2.5.2. Verify Simulation Design Examples using Tester IP

The design examples, both with dynamic reconfiguration and without dynamic reconfiguration, use Tester IP to verify PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP functionality. The tester exercises read and write operations to the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP to verify its functionality.

At a high level, the tester is a state machine that repeatedly performs read/write operations. Disabling a test causes the corresponding tester state to be skipped. The following lists the tester states in the order they are performed:

  1. STATE_INIT: Initialization
  2. STATE_TEST_CALBUS: Calibration when dynamic reconfiguration is enabled
  3. STATE_TEST_WRITE: Enabled only in output and bidirectional modes
  4. STATE_TEST_READ: Enabled only in input and bidirectional modes
  5. STATE_DONE: All bursts of data successfully transmitted

The following table shows the port connections between the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP instance and Tester module. Tester ports not shown in the table are pass_out and fail_out which signal the success or failure of the test. Multiple PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP groups can be tested by daisy chaining testers and connecting pass_out and fail_out of each tester to the pass_in and fail_in ports of the next tester in chain. The Calbus ports are not shown in the table as well.

In the write tests, PHYLite Interface module sends pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) pattern, strobe, and control signals to PHY Lite IP instance, and PHY Lite IP instance outputs the data and strobe to the I/O model, where the data are checked against the PRBS pattern. In the read tests, the reverse happens.

The tester instantiates the following three submodules:

  • I/O model: Connects to the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces I/O interface. Includes two instances of pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) channel, one to generate random pattern for read tests, and one to check the received pattern in the write tests.
  • PHYLite interface: Connects to the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP core interface. Includes two instances of PRBS channel, one to generate random pattern for write tests, and one to check received pattern in the read tests. Reframing logic is also included in this module.
  • IOSSM tester: Exposes an AXI4-Lite IP Interface and performs reads and writes to change the TX delay on pin 0. Only available for simulation example design with dynamic reconfiguration.
