Overview
|
| 22 |
|
|

|

SpaceWire Light is a SpaceWire encoder-decoder.
|
| 25 |
2 |
jorisvr |
It is synthesizable for FPGA targets (up to 200 Mbit on Spartan-3).
|
| 26 |
6 |
jorisvr |
Application interfaces include a simple FIFO interface, as well as
|
| 27 |
|
|
an AMBA bus interface for LEON3 system-on-chip designs.
|
| 28 |
2 |
jorisvr |
|
| 29 |
|
|
The goal is to provide a complete, reliable, fast implementation
|
| 30 |
6 |
jorisvr |
of a SpaceWire encoder-decoder according to ECSS-E-ST-50-12C.
|
| 31 |
2 |
jorisvr |
The core is "light" in the sense that it does not provide additional
|
| 32 |
|
|
features such as RMAP, routing etc.

Future plans:
|
| 37 |
5 |
jorisvr |
* redesign fast receiver to improve performance
|
| 38 |
|
|
* add support for Xilinx Virtex platform

|
| 45 |
|
|
* Add RTEMS driver and test program for SPWAMBA.
|
| 46 |
|
|
* Add documentation for SPWAMBA.
|
| 47 |
|
|
* spwamba: Change TX FIFO management; start new transfer when there is room
|
| 48 |
|
|
for a maximum burst instead of aiming for 3/4 fill rate.
|
| 49 |
|
|
* spwamba: Do not reset spwxmit in response to software reset.
|
| 50 |
|
|
* spwamba: Fix bug in maximum burst size calculation.
|
| 51 |
|
|
* spwamba: Optimize address generation in burst state machine.
|
| 52 |
|
|
* spwamba: More careful calculation of RX credit.

* Add AMBA interface (preliminary version, untested, undocumented).
|
| 56 |
|
|
* License changed from LGPL to GPL.
|
| 57 |
|
|
* Again fix an issue with EEP injection on link loss.
|
| 58 |
|
|
* Add DATAPATHONLY keyword to timing constraints.

| 61 |
|
|
* Fixed issue with automatic discarding of TX data after link error.
|
| 62 |
|
|
* After link error, spwstream will terminate current packet with EEP even
|
| 63 |
|
|
if the linkdisable signal is active.
|
| 64 |
|
|
* Added code comment to clarify a dependency between spwrecv and spwlink.
|
| 65 |

|
(Thanks to Rafael Corsi Ferrao for reporting this obscurity.)
|

|

|
|
2010-07-12
|
| 68 |
|
|
* Added manual.
|
| 69 |
|
|
* Fix incorrect bitrate during link handshake. The system clock frequency
|
| 70 |
|
|
was used to compute the initial tx clock divider, even when the clock
|
| 71 |
|
|
divider would act on the txclk instead of the system clock.
|
| 72 |
|
|
* Improve fast transmitter. Sending FCT tokens at high bit rate no longer
|
| 73 |
|
|
causes insertion of a NULL token.
|
| 74 |
|
|
|
| 75 |
|
|
2010-06-08
|
| 76 |
|
|
* Initial release.
