1.6. Extending the Reference Design with Custom Persona

This reference design provides an example template to create your own personas for PR over PCIe* . To extend the reference design with your custom persona:
  1. Navigate to the s10_pcie_devkit_pr folder:
    cd s10_pcie_devkit_pr
  2. Create a copy of the pr_logic_impl_template.qsf.template implementation revision file:
    cp pr_logic_impl_template.qsf.template <persona_impl_revision_name>.qsf
  3. Create a folder and copy your persona-specific RTL to this folder:
    mkdir <persona_name>
cp <custom_persona>.sv <persona_name>/
  4. Your custom top-level entity must match the ports for the custom_persona module, defined in the source/templates/pr_logic_template.sv file. The following example shows interfacing your design with the Avalon-MM interface, controlled over PCIe register file: 
    module custom_persona #(
parameter REG_FILE_IO_SIZE = 8
)(
//clock
input wire clk,

//active low reset, defined by hardware
input wire rst_n,
							
//Persona identification register, used by host in host program
output wire [31:0] persona_id,
							
//Host control register, used for control signals.
input wire [31:0] host_cntrl_register,
							
// 8 registers for host -> PR logic communication
input wire [31:0] host_pr [0:REG_FILE_IO_SIZE-1],
							
// 8 Registers for PR logic -> host communication
output wire [31:0] pr_host [0:REG_FILE_IO_SIZE-1]
);

    Utilize any of the parallel I/O port (PIO) register files for customization. The host_pr register sends the data from the persona to the host machine. The pr_host register sends the data from the host machine to the persona.

  5. In your top-level entity file, specify the persona ID as any 32-bit value:
    assign persona_id  = 32'h0000_aeed;
    Note: The example template uses only 8 bits, but you can specify any value, up to 32 bits.
  6. Set the unused output ports of the pr_host register to 0:
    generate
genvar i;
//Tying unused output ports to zero.
for (i = 2; i < REG_FILE_IO_SIZE; i = i + 1) begin
   assign pr_host [i] = 32'b0;
end
endgenerate
  7. Modify your persona_impl_revision_name.qsf to include the following assignments:
    set_global_assignment -name TOP_LEVEL_ENTITY \
      <custom_persona> s10_pcie_ref_design
set_global_assignment -name SYSTEMVERILOG_FILE \
      <persona_name>/<custom_persona>.sv
set_global_assignment -name QSYS_FILE \
      <persona_specific_qsys_file>
set_global_assignment -name IP_FILE \
      <persona_specific_ip_file>
  8. Update the s10_pcie_devkit_pr.qpf project file to include your implementation revisions:
    PROJECT_REVISION = "<persona_impl_revision_name>"
  9. Compile the revision.

    For complete information on adding a custom persona to a PR design, refer to Adding a New Persona to the Design section in the Partially Reconfiguring a Design on Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Board application note.
