描述

The SPI-4.2 Core has certain "static configuration signals" that control various aspects of the core functionality. 

Can these values be changed in-circuit?

解决方案

Users of the core can change the following static settings for the SPI-4.2 Core during reset assertion (but NOT during regular operation, or on the fly): 

NumDip4Errors 

NumTrainSequences 

SnkCalendar_M 

SnkCalendar_Len 

SnkAFThresAssert 

SnkAFThresNegate 

SrcBurstLen 

SrcAFThresAssert 

SrcAFThresNegate 

SrcCalendar_M 

SrcCalendar_Len 

DataMaxT 

AlphaData 

NumDip2Errors 

NumDip2Matches 

The following steps to perform these changes are recommended. These steps have been verified in functional and timing simulations with the SPI-4.2 v9.3 Core, and information has been added to that User Guide. 

1. Disable the sink and source core (SnkEn and SrcEn signals). 

2. Assert core reset (Reset_n = 0). 

3. Change the desired static configuration signals. 

4. Deassert reset (Reset_n=1). 

5. Wait at least 10 clock cycles of RDClkDiv_GP for the sink static configuration signals to settle, and 10 clock cycles of SysClkDiv_GP for the source static configuration signals to settle and propagate to the logic. 

6. Enable the core and wait for the core to achieve synchronization, then continue normal operation.
