New structure of Global Trigger firmware on MP7

Clone of CERN gitlab ugt firmware.

Top hierarchy module of ugt firmware mp7_payload.vhd, which is embedded in the MP7 firmware framework, contains two main parts:

• Control of ugt firmware (gt_control.vhd)
• Data of ugt firmware (gt_data.vhd), which contains
  • Global Trigger Logic (GTL) version 2.x.y for new structure of GTL logic with 3 stages:
    • conversions and calculations
    • comparisons
    • conditions and algos
  • Final Decision Logic (FDL)

Simulation of gtl_fdl_wrapper with Questa simulator for 6 ugt modules

• This is a description running script "run_simulation_questa.py" for simulation.
• If Questa sim libraries for Vivado do not exist in $HOME/questasimlibs_xxx, they will be created for the selected Questa sim and Vivado versions.

Workflow

# Clone git repositories
git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/hbergaue/mp7.git <local path>/mp7
cd <local path>/mp7
git checkout mp7fw_v2_4_1_mp7_ugt
git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/hbergaue/ugt.git <local path>/ugt
cd <local path>/ugt
git checkout master

# Run simulation
cd <local path>/ugt/
python mp7_ugt/scripts/run_simulation_questa.py <L1Menu name> --mp7_tag <path local mp7>

# Example
cd ~/gitlab/hbergaue/ugt/mp7_ugt
python mp7_ugt/scripts/run_simulation_questa.py L1Menu_Collisions2018_v2_1_0-d98 --mp7_tag ~/gitlab/hbergaue/mp7

Build mp7_ugt firmware with IPBB

• This is a draft description with branches of MP7 and ugt repos.

• A fork of MP7 firmware is available with three branches:

  • branch "mp7fw_v2_4_1_mp7_ugt" created from tag mp7fw_v2_4_1.
  • branch "mp7fw_v2_4_3_mp7_ugt" created from tag mp7fw_v2_4_3.
  • branch "mp7fw_master_mp7_ugt" created from master.

• These branches contain modified MP7 files for mp7_ugt:

  • area_constraints.tcl
  • mp7_brd_decl.vhd
  • mp7xe_690.vhd

• One of these branches can be used for build (see below).

Setup

• The ugt repo is a fork of svn2git ugt repo. Following modifications are done in the branch:
  • added ugt_strategy.tcl for ugt specific strategy and inserted it into top.dep.
  • modified uGT_algo.dep: removed "doubled" commands (these commnads are in MP7 dep files).
  • added script runIpbbSynth.py for IPBB synthesis (all 6 mp7_ugt modules) with possibility of simulation.
  • added script checkIpbbSynth.py for checking IPBB synthesis results.
  • added script fwpackerIpbb.py for packing firware files in a tar file.
