Block: 64 Bit Snapshot (snap64)
Block Author: Aaron Parsons
Document Author: Aaron Parsons, Ben Blackman
Summary
The snap block provides a packaged solution for capturing data from the FPGA fabric and making it accessible from the CPU. Snap64 captures to 2x32 bit wide shared BRAMs to effect a 64 bit capture.
Mask Parameters
| Parameter | Variable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| No. of Samples ((2^?)) | nsamples | Specifies the depth of the Shared BRAM(s); i.e. the number of 64bit samples which are stored per capture. |
Ports
| Port | Dir | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| din | IN | unsigned_64_0 | The data to be captured. Regardless of type, the bit-level representation of these numbers are written as 64bit values to the Shared BRAMs. |
| trig | IN | boolean | When high, triggers the beginning of a data capture. Thereafter, every enabled data is written to the shared BRAM until it is full. |
| we | IN | boolean | After a trigger is begun, enables a write to Shared BRAM. |
Description
Usage
Under TinySH/BORPH, this device will have 3 sub-devices: ctrl,
bram_msb, bram_lsb, and addr. ctrl is an input register. Bit 0,
when driven from low to high, enables a trigger/data capture to occur.
Bit 1, when high, overrides trig to trigger instantly. Bit 2, when
high, overrides we to always write data to bram. addr is an output
register and records the last address of bram to which data was written.
bram_msb and bram_lsb are 32 bit wide Shared BRAMs of the depth
specified in Parameters. bram_msb holds the upper 32 bits of din
while bram_lsb holds the lower 32 bits of din.
