procedures.
Note: The SPI pins are controlled by the Boundary Scan Register one bit at a time.

Observe the following recommendations:
Because the verify time is currently not
optimized, it is recommended to authenticate the SPI bitstreams with system
services for quicker verification.
Because this tool erases the SPI flash prior to
programming and currently does not support Data Storage clients for user data,
it is recommended to program the SPI Flash with Libero before programming other
data on the SPI Flash.
Because programming time is currently not
optimized, it is recommended to not have huge gaps between clients in the SPI
flash, since gaps are currently programmed with 1’s.
This feature allows you to program clients anywhere within the SPI-Flash memory space connected to PolarFire and PolarFire SoC devices.
Every client is programmed at a specified target Start Address, from the lowest address to the highest. The Libero generated Look-up Table (LUT) is programmed first, followed by INIT_STATGE_3_SPI_CLIENT, SPI bitstream for IAP, Recovery/Golden, and Auto Update.
The following image is a sample list of clients:Figure 5-200. Sample List of ClientsThe memory regions between the clients are left intact. However, SPI-Flash erases data in the selected sector, subsector, or block if the client’s target Start Address is outside of sector, subsector, or block boundaries.
The software reports an error code along with messages that indicate if original data is lost.
The verify operation verifies only the data of the selected clients.
The following example is a sample log from FlashProExpress SPI Flash programming:
programmer '138000A' : Scan Chain...

programmer '138000A' : device 'MPF200T' : Executing action PROGRAM_SPI_IMAGE
programmer '138000A' : JTAG TCK frequency = 4 MHz
Performing SPI-Flash action. Please wait...
Warning: It is recommended that the target client addresses align to sector, subsector or block boundaries. Else, during erase or program actions, the software will erase and restore data that is partly outside of target memory regions. If restoring data operation fails, the user must reprogram the original clients covering the affected failed areas.

FlashPro3, FlashPro4, and FlashPro5 Partial Support
The partial programming support described for eFP6 and FP6 does not apply for FP3, FP4, or FP5 programmers. FP3, FP4, and FP5 programmers deal with partial clients by generating on the fly one bitstream containing the data of all the clients, as shown in the previous example. Memory gaps between the clients are filled with 0xff. The entire SPI-Flash memory device is erased first, and then the generated bitstream is programmed, starting with address 0.
The verify operation verifies that the client data and the memory gaps between the clients are verified against 0xff.
The following example is a sample output for programming the previous clients using FlashPro5 programmer.
programmer 'S2001KZSR7' : Scan Chain...
Programmer 'S2001KZSR7' : JTAG TCK / SPI SCK frequency = 1 MHz

Observe the following guidelines:
Backward Compatibility: FlashPro3/4/5/6 that use the software version 2021.1 release support all jobs created using older versions of the Libero software. Do not use older FlashProExpress versions of software with FlashProExpress jobs created by Libero version 2021.1 and later releases. If used, the entire bitstream, including header contents, will be programmed into the SPI-Flash memory device, which is not the intended behavior.
Programmers used: Jobs programmed with FlashPro6 but verified with FlashPro3/4/5 programmers might fail using software version 2021.1 release. These jobs fail because the memory gap between clients is skipped during verification but are verified against 0xff if FlashPro3/4/5 programmers are used.
SPI address table: If only storage clients are created, Libero generates a 1024-byte SPI address lookup table automatically while adding any SPI-Flash client. Erasing a client using eFlashPro6/FlashPro6 programmers also erases the SPI lookup address table. For FlashPro3/4/5 programmers, erase operations erase the entire SPI-Flash memory device.
