kandi X-RAY | nextpnr Summary
The YoWASP nextpnr suite of packages provides [nextpnr][] and related tools for several FPGA families built for [WebAssembly][]. See the [overview of the YoWASP project][yowasp] for details. The suppored FPGA families are: * Lattice iCE40 (via [Project IceStorm][icestorm]); * Lattice ECP5 (via [Project Trellis][trellis]); * Lattice Nexus (via [Project Oxide][oxide]); * Gowin GW1N (via [Project Apicula][apicula]).

QUESTION
I have an ice40 that drives the clock and data inputs of an ASIC.
The ice40 drives the ASIC's clock with the same clock that drives the ice40's internal logic. The problem is that the rising clock triggers the ice40's internal logic and changes the ice40's data outputs a few nanoseconds before the rising clock reaches the ASIC, and therefore the ASIC observes the wrong data at its rising clock.
I've solved this issue by using an inverter chain to delay the ice40's internal clock without delaying the clock driving the ASIC. That way, the rising clock reaches the ASIC before the ice40's data outputs change. But that raises a few questions:
Is my strategy -- using an inverter chain to delay the ice40 internal clock -- a good strategy?
To diagnose the problem, I used Lattice's iCEcube2 to analyze the min/max delays between the internal clock and output pins:
Notice that the asic_dataX
delays are shorter than the clk_out
delay, indicating the problem.
Is there a way to get this information from yosys/nextpnr?
Thank you for any insight!

The Lattice FPGA I am using has embedded RAMs, which can be preloaded with data through the configuration binary.
The predefined Verilog modules for these RAMs implement this by providing Parameters named INIT_0 , INIT_1 , INIT_2 , ... , each a 256-bit value, to do this.
So my code to instantiate the RAM looks like this:

Answered 2020-Jan-17 at 14:38I had a similar issue with using TSMC memories. TSMC has an "INIT" parameter/`define where you can set a text file to read in the verilog hex values. The issue was, I had multiple memories, so I would need multiple files, with multiple parameters on each instance of the memory (but I was trying to keep the code clean with an index of memories based on a parameter). This however was easier said than done, and also with the `define it would require a re-compile during regressions.
So what I did was create a Python script that would read in my disassembled code (or whatever data you want to read) and constructed assign statements that get executed right after time 0 (to account for the memory init). This file would be created as part of my make flow for CPU SW, so it was always up to date. I opted for this as we already had some scripts that were generating other portions for design and testing, and we just needed a way to force memory contents during quick debug testing instead of waiting for the memories to be programmed.
