# PuzzleFW FPGA firmware
The PuzzleFW firmware provides the following functionality:
* Collect ADC samples at 125 MSa/s with configurable decimation or averaging.
* Trigger on external digital input and collect a configurable number of samples.
* Detect transitions on digital input signals and assign time tags to these events.
* Transfer ADC data and timetagger data to the Zynq PS via DMA.
# Analog acquisition chain
TODO ...
When auto-trigger mode is active, the acquisition chain triggers continuously.
A new trigger occurs as soon as acquisition for the previous trigger has ended, after a dead time controlled by `TRIGGER_DELAY`.
In this mode, the decimation factor must be at least 2 (or at least 4 in 4-channel mode).
If `TRIGGER_DELAY` is zero, sampling continues accross at a fixed pace controlled by the decimation factor.
This makes it possible to set up continuous streaming data acquisition.
When external triggering is active, sampling starts when the specified external trigger condition occurs, after a delay of `TRIGGER_DELAY` samples.
The external trigger event is subject to a jitter of 1 sample (8 ns).
Further trigger events are ignored until acquisition for the previous trigger has ended.

# Registers
The behaviour of the PuzzleFW firmware is controlled via a set of registers.
These registers are accessible from the Zynq PS via memory mapped I/O.
The registers are located in a 2 MB region with address 0x43000000 to 0x431fffff in the PS address map.
Within the register address space, the first 1 MB area is intended for various types of control and status registers that are accessed by user space software.
The second 1 MB area is intended for privileged registers that are only accessed by system software such as the Linux kernel driver.
The difference is that writing incorrect values to privileged registers can corrupt or crash the PS system, while writing to user registers can not.
The complete set of registers is listed below.
Access to undefined addresses within the register area must be avoided.
If such access occurs, the firmware may either ignore it or map it to an existing register in a way that may be unexpected.
## Register list
This list specifies register addresses as offsets within the register address space.
The base address 0x43000000 must be added to obtain the absolute address on the PS memory bus.

## Register descriptions
Registers are 32 bits wide, but many registers use only a subset of the bits.
A _field_ is a range of meaningful bits within a register.
Some registers contain multiple fields.
Fields are marked as _RW_ or _RO_ or _WC_.
* RW fields can be modified by writing to the register.
Reading from the register returns the most recent value written to the field.
* RO fields are read-only. Writes to these fields are ignored.
The value of these fields typically changes spontaneously to reflect the status of the firmware.
* WC fields are write-only and auto-clearing.
Writing a 1 bit to the field triggers an action in the firmware.
Writing a 0 bit has no effect.
WC fields are returned as 0 when reading from the register.
Bits that are not part of a field are _reserved_.
Reserved bits must be ignored when reading.
Reserved bits should be written as zero or left unmodified when writing.
### 0x000000: INFO
Firmware version information.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 7 : 0 | version_minor | RO | Firmware minor version |
| 15 : 8 | version_major | RO | Firmware major version |
| 23 : 16 | api_version | RO | Firmware API version, currently 0x01 |
| 31 : 24 | | RO | Fixed value 0x4a |
### 0x000010: IRQ_ENABLE
Enable PL-to-PS interrupts.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 0 | irq_enable | RW | '1' to enable interrupts, '0' to disable |
This register acts as a master switch for interrupts from the firmware.
Specific interrupt conditions can be separately enabled or disabled via other registers.
### 0x000014: IRQ_PENDING
Mask of pending interrupt conditions.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 0 | acq_intr | RO | '1' if an interrupt is pending for analog acquisition DMA |
| 1 | tt_intr | RO | '1' if an interrupt is pending for timetagger DMA |
### 0x000100: DMA_EN
Enable DMA transfers.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 0 | dma_en | RW | '1' to enable DMA transfers, '0' to disable |
This register acts as a master switch for the DMA engine in the PuzzleFW firmware.
Disabling DMA will prevent new bursts from starting, but allows ongoing bursts to complete.
Under normal circumstances, the completion of ongoing bursts can take at most a few microseconds.
### 0x000104: DMA_STATUS
Status of DMA engine.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 0 | dma_busy | RO | '1' if a DMA burst is in progres |
| 1 | err_read | RO | '1' if a DMA read access failed |
| 2 | err_write | RO | '1' if a DMA write access failed |
| 3 | err_address | RO | '1' if access outside the DMA buffer was attempted |
| 4 | err_any | RO | '1' if any DMA error occurred |
If a DMA error occurs, no further DMA bursts will be started until the error is explicitly cleared.
The failed DMA burst will not be acknowledged to the subsystem that initiated it (analog or timetagger).
To recover from this situation, it will typically be necessary to stop and re-initialize all ongoing DMA data streams, clear the error, then restart DMA data streams.
An address error typically occurs when the DMA address range for the analog subsystem or the timetagger exceeds the size of the DMA window specified via `DMA_BUF_SIZE`.
### 0x000108: DMA_CLEAR
Clear DMA error flags.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |

|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 15 : 0 | | RO | Most significant 16 bits of the global 8 ns timestamp counter. |
When reading both `TIMESTAMP_LO` and `TIMESTAMP_HI`, note that the timestamp will change between the two reads, possibly resulting in an invalid combination of low and high part.
To avoid this, read `TIMESTAMP_HI`, then `TIMESTAMP_LO`, then `TIMESTAMP_HI` again.
Then check that the value of `TIMESTAMP_HI` has not changed during the sequence, otherwise retry.
### 0x000188: TIMESTAMP_CLEAR

End address of DMA buffer for analog acquisition.
| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 31 : 7 | | RW | End address as multiple of 128 bytes. |

| Bits | Field name | Access | Description |
|---------|---------------|--------|-------------|
| 3 : 0 | shift_steps | RW | Number of bit positions. |

# Interrupts
The PuzzleFW firmware can send interrupts to the Zynq PS to notify the software of specific conditions.
Interrupts are routed via `IRQ_F2P[0]`, which corresponds to interrupt 61 in the Zynq Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC).
There are two types of conditions that can trigger an interrupt:
* DMA transfers for analog acquisition have progressed to a configurable point.
* DMA transfers for the timetagger have progressed to a configurable point.
Each type of condition has a separate interrupt enable switch, configured via registers `ACQ_INTR_CTRL` and `TT_INTR_CTRL`.
Furthermore, there is a master interrupt enable switch, configured via register `IRQ_ENABLE`.
For example, interrupts may be used to wait for a certain amount of data from the analog acquisition system as follows:
* Write register `ACQ_ADDR_INTR` to specify the amount of progress after which it wants to be notified.
* Write register `ACQ_INTR_CTRL` to clear any pending interrupt and enable interrupts on DMA progress.
* Read register `ACQ_ADDR_PTR` to check whether DMA progress has already passed the configured threshold.
This is necessary to avoid a race condition where software keeps waiting for a condition thas has already happened.
* Write register `IRQ_ENABLE` to enable firmware interrupts.
* Wait for the interrupt or do other stuff in the mean time.
* When the interrupt occurs, the interrupt handler may write register `IRQ_ENABLE` to disable firmware interrupts until the software has time to handle the cause of the interrupt.
* Optionally read register `IRQ_PENDING` to confirm that the interrupt was caused by analog data acquisition.
* Write register `ACQ_INTR_CTRL` to clear the interrupt and disable further interrupts of this type.
* Process the data that arrived in the DMA buffer.
Interrupts can be used to wait for timetagger data in a similar way.
