Hi,

For those who may wish to examine this project for potential reuse, I created an architecture diagram of the design.

Best,

Tim S.

Some updates were made to the fpga-serial-acl-tester-1 project. The HDL architecture was updated to better software practices.

Some updates were made to the fpga-serial-acl-tester-1 project. The HDL architecture was updated to better software practices.

Some further updates were made to the VHDL sources to include usage of a Pmod SSD at Pmod Jack A. These updates are committed at branch feature/ssd_with_presets.

Additionally, the FSM diagrams of the aforementioned architecture sketch are now comprehensive in the Documents folder.

This project was upgraded to Vivado/Vitis 2020.2 .

I'd like to mention that within this project I designed in both VHDL-2008 and Verilog-2001 a Pmod SPI Mode 0 driver that enables design of a companion peripheral driver specific to the Peripheral device on the SPI bus.

These two new diagrams may explain how pmod_generic_spi_solo.v or pmod_generic_spi_solo.vhdl, as well as the Peripheral driver coding style, can be reused for each SPI Pmod in the design.

Regards,

Tim S.

As an exercise in learning SystemVerilog 2012+, I authored a fourth rendition of this design, completely in SystemVerilog.

The project now has four designs: Microblaze AXI subsystem, completely Verilog-2001, completely VHDL-2008, and completely SystemVerilog 2012+.
