1.3 Development Environment¶

This section describes the components required for OFS FIM development, and provides a walkthrough for setting up the environment on your development machine.

Note that your development machine may be different than your deployment machine where the FPGA acceleration card is installed. FPGA development work and deployment work can be performed either on the same machine, or on different machines as desired. Please see the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up the environment for deployment machines.

1.3.1 Development Tools¶

The Development Environment Table describes the Best Known Configuration (BKC) for the tools that are required for OFS FIM development.

Table: Development Environment BKC

Component	Version	Installation Walkthrough
Operating System	RedHat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 8.6	N/A
Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software	Quartus Prime Pro Version 23.4 for Linux + Patches 0.17 patch (PCIe)	Section 1.3.1.1
Python	3.6.8 or later	N/A
GCC	8.5.0 or later	N/A
cmake	3.15 or later	N/A
FIM Source Files	ofs-2024.1-1	Section 1.3.2.1

1.3.1.1 Walkthrough: Install Quartus Prime Pro Software¶

Intel Quartus Prime Pro Version 23.4 is verified to work with the latest OFS release ofs-2024.1-1. However, you have the option to port and verify the release on newer versions of Intel Quartus Prime Pro software.

Use RedHat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 8.6 for compatibility with your development flow and also testing your FIM design in your platform.

Prior to installing Quartus:

Ensure you have at least 64 GB of free space for Quartus Prime Pro installation and your development work.
- Intel® recommends that your system be configured to provide virtual memory equal in size or larger than the recommended physical RAM size that is required to process your design.
- The disk space may be significantly more based on the device families included in the install. Prior to installation, the disk space should be enough to hold both zipped tar files and uncompressed installation files. After successful installation, delete the downloaded zipped files and uncompressed zip files to release the disk space.

Perform the following steps to satisfy the required dependencies.

$ sudo dnf install -y gcc gcc-c++ make cmake libuuid-devel rpm-build autoconf automake bison boost boost-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel make ncurses grub2 bc csh flex glibc-locale-source libnsl ncurses-compat-libs

Apply the following configurations.

$ sudo localedef -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8 
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.6 /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5 
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Create the default installation path: /intelFPGA_pro/, where is the default path of the Linux workstation, or as set by the system administrator and is your Quartus version number.

The installation path must satisfy the following requirements:
- Contain only alphanumeric characters
- No special characters or symbols, such as !$%@^&*<>,
- Only English characters
- No spaces
Download your required Quartus Prime Pro Linux version here.
Install required Quartus patches. The Quartus patch .run files can be found in the Assets tab on the OFS Release GitHub page. The patches for this release are 0.17 patch (PCIe).
After running the Quartus Prime Pro installer, set the PATH environment variable to make utilities quartus, jtagconfig, and quartus_pgm discoverable. Edit your bashrc file ~/.bashrc to add the following line:
```
export PATH=<Quartus install directory>/quartus/bin:$PATH
export PATH=<Quartus install directory>/qsys/bin:$PATH
```
For example, if the Quartus install directory is /home/intelFPGA_pro/23.4 then the new line is:
```
export PATH=/home/intelFPGA_pro/23.4/quartus/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/home/intelFPGA_pro/23.4/qsys/bin:$PATH
```

Verify, Quartus is discoverable by opening a new shell:

$ which quartus
/home/intelFPGA_pro/23.4/quartus/bin/quartus

2. FIM Compilation¶

This section describes the process of compiling OFS FIM designs using the provided build scripts. It contains two main sections:

Compilation Theory - Describes the theory behind FIM compilation
Compilation Flows - Describes the process of compiling a FIM

The walkthroughs provided in this section are:

2.1 Compilation Theory¶

This section describes the theory behind FIM compilation.

2.1.1 FIM Build Script¶

The OFS Common Repository contains a script named build_top.sh which is used to build OFS FIM designs and generate output files that can be programmed to the board. After cloning the OFS FIM repository (with the ofs-common repository included), the build script can be found in the following location:

$OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh

The usage of the build_top.sh script is as follows:

build_top.sh [-k] [-p] [-e] [--stage=<action>] [--ofss=<ip_config>] <build_target>[:<fim_options>] [<work_dir_name>]

Field	Options	Description	Requirement
`-k`	None	Keep. Preserves and rebuilds within an existing work tree instead of overwriting it.	Optional
`-p`	None	When set, and if the FIM supports partial reconfiguration, a PR template tree is generated at the end of the FIM build. The PR template tree is located in the top of the work directory but is relocatable and uses only relative paths. See $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/common/scripts generate_pr_release.sh for details.	Optional
`-e`	None	Run only Quartus analysis and elaboration. It completes the `setup` stage, passes `-end synthesis` to the Quartus compilation flow and exits without running the `finish` stage.	Optional
`--stage`	`all` \| `setup` \| `compile` \| `finish`	Controls which portion of the OFS build is run. - `all`: Run all build stages (default) - `setup`: Initialize a project in the work directory - `compile`: Run the Quartus compilation flow on a project that was already initialized with `setup` - `finish`: Complete OFS post-compilation tasks, such as generating flash images and, if `-p` is set, generating a release.	Optional
`--ofss`	`<ip_config>`	Used to modify IP, such as the PCIe SS, using .ofss configuration files. This parameter is consumed during the setup stage and IP is updated only inside the work tree. More than one .ofss file may be passed to the `--ofss` switch by concatenating them separated by commas. For example: `--ofss config_a.ofss,config_b.ofss`.	Optional
`<build_target>`	`n6000` \| `n6001` \| `fseries-dk` \| `iseries-dk`	Specifies which board is being targeted.	Required
`<fim_options>`	`flat` \| `null_he_lb` \| `null_he_hssi` \| `null_he_mem` \| `null_he_mem_tg` \| `no_hssi`	Used to change how the FIM is built. • `flat` - Compiles a flat design (no PR assignments). This is useful for bringing up the design on a new board without dealing with PR complexity. • `null_he_lb` - Replaces the Host Exerciser Loopback (HE_LBK) with `he_null`. • `null_he_hssi` - Replaces the Host Exerciser HSSI (HE_HSSI) with `he_null`. • `null_he_mem` - Replaces the Host Exerciser Memory (HE_MEM) with `he_null`. • `null_he_mem_tg` - Replaces the Host Exerciser Memory Traffic Generator with `he_null`. • `no_hssi` - Removes the HSSI-SS from the FIM. More than one FIM option may be passed included in the `<fim_options>` list by concatenating them separated by commas. For example: `<build_target>:flat,null_he_lb,null_he_hssi`	Optional
`<work_dir_name>`	String	Specifies the name of the work directory in which the FIM will be built. If not specified, the default target is `$OFS_ROOTDIR/work`	Optional

Refer to Compile OFS FIM which provides step-by-step instructions for running the build_top.sh script with some of the different available options.

2.1.1.1 Build Work Directory¶

The build script copies source files from the existing cloned repository into the specified work directory, which are then used for compilation. As such, any changes made in the base source files will be included in all subsequent builds, unless the -k option is used, in which case an existing work directories files are used as-is. Likewise, any changes made in a work directory is only applied to that work directory, and will not be updated in the base repository by default. When using OFSS files to modify the design, the build script will create a work directory and make the modifications in the work directory.

2.1.1.2 Null Host Exercisers¶

An HE_NULL FIM refers to a design with one, some, or all of the Host Exercisers replaced by he_null blocks. The he_null is a minimal block with CSRs that responds to PCIe MMIO requests in order to keep PCIe alive. You may use any of the build flows (flat, in-tree, out-of-tree) with the HE_NULL compile options. The HE_NULL compile options are as follows:

null_he_lb - Replaces the Host Exerciser Loopback (HE_LBK) with he_null
null_he_hssi - Replaces the Host Exerciser HSSI (HE_HSSI) with he_null
null_he_mem - Replaces the Host Exerciser Memory (HE_MEM) with he_null
null_he_mem_tg - Replaces the Host Exerciser Memory Traffic Generator with he_null

The Compile OFS FIM section gives step-by-step instructions for this flow.

2.1.2 OFSS File Usage¶

The OFS FIM build script can use OFSS files to easily customize design IP prior to compilation using preset configurations. The OFSS files specify certain parameters for different IPs. Using OFSS is provided as a convenience feature for building FIMs. The Provided OFSS Files table below describes the pre-made OFSS files for the n6001 that can be found in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config directory. Only the OFSS files listed in this table are compatible with the n6001 In order to compile an n6001 FIM, you must supply OFSS files corresponding to each IP that is present in your design.

^[1] The memory.ofss file can be used for the N6000, however, the default N6000 FIM does not implement the Memory Sub-system. Refer to Section 4.7.2 for step-by-step instructions on how to enable the Memory sub-system

There can typically be three sections contained within an OFSS file.

[include]
- This section of an OFSS file contains elements separated by a newline, where each element is the path to an OFSS file that is to be included for configuration by the OFSS Configuration Tool. Ensure that any environment variables (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR) is set correctly. The OFSS Config tool uses breadth first search to include all of the specified OFSS files; the ordering of OFSS files does not matter

[ip]
- This section of an OFSS file contains a key value pair that allows the OFSS Config tool to determine which IP configuration is being passed in. The currently supported values of IP are ofs, iopll, pcie, memory, and hssi.

[settings]
- This section of an OFSS file contains IP specific settings. Refer to an existing IP OFSS file to see what IP settings are set. For the IP type `ofss``, the settings will be information of the OFS device (platform, family, fim, part #, device_id)

2.1.2.1 Platform OFSS File¶

The <platform>.ofss file (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss) is the platform level OFSS wrapper file. This is typically the OFSS file that is provided to the build script. It only contains an include section which lists all other OFSS files that are to be used when the <platform>.ofss file is passed to the build script.

The generic structure of a <platform>.ofss file is as follows:

[include]
<PATH_TO_PLATFORM_BASE_OFSS_FILE>
<PATH_TO_PCIE_OFSS_FILE>
<PATH_TO_IOPLL_OFSS_FILE>
<PATH_TO_MEMORY_OFSS_FILE>
<PATH_TO_HSSI_OFSS_FILE>

2.1.2.2 OFS IP OFSS File¶

An OFSS file with IP type ofs (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001_base.ofss) contains board specific information for the target board.

Currently supported configuration options for an OFSS file with IP type ofs are described in the OFS IP OFSS File Options table.

Table: OFS IP OFSS File Options

Section	Parameter	n6001 Default Value	n6000 Default Value
`[ip]`	`type`	`ofs`	`ofs`
`[settings]`	`platform`	`n6001`	`n6000`
	`family`	`agilex`	`agilex`
	`fim`	`base_x16`	`base_x16`
	`part`	`AGFB014R24A2E2V`	`AGFB014R24A2E2V`
	`device_id`	`6001`	`6000`

2.1.2.3 PCIe IP OFSS File¶

An OFSS file with IP type pcie (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host.ofss) is used to configure the PCIe-SS in the FIM.

The PCIe OFSS file has a special section type ([pf*]) which is used to define physical functions (PFs) in the FIM. Each PF has a dedicated section, where the * character is replaced with the PF number. For example, [pf0], [pf1], etc. For reference FIM configurations, you must have at least 1 PF with 1VF, or 2PFs. This is because the PR region cannot be left unconnected. PFs must be consecutive. The PFVF Limitations table describes the supported number of PFs and VFs.

Table: PF/VF Limitations

Parameter	Value
Min # of PFs	1 (on PF0)
Max # of PFs	8
Min # of VFs	0 (if 2PFs are used)
Max # of VFs	2000 distributed across all PFs

Currently supported configuration options for an OFSS file with IP type pcie are described in the PCIe IP OFSS File Options table.

When using a PCIe IP OFSS file during compilation, the PCIe-SS IP that is used will be defined based on the values in the PCIe IP OFSS file plus the parameters defined in pcie_ss_component_parameters.py.

2.1.2.4 IOPLL IP OFSS File¶

An OFSS file with IP type iopll (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/iopll/iopll.ofss) is used to configure the IOPLL in the FIM.

The IOPLL OFSS file has a special section type ([p_clk]) which is used to define the IOPLL clock frequency.

Currently supported configuration options for an OFSS file with IP type iopll are described in the IOPLL OFSS File Options table.

2.1.2.5 Memory IP OFSS File¶

An OFSS file with IP type memory (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss) is used to configure the Memory-SS in the FIM.

The Memory OFSS file specifies a preset value, which selects a presets file (.qprs) to configure the Memory-SS.

Currently supported configuration options for an OFSS file with IP type memory are described in the Memory OFSS File Options table.

^[1] You may generate your own .qprs presets file with a unique name using Quartus.

Memory-SS presets files are stored in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/mem/qip/presets directory.

2.1.2.6 HSSI IP OFSS File¶

An OFSS file with IP type hssi (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x25.ofss) is used to configure the Ethernet-SS in the FIM.

Currently supported configuration options for an OFSS file with IP type hssi are described in the HSSI OFSS File Options table.

Ethernet-SS presets are stored in $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/hssi/qip/hssi_ss/presets directory.

2.1.3 OFS Build Script Outputs¶

The output files resulting from running the the OFS FIM build_top.sh build script are copied to a single directory during the finish stage of the build script. The path for this directory is:

For N6001: $OFS_ROOTDIR/<WORK_DIRECTORY>/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/output_files
For N6000: $OFS_ROOTDIR/<WORK_DIRECTORY>/syn/board/n6000/syn_top/output_files

The output files include programmable images and compilation reports. The OFS Build Script Output Descriptions table describes the images that are generated by the build script.

Table: OFS Build Script Output Descriptions

File	Description
ofs_top[_hps].bin	This is an intermediate, raw binary file. This intermediate raw binary file is produced by taking the Quartus generated .sof file, and converting it to .pof using quartus_pfg, then converting the .pof to .hexout using quartus_cpf, and finally converting the .hexout to .bin using objcopy. Depending on whether the FPGA design contains an HPS block, a different file will be generated. ofs_top.bin - Raw binary image of the FPGA generated if there is no HPS present in the design. ofs_top_hps.bin - Raw binary image of the FPGA generated if there is an HPS present in the design.
ofs_top_page1.bin	This is the binary of the Factory Image and is the input to PACSign utility to generate ofs_top_page1_unsigned.bin binary image file. This image will carry binary content for the HPS if it is included in the SOF image.
ofs_top_page0_factory.bin	This is an input file to PACSign to generate ofs_top_page0_unsigned_factory.bin.
ofs_top_page0_unsigned_factory.bin	This is the unsigned PACSign output generated for the Factory Image.
ofs_top_page1_user1.bin	This is an input file to PACSign to generate ofs_top_page1_unsigned_user1.bin. This file is created by taking the ofs_top_[hps].bin file and assigning the User1 or appending factory block information.
ofs_top_page1_unsigned_user1.bin	This is the unsigned FPGA binary image generated by the PACSign utility for the User1 Image. This file is used to load the FPGA flash User1 Image using the fpgasupdate tool.
ofs_top_page2_user2.bin	This is an input file to PACSign to generate ofs_top_page2_unsigned_user2.bin. This file is created by taking the ofs_top_[hps].bin file and assigning the User2 or appending factory block information.
ofs_top_page2_unsigned_user2.bin	This is the unsigned FPGA binary image generated by the PACSign utility for the User2 Image. This file is used to load the FPGA flash User2 Image using the fpgasupdate tool.
ofs_top_hps.sof	If your design contains an Agilex® 7 FPGA Hard Processor System, then the build assembly process combines the FPGA ofs_top.sof programming file with `u-boot-spl-dtb.hex` to produce this file.

2.2 Compilation Flows¶

This section provides information for using the build script to generate different FIM types. Walkthroughs are provided for each compilation flow. These walkthroughs require that the development environment has been set up as described in the Set Up Development Environment section.

2.2.1 Flat FIM¶

A flat FIM is compiled such that there is no partial reconfiguration region, and the entire design is built as a flat design. This is useful for compiling new designs without worrying about the complexity introduced by partial reconfiguration. The flat compile removes the PR region and PR IP; thus, you cannot use the -p build flag when using the flat compile setting. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM Section for step-by-step instructions for this flow.

2.2.2 In-Tree PR FIM¶

An In-Tree PR FIM is the default compilation if no compile flags or compile settings are used. This flow will compile the design with the partial reconfiguration region, but it will not create a relocatable PR directory tree to aid in AFU development. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM Section for step-by-step instructions for this flow.

2.2.3 Out-of-Tree PR FIM¶

An Out-of-Tree PR FIM will compile the design with the partial reconfiguration region, and will create a relocatable PR directory tree to aid in AFU workload development. This is especially useful if you are developing a FIM to be used by another team developing AFU workloads. This is the recommended build flow in most cases. There are two ways to create the relocatable PR directory tree:

Run the FIM build script with the -p option. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM Section for step-by-step instructions for this flow.
Run the generate_pr_release.sh script after running the FIM build script. Refer to the Walkthrough: Manually Generate OFS Out-Of-Tree PR FIM Section step-by-step instructions for this flow.

In both cases, the generate_pr_release.sh is run to create the relocatable build tree. This script is located at $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/generate_pr_release.sh. Usage for this script is as follows:

generate_pr_release.sh -t <PATH_OF_RELOCATABLE_PR_TREE> <BOARD_TARGET> <WORK_DIRECTORY>

The Generate PR Release Script Options table describes the options for the generate_pr_release.sh script.

Table: Generate PR Release Script Options

Parameter	Options	Description
`<PATH_OF_RELOCATABLE_PR_TREE>`	String	Specifies the location of the relocatable PR directory tree to be created.
`<BOARD_TARGET>`	`n6001` \| `n6000` \| `fseries-dk` \| `iseries-dk`	Specifies the name of the board target.
`<WORK_DIRECTORY>`	String	Specifies the existing work directory from which the relocatable PR directory tree will be created from.

After generating the relocatable build tree, it is located in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/<WORK_DIRECTORY>/pr_build_template directory (or the directory you specified if generated separately). The contents of this directory have the following structure:

├── bin
├── ├── afu_synth
├── ├── qar_gen
├── ├── update_pim

You may change the seed which is used by the build script during Quartus compilation to change the starting point of the fitter. Trying different seeds is useful when your design is failing timing by a small amount.

2.2.7.1 Walkthrough: Change the Compilation Seed¶

Perform the following steps to change the compilation seed for the FIM build.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Edit the SEED assignment in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/<board_name>/syn_top/ofs_top.qsf file to your desired seed value. The value can be any non-negative integer value.

For example, for n6001:
```
vim $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/ofs_top.qsf
```
```
set_global_assignment -name SEED 1
```
Build the FIM. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM section for instructions.

3. FIM Simulation¶

Unit level simulation of key components in the FIM is provided for verification of the following areas:

Ethernet
PCIe
External Memory
Core FIM

The Unit Level simulations work with Synopsys VCS/VCSMX or Mentor Graphics Questasim simulators. The scripts to run each unit level simulation are located in $OFS_ROOTDIR/sim/unit_test. Each unit test directory contains a README which describes the test in detail.

3.1 Simulation File Generation¶

The simulation files must be generated prior to running unit level simulations. The script to generate simulation files is in the following location:

$OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/sim/gen_sim_files.sh

The usage of the gen_sim_files.sh script is as follows:

gen_sim_files.sh [--ofss=<ip_config>] <build_target>[:<fim_options>] [<device>] [<family>]

The Gen Sim Files Script Options table describes the options for the gen_sim_files.sh script.

Table: Gen Sim Files Script Options

Field	Options	Description	Requirement
`--ofss`	`<ip_config>`	Used to modify IP, such as the PCIe SS, using .ofss configuration files. More than one .ofss file may be passed to the `--ofss` switch by concatenating them separated by commas. For example: `--ofss config_a.ofss,config_b.ofss`.	Platform Dependent^[1]
`<build_target>`	`n6001` \| `n6000` \| `fseries-dk` \| `iseries-dk`	Specifies which board is being targeted.	Required
`<fim_options>`	`null_he_lb` \| `null_he_hssi` \| `null_he_mem` \| `null_he_mem_tg`	Used to change how the FIM is built. - `null_he_lb` - Replaces the Host Exerciser Loopback (HE_LBK) with `he_null`. - `null_he_hssi` - Replaces the Host Exerciser HSSI (HE_HSSI) with `he_null`. - `null_he_mem` - Replaces the Host Exerciser Memory (HE_MEM) with `he_null`. - `null_he_mem_tg` - Replaces the Host Exerciser Memory Traffic Generator with `he_null`. More than one FIM option may be passed included in the `<fim_options>` list by concatenating them separated by commas. For example: `<build_target>:null_he_lb,null_he_hssi`	Optional
`<device>`	string	Specifies the device ID for the target FPGA. If not specified, the default device is parsed from the `QSF` file for the project.	Optional
`<family>`	string	Specifies the family for the target FPGA. If not specified, the default family is parsed from the `QSF` file for the project.	Optional

^[1] Using OFSS is required for the N6000, F-Series Development Kit (2xF-Tile), and the I-Series Development Kit (2xR-Tile, 1xF-Tile).

Refer to the Run Individual Unit Level Simulation section for an example of the simulation files generation flow.

When running regression tests, you may use the -g command line argument to generate simulation files; refer to the Run Regression Unit Level Simulation section for step-by-step instructions.

3.2 Individual Unit Tests¶

Each unit test may be run individually using the run_sim.sh script located in the following directory:

$OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/sim/run_sim.sh

The usage for the run_sim.sh script is as follows:

sh run_sim.sh TEST=<test> [VCSMX=<0|1> | MSIM=<0|1>]

The Run Sim Script Options table describes the options for the run_sim.sh script.

Table: Run Sim Script Options

Field	Options	Description
`TEST`	String	Specify the name of the test to run, e.g. `dfh_walker`
`VCSMX`	`0` \| `1`	When set, the VCSMX simulator will be used
`MSIM`	`0` \| `1`	When set, the QuestaSim simulator will be used

Note: The default simulator is VCS if neither VCSMX nor MSIM are set.

The log for a unit test is stored in a transcript file in the simulation directory of the test that was run.

$OFS_ROOTDIR/sim/unit_test/<TEST_NAME>/<SIMULATOR>/transcript

For example, the log for the DFH walker test using VCSMX would be found at:

$OFS_ROOTDIR/sim/unit_test/dfh_walker/sim_vcsmx/transcript

The simulation waveform database is saved as vcdplus.vpd for post simulation review.

3.2.1 Walkthrough: Run Individual Unit Level Simulation¶

Perform the following steps to run an individual unit test.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Clone the FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.

Navigate to the simulation directory.

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/sim

Generate the simulation files for the target design.

N6001

./gen_sim_files.sh --ofss=$OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001

N6000

./gen_sim_files.sh --ofss=$OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6000.ofss n6000

Navigate to the common simulation directory

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/sim

Run the desired unit test using your desired simulator

Using VCS
```
sh run_sim.sh TEST=<test_name>
```

Using VCSMX
```
sh run_sim.sh TEST=<test_name> VCSMX=1
```

Using QuestaSim
```
sh run_sim.sh TEST=<test_name> MSIM=1
```

For example, to run the DFH walker test using VCSMX:
```
sh run_sim.sh TEST=dfh_walker VCSMX=1
```

Once the test is complete, check the output for the simulation results. Review the log for detailed test results.

$OFS_ROOTDIR/sim/unit_test/scripts/regress_run.py

The usage of the regression script is as follows:

regress_run.py [-h] [-l] [-n <num_procs>] [-k <test_package>] [-s <simulator>] [-g] [--ofss <ip_config>] [-b <board_name>] [-e]

The Regression Unit Test Script Options table describes the options for the regress_run.py script.

Table: Regression Unit Test Script Options

Field	Options	Description
`-h` \| `--help`	N/A	Show the help message and exit
`-l` \| `--local`	N/A	Run regression locally
`-n` \| `--n_procs`	Integer	Maximum number of processes/tests to run in parallel when run locally. This has no effect on farm runs.
`-k` \| `--pack`	`all` \| `fme` \| `he` \| `hssi` \| `list` \| `mem` \| `pmci`	Test package to run during regression. The "list" option will look for a text file named "list.txt" in the "unit_test" directory for a text list of tests to run (top directory names). The default test package is `all`.
`-s` \| `--sim`	`vcs` \| `vcsmx` \| `msim`	Specifies the simulator used for the regression tests. The default simulator is `vcs`
`-g` \| `--gen_sim_files`	N/A	Generate simulation files. This only needs to be done once per repo update. This is the equivalent of running the `gen_sim_files.sh` script.
`-o` \| `--ofss`	`<ip_config>`	Used to modify IP, such as the PCIe SS, using .ofss configuration files. More than one .ofss file may be passed to the `--ofss` switch by concatenating them separated by commas. For example: `--ofss config_a.ofss,config_b.ofss`.

4.1 Adding a new module to the FIM¶

This section provides a information for adding a custom module to the FIM, simulating the new design, compiling the new design, implementing and testing the new design on hardware, and debugging the new design on hardware.

4.1.1 Hello FIM Theory of Operation¶

If you intend to add a new module to the FIM area, then you will need to inform the host software of the new module. The FIM exposes its functionalities to host software through a set of CSR registers that are mapped to an MMIO region (Memory Mapped IO). This set of CSR registers and their operation is described in FIM MMIO Regions.

See FPGA Device Feature List (DFL) Framework Overview for a description of the software process to read and process the linked list of Device Feature Header (DFH) CSRs within a FPGA.

This example will add a hello_fim module to the design. The Hello FIM example adds a simple DFH register and 64bit scratchpad register connected to the Board Peripheral Fabric (BPF) that can be accessed by the Host. You can use this example as the basis for adding a new feature to your FIM.

For the purposes of this example, the hello_fim module instantiation sets the DFH feature ID (FEAT_ID) to 0x100 which is not currently defined. Using an undefined feature ID will result in no driver being used. Normally, a defined feature ID will be used to associate a specific driver with the FPGA module. Refer to the Device Feature List Feature IDs for a list of DFL feature types and IDs. If you are adding a new module to your design, make sure the Type/ID pair does not conflict with existing Type/ID pairs. You may reserve Type/ID pairs by submitting a pull request at the link above.

The Hello FIM design can be verified by Unit Level simulation, Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) simulation, and running in hardware on the n6001 card. The process for these are described in this section.

4.1.1.1 Hello FIM Board Peripheral Fabric (BPF)¶

The Hello FIM module will be connected to the Board Peripheral Fabric (BPF), and will be connected such that it can be mastered by the Host. The BPF is an interconnect generated by Platform Designer. The Hello FIM BPF Interface Diagram figure shows the APF/BPF Master/Slave interactions, as well as the added Hello FIM module.

Figure: Hello FIM BPF Interface Diagram

The BPF fabric is defined in $OFS_ROOTDIR/src/pd_qsys/fabric/bpf.txt.

We will add the Hello FIM module to an un-used address space in the MMIO region. The Hello FIM MMIO Address Layout table below shows the MMIO region for the Host with the Hello FIM module added at base address 0x16000.

Table: Hello FIM MMIO Address Layout

Offset	Feature CSR set
0x00000	FME AFU
0x10000	PCIe Interface
0x12000	QSFP Controller 0
0x13000	QSFP Controller 1
0x14000	E-Tile Ethernet Interface
0x15000	EMIF
0x16000	Hello FIM
0x20000	PMCI Controller
0x40000	ST2MM (Streaming to Memory-Mapped)
0x60000	VUART
0x70000	PR Control & Status (Port Gasket)

0x72000	User Clock (Port Gasket)
0x74000	Remote SignalTap (Port Gasket)
0x80000	AFU Errors (AFU Interface Handler)

4.1.1.2 Hello FIM CSR¶

The Hello FIM CSR will consist of the three registers shown in the Hello FIM CSR table below. The DFH and Hello FIM ID registers are read-only. The Scratchpad register supports read and write accesses.

Table: Hello FIM CSR

Offset	Attribute	Description	Default Value
0x016000	RO	DFH(Device Feature Headers) register	0x30000006a0000100
0x016030	RW	Scrachpad register	0x0
0x016038	RO	Hello FIM ID register	0x6626070150000034

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/src/pd_qsys/fabric/

sh gen_fabrics.sh

Once the script completes, the following new IP is created: $OFS_ROOTDIR/src/pd_qsys/fabric/ip/bpf/bpf_hello_fim_slv.ip.
[OPTIONAL] You may verify the BPF changes have been made correctly by opening bpf.qsys to analyze the BPF.
1. Navigate to the $OFS_ROOTDIR/src/pd_qsys/fabric directory.
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/src/pd_qsys/fabric
```
2. Open the bpf.qsys file.

qsys-edit bpf.qsys --quartus-project=$OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/ofs_top.qpf
```
  - N6000
```
qsys-edit bpf.qsys --quartus-project=$OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6000/syn_top/ofs_top.qpf
```
3. Find the bpf_hello_fim_slv instance:

Compile the Hello FIM design:

Return to the OFS root directory.

4.1.3 Walkthrough: Modify and run unit tests for a FIM that has a new module¶

Perform the following steps to modify the unit test files to support a FIM that has had a new module added to it.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

This walkthrough uses a FIM design that has had a Hello FIM module added to it. Refer to the Add a new module to the OFS FIM section for step-by-step instructions for creating a Hello FIM design. You do not need to compile the design in order to simulate.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.

Modify $OFS_ROOTDIR/sim/unit_test/dfh_walker/test_csr_defs.sv

Add HELLO_FIM_IDX entry to t_dfh_idx enumeration.

...
typedef enum {
    FME_DFH_IDX,
    THERM_MNGM_DFH_IDX,
    GLBL_PERF_DFH_IDX,
    GLBL_ERROR_DFH_IDX,
    QSFP0_DFH_IDX,
    QSFP1_DFH_IDX,
    HSSI_DFH_IDX,
    EMIF_DFH_IDX,
    HELLO_FIM_DFH_IDX,  // New
    PMCI_DFH_IDX,
    ST2MM_DFH_IDX,
    VUART_DFH_IDX,
    PG_PR_DFH_IDX,
    PG_PORT_DFH_IDX,
    PG_USER_CLK_DFH_IDX,
    PG_REMOTE_STP_DFH_IDX,
    AFU_ERR_DFH_IDX,
    MAX_DFH_IDX
} t_dfh_idx;
...

Add HELLO_FIM_DFH to get_dfh_names function.

...
function automatic dfh_name[MAX_DFH_IDX-1:0] get_dfh_names();
...
  dfh_names[PMCI_DFH_IDX]        = "PMCI_DFH";
  dfh_names[HELLO_FIM_DFH_IDX]   = "HELLO_FIM_DFH";  // New
  dfh_names[ST2MM_DFH_IDX]       = "ST2MM_DFH";
...
return dfh_names;
...

Add expected DFH value for Hello FIM to the get_dfh_values function.

...
function automatic [MAX_DFH_IDX-1:0][63:0] get_dfh_values();
...
  dfh_values[PMCI_DFH_IDX]       = 64'h3_00000_xxxxxx_1012;
  dfh_values[PMCI_DFH_IDX][39:16] = fabric_width_pkg::bpf_pmci_slv_next_dfh_offset;

  dfh_values[HELLO_FIM_DFH_IDX]  = 64'h3_00000_xxxxxx_0100;  // New
  dfh_values[HELLO_FIM_DFH_IDX][39:16] = fabric_width_pkg::bpf_hello_fim_slv_next_dfh_offset; // New

  dfh_values[ST2MM_DFH_IDX]      = 64'h3_00000_xxxxxx_0014;
  dfh_values[ST2MM_DFH_IDX][39:16] = fabric_width_pkg::apf_st2mm_slv_next_dfh_offset;
...
return dfh_values;
...

Generate simulation files:

Navigate to the sim directory.

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/sim

Run the gen_sim_files.sh script.

N6001

./gen_sim_files.sh --ofss=$OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001

N6000

./gen_sim_files.sh --ofss=$OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6000.ofss n6000

Run DFH Walker Simulation

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/scripts/common/sim

sh run_sim.sh TEST=dfh_walker

Verify that the test passes, and that the output shows the Hello FIM in the DFH sequence.

4.1.4 Walkthrough: Modify and run UVM tests for a FIM that has a new module¶

Perform the following steps to modify the UVM simulation files to support the Hello FIM design.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

This walkthrough uses a FIM design that has had a Hello FIM module added to it. Refer to the Add a new module to the OFS FIM section for step-by-step instructions for creating a Hello FIM design. You do not need to compile the design in order to simulate.

Steps:

Modify $OFS_ROOTDIR/verification/tests/sequences/dfh_walking_seq.svh

Modify the dfh_offset_array to insert the Hello FIM at dfh_offset_array[8].

dfh_offset_array = new[17];
dfh_offset_array[0] = tb_cfg0.PF0_BAR0;                    // FME_DFH                   0x8000_0000
dfh_offset_array[1] = dfh_offset_array[0] + 64'h0_1000;  // THERM_MNGM_DFH            0x8000_1000
dfh_offset_array[2] = dfh_offset_array[1] + 64'h0_2000;  // GLBL_PERF_DFH             0x8000_3000
dfh_offset_array[3] = dfh_offset_array[2] + 64'h0_1000;  // GLBL_ERROR_DFH            0x8000_4000
dfh_offset_array[4] = dfh_offset_array[3] + 64'h0_E000;  // QSFP0_DFH                 0x8001_2000
dfh_offset_array[5] = dfh_offset_array[4] + 64'h0_1000;  // QSFP1_DFH                 0x8001_3000
dfh_offset_array[6] = dfh_offset_array[5] + 64'h0_1000;  // HSSI_DFH                  0x8001_4000
dfh_offset_array[7] = dfh_offset_array[6] + 64'h0_1000;  // EMIF_DFH                  0x8001_5000
dfh_offset_array[8] = dfh_offset_array[7] + 64'h0_1000;  // HELLO_FIM_DFH                  0x8001_6000
dfh_offset_array[9] = dfh_offset_array[8] + 64'h0_A000;  // PMCI_DFH                  0x8002_0000
dfh_offset_array[10] = dfh_offset_array[9] + 64'h2_0000;  // ST2MM_DFH                 0x8004_0000
dfh_offset_array[11] = dfh_offset_array[10] + 64'h2_0000;  // VUART_DFH                 0x8006_0000
dfh_offset_array[12] = dfh_offset_array[11] + 64'h1_0000;  // PG_PR_DFH_IDX             0x8007_0000
dfh_offset_array[13] = dfh_offset_array[12] + 64'h0_1000;  // PG_PORT_DFH_IDX           0x8007_1000
dfh_offset_array[14] = dfh_offset_array[13] + 64'h0_1000;  // PG_USER_CLK_DFH_IDX       0x8007_2000
dfh_offset_array[15] = dfh_offset_array[14] + 64'h0_1000;  // PG_REMOTE_STP_DFH_IDX     0x8007_3000
dfh_offset_array[16] = dfh_offset_array[15] + 64'h0_D000;  // PG_AFU_ERR_DFH_IDX        0x8008_0000

Modify `$OFS_ROOTDIR/verification/tests/sequences/mmio_seq.svh``

Add test code related to the Hello FIM. This code will verify the scratchpad register at 0x16030 and read only the register at 0x16038.

// HELLO_FIM_Scratchpad 64 bit access
`uvm_info(get_name(), $psprintf("////Accessing PF0 HELLO_FIM_Scratchpad Register %0h+'h16030////", tb_cfg0.PF0_BAR0), UVM_LOW)

assert(std::randomize(wdata));
addr = tb_cfg0.PF0_BAR0+'h1_6000+'h30;

mmio_write64(.addr_(addr), .data_(wdata));
mmio_read64 (.addr_(addr), .data_(rdata));

if(wdata !== rdata)
    `uvm_error(get_name(), $psprintf("Data mismatch 64! Addr = %0h, Exp = %0h, Act = %0h", addr, wdata, rdata))
else
    `uvm_info(get_name(), $psprintf("Data match 64! addr = %0h, data = %0h", addr, rdata), UVM_LOW)

addr = tb_cfg0.PF0_BAR0+'h1_6000+'h38;
wdata = 64'h6626_0701_5000_0034;
mmio_read64 (.addr_(addr), .data_(rdata));
if(wdata !== rdata)
    `uvm_error(get_name(), $psprintf("Data mismatch 64! Addr = %0h, Exp = %0h, Act = %0h", addr, wdata, rdata))
else
    `uvm_info(get_name(), $psprintf("Data match 64! addr = %0h, data = %0h", addr, rdata), UVM_LOW)

Note: uvm_info and uvm_error statements will put a message into log file.

Modify $OFS_ROOTDIR/verification/scripts/Makefile_VCS.mk
1. Add INCLUDE_HELLO_FIM define option to enable Hello FIM on UVM
```
VLOG_OPT += +define+INCLUDE_HELLO_FIM
```
Re-generate the UVM files
1. Navigate to the verification scripts directory
```
cd $VERDIR/scripts
```
2. Clean the output of previous builds
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk clean
```
3. Compile the IP files
  - N6001
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk cmplib_adp
```
  - N6000
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk cmplib_adp n6000_100G=1 DISABLE_EMIF=1
```
    Note: The default N6000 shell has the Memory Sub-System removed, so the DISABLE_EMIF flag must be set when compiling IP files for UVM simulation. If you add the Memory Sub-System back to the shell design, you must run this command without the DISABLE_EMIF flag.
4. Build the RTL and Test Benches
  - N6001
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk build_adp DUMP=1 DEBUG=1
```
  - N6000
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk build_adp DUMP=1 DEBUG=1 n6000_100G=1 DISABLE_EMIF=1
```
    Note: The default N6000 shell has the Memory Sub-System removed, so the DISABLE_EMIF flag must be set when building the RTL and Test Benches for UVM simulation. If you add the Memory Sub-System back to the shell design, you must run this command without the DISABLE_EMIF flag.
Run the UVM DFH Walker Simulation
- N6001
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk run TESTNAME=dfh_walking_test DUMP=1 DEBUG=1
```
- N6000
```
gmake -f Makefile_VCS.mk run TESTNAME=dfh_walking_test DUMP=1 DEBUG=1 n6000_100G=1 DISABLE_EMIF=1
```
  Note: The default N6000 shell has the Memory Sub-System removed, so the DISABLE_EMIF flag must be set when running UVM simulations. If you add the Memory Sub-System back to the shell design, you must run this command without the DISABLE_EMIF flag.

Verify the DFH Walker test results

The output logs are stored in the $VERDIR/sim/dfh_walking_test directory. The main files to note are described in Table 5-3:

Table 5-3 UVM Output Logs

File Name Description

runsim.log A log file of UVM

trans.log A log file of transactions on PCIe bus

inter.vpd A waveform for VCS

Run the following command to quickly verify that the Hello FIM module was successfully accessed. In the example below, the message DFH offset Match! Exp = 80016000 Act = 80016000 shows that the Hello FIM module was successfully accessed.

cd $VERDIR/sim/dfh_walking_test
cat runsim.log | grep "DFH offset"

4.1.5 Walkthrough: Hardware test a FIM that has a new module¶

Perform the following steps to program and hardware test a FIM that has had a new module added to it.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

This walkthrough uses a FIM design that has been generated with a Hello FIM module added to it. Refer to the Add a new module to the OFS FIM section for step-by-step instructions for generating a Hello FIM design.

Steps:

[OPTIONAL] In the work directory where the FIM was compiled, determine the PR Interface ID of your design. You can use this value at the end of the walkthrough to verify that the design has been configured to the FPGA.
1. Navigate to the syn_top directory of the target board in the work directory.
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/<work_directory>/syn/board/<target_board>/syn_top/
```
  As an example:
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/work_n6001/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/
```
2. View the contents of fme-ifc-id.txt.
```
cat fme-ifc-id.txt
```
  Example output:
```
5d4500ed-e5e5-5521-8865-e47f0c517fac
```
Switch to your deployment environment.
Program the FPGA with the Hello FIM image. Refer to the Program the FPGA via RSU Section for step-by-step programming instructions.

Run fpgainfo to determine the PCIe B:D.F of your board, and to verify the PR Interface ID matches the ID you found in Step 1.

4.1.6 Walkthrough: Debug the FIM with Signal Tap¶

The following steps guide you through the process of adding a Signal Tap instance to your design. The added Signal Tap instance provides hardware to capture the desired internal signals and connect the stored trace information via JTAG. Please be aware that the added Signal Tap hardware will consume FPGA resources and may require additional floorplanning steps to accommodate these resources. Some areas of the FIM use logic lock regions and these regions may need to be re-sized.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

This walkthrough uses a FIM design that has had a Hello FIM module added to it. Refer to the Add a new module to the OFS FIM section for step-by-step instructions for creating a Hello FIM design. You do not need to compile the design.

Perform the following steps in your development environment:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.

Synthesize the design using the -e build script option. You may skip this step if you are using a pre-synthesized design.

Navigate to the OFS root directory

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

Run the build_top.sh script for the target board with the -e option.

N6001

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -e --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001 work_hello_fim_with_stp

N6000

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -e --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6000.ofss n6000 work_hello_fim_with_stp

Open the design in Quartus. The Compilation Dashboard should show that the Analysis & Synthesis step has completed.

Note: If a full compile has been done in the work directory you are using, you may need to switch from the ofs_pr_afu view to the ofs_top view.
Open Tools -> Signal Tap Logic Analyzer
1. Select the Default template and click Create
2. Assign the clock for sampling the Signal Tap instrumented signals of interest. Note that the clock selected should correspond to the signals you want to view for best trace fidelity. Different clocks can be used, however, there maybe issues with trace inaccuracy due to sampling time differences. This example instruments the hello_fim_top module previously intetegrated into the FIM. If unfamiliar with code, it is helpful to use the Quartus Project Navigator to find the block of interest and open the design instance for review.
  1. In the Signal Configuration -> Clock box of the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer window, click the "..." button
  2. In the Node Finder tool that opens, type clock into the Named field, and select hello_fim_top_inst in the Look in field, then click Search. Select the hello_fim_top_inst|clk signal from the Matching Nodes box and click the ">" button to move it to the Nodes Found box. Click OK to close the Node Finder dialog.
3. Update the sample depth and other Signal Tap settings as needed for your debugging criteria.
4. In the Signal Tap GUI add the nodes to be instrumented by double-clicking on the "Double-click to add nodes" legend.
5. This brings up the Node Finder to add the signals to be traced. In this example we will monitor the memory mapped interface to the Hello FIM.
  1. In the Named field, enter csr_lite_if*. In the Look In field, select hello_fim_top_inst.
  2. Add the desired nets. In the Object type field select net. Select the nets that appear in the Matching Nodes box. Click the > button to add them to the Nodes Found box.
  3. Add the desired net busses. In the Object type field select net_bus. Select the busses that appear in the Matching Nodes box. Click the > button to add them to the Nodes Found box.
  4. Click Insert and close the Node Finder dialog.
6. To provide a unique name for your Signal Tap instance, select "auto_signaltap_0", right-click, and select Rename Instance (F2). Provide a descriptive name for your instance, for example, stp_for_hello_fim.
7. Save the newly created Signal Tap file, in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/work_hello_fim_with_stp/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/ directory, and give it the same name as the instance. Ensure that the Add file to current project checkbox is ticked.
8. In the dialog that pops up, click "Yes" to add the newly created Signal Tap file to the project settings files.
  
  This will automatically add the following lines to $OFS_ROOTDIR/work_hello_fim_with_stp/syn/board/<board_target>/syn_top/ofs_top.qsf:
```
set_global_assignment -name ENABLE_SIGNALTAP ON
set_global_assignment -name USE_SIGNALTAP_FILE stp_for_hello_fim.stp
set_global_assignment -name SIGNALTAP_FILE stp_for_hello_fim.stp
```
Close all Quartus GUIs.

Compile the project with the Signal Tap file added to the project. Use the -k switch to perform the compilation using the files in a specified working directory and not the original ones from the cloned repository.

N6001

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p -k --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001 work_hello_fim_with_stp

N6000

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p -k --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6000.ofss n6000 work_hello_fim_with_stp

Ensure that the compile completes successfully and meets timing.

```
The signals should be captured on the rising edge of arvalid in this example. Zoom in to get a better view of the signals.

4.2 Preparing FIM for AFU Development¶

To save area, the default Host Excercisers in the FIM can be replaced by a "he_null" blocks. There are a few things to note:

"he_null" is a minimal block with registers that responds to PCIe MMIO request. MMIO responses are required to keep PCIe alive (end points enabled in PCIe-SS needs service downstream requests).
If an exerciser with other I/O connections such as "he_mem" or "he_hssi" is replaced, then then those I/O ports are simply tied off.
The options supported are null_he_lb, null_he_hssi, null_he_mem and null_he_mem_tg. Any combination and order can be enabled at the same time.
Finer grain control is provided for you to, for example, turn off only the exercisers in the Static Region in order to save area.

4.2.1 Walkthrough: Compile the FIM in preparation for designing your AFU¶

Perform the following steps to compile a FIM for where the exercisers are removed and replaced with an he_null module while keeping the PF/VF multiplexor connections.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.

Compile the FIM with the HE_NULL compile options

Navigate to the OFS root directory
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR
```

Run the build_top.sh script with the null host exerciser options.

N6001

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001:null_he_lb,null_he_hssi,null_he_mem,null_he_mem_tg work_n6001

4.3 Partial Reconfiguration Region¶

To take advantage of the available resources in the Agilex® 7 FPGA for an AFU design, you can adjust the size of the AFU PR partition. An example reason for the changing the size of PR region is if you add more logic to the FIM region, then you may need to adjust the PR region to fit the additional logic into the static region. Similarly, if you reduce logic in the FIM region, then you can adjust the PR region to provide more logic resources for the AFU.

After the compilation of the FIM, the resources usage broken down by partitions as reported in the following two files

$OFS_ROOTDIR/<WORDK_DIRECTORY>/syn/board/<TARGET_BOARD>/syn_top/output_files/ofs_top.fit.place.rpt
$OFS_ROOTDIR/<WORDK_DIRECTORY>/syn/board/<TARGET_BOARD>/syn_top/output_files/ofs_top.fit.rpt

An example report of the resources usage by partitions defined for the FIM is shown below.

In this case, the default size for the afu_top|port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main PR partition is large enough to hold the logic of the default AFU, which is mainly occupied by the Host Exercisers. However, larger designs might require additional resources.

4.3.1 Walkthrough: Resize the Partial Reconfiguration Region¶

Perform the following steps to customize the resources allocated to the AFU in the PR regions:

The OFS flow provides the TCL file $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/<TARGET_BOARD>/setup/pr_assignments.tcl which defines the PR partition where the AFU is allocated.

Example contents of this file for the n6000 are shown as follows:

#####################################################
# Main PR Partition -- green_region
#####################################################
set_instance_assignment -name PARTITION green_region -to afu_top|pg_afu.port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main
set_instance_assignment -name CORE_ONLY_PLACE_REGION ON -to afu_top|pg_afu.port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main
set_instance_assignment -name RESERVE_PLACE_REGION ON -to afu_top|pg_afu.port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main
set_instance_assignment -name PARTIAL_RECONFIGURATION_PARTITION ON -to afu_top|pg_afu.port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main

set_instance_assignment -name PLACE_REGION "X76 Y30 X300 Y195" -to afu_top|pg_afu.port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main
set_instance_assignment -name ROUTE_REGION "X0 Y0 X344 Y212" -to afu_top|pg_afu.port_gasket|pr_slot|afu_main

Use Quartus Chip Planner to identify the locations of the resources available within the Agilex® 7 FPGA chip for placement and routing your AFU. You need to identify a pair of coordinates, the origin (X0, Y0) and top right corner (X1, Y1) of the new or existing rectangles to modify as shown in the following image of the n6000 Chip Planner view.

The coordinates of the top right corner of the lock regions are computed indirectly based on the Width and Height, as follows.

X1 = X0 + Width 
Y1 = Y0 + Height

Make changes to the pr_assignments.tcl based on your findings in Quartus Chip Planner. You can modify the size and location of existing lock regions or add new ones and assign them to the AFU PR partition.
Build your FIM and create the PR relocatable build tree using the build_top.sh script. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM section for step-by-step compilation instructions.
Analyze the resource utilization report per partition produced after recompiling the FIM.
Perform further modification to the PR regions until the results are satisfactory. Make sure timing constraints are met.

For more information on how to optimize the floor plan of your Partial Reconfiguration design refer to the following online documentation.

Analyzing and Optimizing the Design Floorplan

Partial Reconfiguration Design Flow - Step 3 - Floorplan the Design

4.4 PCIe Configuration¶

The PCIe sub-system IP and PF/VF MUX can be modified either using the OFSS flow or the IP Presets flow. The OFSS flow supports a subset of all available PCIe Sub-system settings, while the IP Preset flow can make any available PCIe Sub-system settings change. With PCIe-SS modifcations related to the PFs and VFs, the PF/VF MUX logic is automatically configured based on the PCIe-SS configuration when using OFSS. The sections below describe each flow.

4.4.1 PF/VF MUX Configuration¶

The default PF/VF MUX configuration for OFS PCIe Attach FIM for the n6001 can support up to 8 PFs and 2000 VFs distributed accross all PFs.

For reference FIM configurations, you must have at least 1 PF with 1VF, or 2PFs. This is because the PR region cannot be left unconnected. PFs must be consecutive. The PFVF Limitations table describes the supported number of PFs and VFs.

Table: PF/VF Limitations

Parameter	Value
Min # of PFs	1 (on PF0)
Max # of PFs	8
Min # of VFs	1 on PF0 (0 if 2PFs present)
Max # of VFs	2000 distributed across all PFs

New PF or VF instances will automatically have a null_afu module instantiated and connected to the new PF or VF.

4.4.2 PCIe-SS Configuration Registers¶

The PCIe-SS configuration registers contain the Vendor, Device and Subsystem Vendor ID registers which are used in PCIe add-in cards to uniquely identify the card for assignment to software drivers. OFS has these registers set with Intel values for out of the box usage. If you are using OFS for a PCIe add in card that your company manufactures, then update the PCIe Subsytem Subsystem ID and Vendor ID registers as described below and change OPAE provided software code to properly operate with your company's register values.

The Vendor ID is assigned to your company by the PCI-SIG (Special Interest Group). The PCI-SIG is the only body officially licensed to give out IDs. You must be a member of PCI-SIG to request your own ID. Information about joining PCI-SIG is available here: PCI-SIG. You select the Subsystem Device ID for your PCIe add in card.

4.4.3 PCIe Configuration Using OFSS¶

The general flow for using OFSS to modify the PCIe Sub-system and PF/VF MUX is as follows:

Create or modify a PCIe OFSS file with the desired PCIe configuration.
Call this PCIe OFSS file when running the FIM build script.

The PCIe IP OFSS File Options table lists all of the configuration options supported by the OFSS flow. Any other customizations to the PCIe sub-system must be done with the IP Presets Flow.

Table: PCIe IP OFSS File Options

Section	Parameter	Options	Default	Description
`[ip]`	`type`	`pcie`	N/A	Specifies that this OFSS file configures the PCIe-SS
`[settings]`	`output_name`	`pcie_ss`	N/A	Specifies the output name of the PCIe-SS IP
	`preset`	String	N/A	OPTIONAL - Specifies the name of a PCIe-SS IP presets file to use when building the FIM. When used, a presets file will take priority over any other parameters set in this OFSS file.

4.4.3.1 Walkthrough: Modify the PCIe Sub-System and PF/VF MUX Configuration Using OFSS¶

Perform the following steps to modify the PF/VF MUX configuration.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.

View the default PCIe OFSS file contents. For example, the n6001 default PCIe OFSS configuration is defined in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host.ofss file.

[ip]
type = pcie

[settings]
output_name = pcie_ss

[pf0]
num_vfs = 3
bar0_address_width = 20
vf_bar0_address_width = 20

[pf1]

[pf2]
bar0_address_width = 18

[pf3]

[pf4]

Create a new PCIe OFSS file from the existing pcie_host.ofss file

cp $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host.ofss $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_pfvf_mod.ofss

Configure the new pcie_pfvf_mod.ofss with your desired settings. In this example we will add PF5 with 2 VFs.

[ip]
type = pcie

[settings]
output_name = pcie_ss

[pf0]
num_vfs = 3
bar0_address_width = 20
vf_bar0_address_width = 20

[pf1]

[pf2]
bar0_address_width = 18

[pf3]

[pf4]

[pf5]
num_vfs = 2

Edit the top level OFSS file to use the new PCIe OFSS file pcie_pf_vf_mod.ofss. In this example, we will edit the n6001 top level OFSS file $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss.

[include]
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/n6001_base.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_pfvf_mod.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/iopll/iopll.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss

Compile the FIM. In this example we are targeting the n6001 board.

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001 work_n6001_pfvf_mod

Copy the resulting .bin user 1 image to your deployment environmenment.
Switch to your deployment environment.
Program the .bin image to the n6001 FPGA. Refer to the Program the FPGA via RSU Section for step-by-step programming instructions.

Verify the number of VFs on the newly added PF8. In this example, we defined 2 VFs on PF5 in Step 5.

sudo lspci -vvv -s 98:00.5 | grep VF

Example output:

Initial VFs: 2, Total VFs: 2, Number of VFs: 0, Function Dependency Link: 05
VF offset: 4, stride: 1, Device ID: bccf
VF Migration: offset: 00000000, BIR: 0

Verify communication with the newly added PF5. New PF/VF are seamlessly connected to their own CSR stub, which can be read at DFH Offset 0x0. You can bind to the function and perform opae.io peek commands to read from the stub CSR. Similarly, perform opae.io poke commands to write into the stub CSRs. Use this mechanism to verify that the new PF/VF Mux configuration allows to write and read back values from the stub CSRs.

The GUID for every new PF/VF CSR stub is the same.

* NULL_GUID_L           = 64'haa31f54a3e403501
* NULL_GUID_H           = 64'h3e7b60a0df2d4850

1. Initialize the driver on PF5

```bash
sudo opae.io init -d 98:00.5
```

2. Read the GUID for the PF5 CSR stub.

```bash
sudo opae.io -d 98:00.5 -r 0 peek 0x8
sudo opae.io -d 98:00.5 -r 0 peek 0x10
```

Example output:

```bash
0xaa31f54a3e403501
0x3e7b60a0df2d4850
```

4.4.4 PCIe Sub-System configuration Using IP Presets¶

The general flow for using IP Presets to modify he PCIe Sub-system is as follows:

[OPTIONAL] Create a work directory using OFSS files if you wish to use OFSS configuration settings as a starting point.
Open the PCIe-SS IP and make desired modifications.
Create an IP Presets file.
Create an PCIe OFSS file that uses the IP Presets file.
Build the FIM with the PCIe OFSS file from Step 4.

4.4.4.1 Walkthrough: Modify PCIe Sub-System and PF/VF MUX Configuration Using IP Presets¶

Perform the following steps to use an IP preset file to configure the PCIe Sub-system and PF/VF MUX. In this example, we will change the Revision ID on PF0. While this modification can be done with the OFSS flow, this walkthrough is intended to show the procedure for making any PCIe configuration change using IP presets. This walkthrough targets the n6001, but similar steps can be applied to the n6000.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment to build the FIM. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment to test the design. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
[OPTIONAL] Run the setup stage of the build script using your desired OFSS configration to create a working directory for the target board. In this example we will target the n6001.
```
./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh --stage setup --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001 work_n6001
```
Open the PCIe-SS in the work directory using Quartus Parameter Editor. If you performed Step 3, open the PCIe-SS IP from the work directory; otherwise, open the PCIe-SS IP from the source files.
```
qsys-edit $OFS_ROOTDIR/work_n6001/ipss/pcie/qip/pcie_ss.ip
```
Modify the settings as desired. In this example we are changing the Device ID to 0xbccf and the Revision ID to 0x2. In the IP Parameter Editor, scroll down and expand the PCIe Interfaces Ports Settings -> Port 0 -> PCIe0 Device Identification Registers -> PCIe0 PF0 IDs tab and make these changes.
Once you are satisfied with your modifcations, create a new IP Preset file.
1. click New... in the Presets window.
2. In the New Preset window, set a unique Name for the preset; for example, n6001-rev2.
3. Click the ... button to set the save location for the IP Preset file to $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/pcie/presets. Set the File Name to match the name selected in Step 9. Click OK.
4. In the New Preset window, click Save. Click No when prompted to add the file to the IP search path.
Close IP Parameter Editor without saving or generating HDL.
Create a new PCIe OFSS file in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/pcie directory. For example:
```
touch $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host_mod_preset.ofss
```
Insert the following into the OFSS file to specify the IP Preset file created in Step 6.
```
[ip]
type = pcie

[settings]
output_name = pcie_ss
preset = n6001-rev2
```
Edit the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss file to call new OFSS file created in Step 10.

[include] "$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/n6001_base.ofss "$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host_mod_preset.ofss "$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/iopll/iopll.ofss "$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss

Compile the design with the modified n6001.ofss file.

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss,tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x25.ofss n6001 work_n6001_pcie_mod

Copy the resulting $OFS_ROOTDIR/work_n6001_pcie_mod/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/output_files/ofs_top_hps.sof image to your deployment environmenment for JTAG programming, or copy a bin file (e.g. ofs_top_page1_unsigned_user1.bin) for RSU programming.

Note: OPAE FPGA management commands require recognition of the FPGA PCIe Device ID for control. If there is a problem between OPAE management recognition of FPGA PCIe values, then control of the card will be lost. For this reason, you are strongly encouraged to program the FPGA via JTAG to load the test FPGA image. If there is a problem with the SOF image working with your host software that is updated for the new PCIe settings, then you can load a known good SOF file to recover. Once you sure that both the software and FPGA work properly, you can load the FPGA into FPGA flash using the OPAE command fpgasupdate.
Switch to your deployment environment.
Program the image to the n6001 FPGA. Refer to the Program the FPGA via JTAG Section for step-by-step JTAG programming instructions, or the Program the FPGA via RSU Section for step-by-step RSU programming instructions.

Use lspci to verify that the PCIe changes have been implemented.

lspci -nvmms 98:00.0

4.5 Minimal FIM¶

In a minimal FIM, the exercisers and Ethernet subsystem are removed from the design, and the AFU PR area is expanded to make use of the available area previously used by the removed components. This minimal FIM is useful for HDL applications.

There are two types of provided minimal FIMs:

2PF: this minimal FIM has two physical functions, with the APF/BPF on PF0, and the AFU PR region on PF1.

1PF/1VF: This minmal FIM has a single physical function, with the APF/BPF on PF0, and the AFU PR region on PF0-VF0.

The FIM source repository contains OFSS file that can be used to build the two different types of minimal FIM.

$OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001_2pf.ofss
$OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001_1pf_1vf.ofss

4.5.1 Walkthrough: Create a Minimal FIM¶

Perform the following steps to create a Minimal FIM. A minimal FIM is one that has the host exercisers and ethernet subsystem removed. This frees up resources that can be used.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
[N6001 ONLY] The OFS FIM repo provides a PR assignments TCL file which optimizes the PR region for the minimal FIM. Copy the minimal PR assignments TCL file into the pr_assignments.tcl file location for use in the FIM build process.
1. Rename the current pr_assignments.tcl file to pr_assignments_base.tcl for future use
```
mv $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/pr_assignments.tcl $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/pr_assignments_base.tcl
```

4.6 Migrate to a Different Agilex Device Number¶

The following instructions enable a user to change the device part number of the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL. Please be aware that this release works with Agilex® 7 FPGA devices that have P tile for PCIe and E tile for Ethernet. Other tiles will take further work.

You may wish to change the device part number for the following reasons

Migrate to same device package but with a different density
Migrate to a different package and with a different or same density

The default device for the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL is AGFB014R24A2E2V

4.6.1 Walkthrough: Migrate to a Different Agilex Device Number¶

Perform the following steps to migrate your design to target a different Agilex device using the OFSS build flow. In this example we will change the device from the default AGFB014R24A2E2V to a new device AGFB022R25A2E2V. This walkthrough will target the n6001, but similar steps can be used for the n6000.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Modify the part field in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001_base.ofss file to use AGFB022R25A2E2V. This is only necessary if you are using the OFSS flow.
```
[ip]
type = ofs

[settings]
platform = n6001
family = agilex
fim = base_x16
part = AGFB022R25A2E2V
device_id = 6001
```

Modify the DEVICE field in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/syn_top/ofs_top.qsf file.

```
If you are changing to a device with a different package, you must change the pin assignments in the location files. If you would like Quartus to attempt to pin out the design automatically, you may remove all pin assignments instead. Typically you will be required to set certain pins manually in order to guide Quartus for a successful compile (e.g. transceiver reference clocks). In this example we will start by commenting out all of the pin constraints in the following files and attempt to let Quartus pin out the design as much as possibe:
```
$OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/emif_loc.tcl
$OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/hps_loc.tcl
$OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/pmci_loc.tcl
$OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/top_loc.tcl
```
For example:
```
#set_location_assignment PIN_CU26 -to hssi_rec_clk[0]
```

Identify the pins you wish to assign prior to compiling. In this example, we will re-pin some of the reference clocks to help guide the fitter. Refer to the Pin-Out Files for Altera FPGAs for the pin list of your device. In this example, the Migration Re-Pin Mapping table below shows the pins we will re-pin in the constraints files.

Compile a flat design. It is recommended to compile a flat design first before incorporating a PR region in the design. This reduces design complexity while you determine the correct pinout for your design.
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001:flat work_n6001_migrate_device_ofss
```

The compile should succeed. If the compile fails with errors relating to the pinout, review the error messages and modify the pinout.

4.7 Modify the Memory Sub-System¶

OFS allows modifications on the Memory Sub-System in the FIM. This section provides an example walkthrough for modifiying the Memory-SS.

4.7.1 Walkthrough: Modify the Memory Sub-System Using IP Presets With OFSS¶

This walkthrough will go through the flow of modifying the Memory-SS in the OFS FIM. In this example, we will enable ECC on memory channels 0-3. Note that routes for the ECC pins on Channels 0 and 1 are not physiclly present on standard n6001/n6000 board hardware; the purpose of this walkthrough is only to show an example of how to make modifications to the IP. This walkthrough targets the n6001 board, but similar steps can be used for the n6000.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Open the Memory Subsystem mem_ss.ip in IP Parameter Editor
```
qsys-edit $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/mem/qip/mem_ss/mem_ss.ip
```
The Memory Subsystem IP will open in IP Parameter Editor. Click Dive Into Packaged Subsystem.
The Platform Designer mem_ss view opens. All of the EMIFs are shown in the Filter window.
Click each EMIF 0 through 3 and perform the following actions.
1. In the Parameters window, click the Memory tab and change the DQ width to 40.
2. In the Parameters window, click the Controller tab.
3. Scroll down and check the box for Enable Error Detection and Correction Logic with ECC.
Once Step 6 has been done for each EMIF 0-3, click File -> Save. Close the Platform Designer window.
In the IP Parameter Editor Presets window, click New to create an IP Presets file.
In the New Preset window, set the Name for the preset. In this case we will name it n6001-ecc.
Click the ... button to select the location for the Preset file.
In the Save As window, change the save location to $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/mem/qip/presets and change the File Name to n6001-ecc.qprs. Click OK.
Click Save in the New Preset window. Click No when prompted to add the file to the IP search path.
Close the IP Parameter Editor. You do not need to generate or save the IP.

Edit the $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/emif_loc.tcl file to add pin assignments for the new signals supporting ECC on Channels 0-3. Note that routes for the ECC pins on Channels 0 and 1 are not physiclly present on a standard n6001 board.

Edit the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss file to use the n6001-ecc preset that was generated previously.
```
[ip]
type = memory

[settings]
output_name = mem_ss_fm
preset = n6001-ecc
```

Compile the design with the n6001.ofss file, which will use the modified memory.ofss file.

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss,tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x25.ofss n6001 work_n6001_mem_ecc_preset

4.7.2 Walkthrough: Add or remove the Memory Sub-System¶

The Memory Sub-System can be added or removed to the FIM design using the INCLUDE_DDR4 macro defined in the ofs_top.qsf file. The Memory-SS is enabled by default in the n6001, and is disabled by default in the n6000.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Edit the ofs_top.qsf file to either enable or disable the INCLUDE_DDR4 macro. Comment out this macro assignemnt if you wish to remove the Memory-SS.

Note: The default Memory-SS has connections to the HPS. When enabling the Memory-SS, you must either ensure that the INCLUDE_HPS and INCLUDE_UART macros are also enabled, or you must remove the connections from the Memory-SS to the HPS. Refer to the Remove the HPS section for step-by-step instructions on removing the HPS from the design.
Compile the design. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM section for step-by-step instructions.

4.8 Modify the Ethernet Sub-System¶

This section describes the flows for modifying the Ethernet Sub-System. There are three flows you may use to make modifications.

Modify the Ethernet Sub-System with OFSS supported changes only. These modifications are supported natively by the build script, and are made at run-time of the build script. This flow is useful for users who only need to leverage natively supported HSSI OFSS settings.
Modify the Ethernet Sub-System with OFSS supported changes, then make additional custom modifications not covered by OFSS. These modifications will be captured in a presets file which can be used in future compiles. This flow is useful for users who whish to leverage pre-made HSSI OFSS settings, but make additional modifications not natively supported by HSSI OFSS.
Modify the Ethernet Sub-System without HSSI OFSS. These modification will be made directly in the source files.

4.8.1 Walkthrough: Modify the Ethernet Sub-System Channels With Pre-Made HSSI OFSS¶

This walkthrough describes how to use OFSS to configure the Ethernet-SS. Refer to section HSSI IP OFSS File for detailed information about modifications supported by Ethernet-SS OFSS files. This walkthrough is useful for users who only need to leverage the pre-made, natively supported HSSI OFSS settings.

Pre-Requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Edit the $OFS_ROTDIR/tools/ofss_config/<TARGET_BOARD>.ofss file to use the desired Ethernet-SS OFSS configuration. The pre-provided OFSS configurations are as follows:
- N6001
  - To select the 2x4x25GbE configuration, include the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x25.ofss
```
  - To select the 2x4x10GbE configuration, include the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x10.ofss
```
  - To select the 2x1x100GbE configuration, include the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_2x100.ofss
```
- N6000
  - To select the 4x1x100GbE configuration, include the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_4x100.ofss
```

Compile the FIM using the target board OFSS file.

N6001

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001 work_n6001

N6000

cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6000.ofss n6000 work_n6000

The resulting FIM will contain the Ethernet-SS configuration specified in Step 3. The Ethernet-SS IP in the resulting work directory shows the parameter settings that are used.

4.8.2 Walkthrough: Add Channels to the Ethernet Sub-System Channels With Custom HSSI OFSS¶

This walkthrough describes how to create an use a custom OFSS file to add channels to the Ethernet-SS and compile a design with a 3x4x10GbE Ethernet-SS configuration. This walkthrough is useful for users who wish to leverage the natively supported HSSI OFSS settings.

Note: The n6000 uses 16 channels in the HSSI-SS by default: 8 to the QSFPs, and 8 to the E810 device. Thus, this walkthrough applies only to the n6001.

Pre-Requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Create a new HSSI OFSS file $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_12x10.ofss with the following contents.
```
[ip]
type = hssi

[settings]
output_name = hssi_ss
num_channels = 12
data_rate = 10GbE
```

Edit the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss file to use the new HSSI OFSS file generated in Step 3.

[include]
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/n6001_base.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/iopll/iopll.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_12x10.ofss

Identify the which channels will be added. You may use the E-Tile Channel Placement Tool to aid in your design. In this example we will add the 4 new 10GbE channels to Channels 8-11.

Based on your channel selection, identify which pins will be used. Refer to the Pin-Out Files for Altera FPGAs determine the required pins for your device. In this example we are targeting the AGFB014R24A2E2V device. Set the pin assignments in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/syn/board/n6001/setup/top_loc.tcl file.

set_location_assignment PIN_AV7  -to qsfp_serial[2].rx_p[0]
set_location_assignment PIN_AW10 -to qsfp_serial[2].rx_p[1]
set_location_assignment PIN_BB7  -to qsfp_serial[2].rx_p[2]
set_location_assignment PIN_BC10 -to qsfp_serial[2].rx_p[3]

set_location_assignment PIN_AV1 -to qsfp_serial[2].tx_p[0]
set_location_assignment PIN_AW4 -to qsfp_serial[2].tx_p[1]
set_location_assignment PIN_BB1 -to qsfp_serial[2].tx_p[2]
set_location_assignment PIN_BC4 -to qsfp_serial[2].tx_p[3]

Change the number of QSFP ports from 2 to 3 in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/src/fpga_family/agilex/hssi_ss/inc/ofs_fim_eth_plat_if_pkg.sv file.
```
localparam NUM_QSFP_PORTS_USED  = 3; // Number of QSFP cages on board used by target hssi configuration
```

Edit $OFS_ROOTDIR/ofs-common/src/fpga_family/agilex/hssi_ss/hssi_wrapper.sv so that the QSFP LED signals use NUM_QSFP_PORTS_USED defined in the previous step.

// Speed and activity LEDS
output logic [NUM_QSFP_PORTS_USED-1:0]     o_qsfp_speed_green,       // Link up in Nx25G or 2x56G or 1x100G speed
output logic [NUM_QSFP_PORTS_USED-1:0]     o_qsfp_speed_yellow,      // Link up in Nx10G speed
output logic [NUM_QSFP_PORTS_USED-1:0]     o_qsfp_activity_green,    // Link up and activity seen
output logic [NUM_QSFP_PORTS_USED-1:0]     o_qsfp_activity_red       // LOS, TX Fault etc

Compile the design. It is recommended to compile a flat design first before incorporating a PR region in the design. This reduces design complexity while you determine the correct pinout for your design.
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001:flat work_n6001_12x10
```

4.8.3 Walkthrough: Modify the Ethernet Sub-System With Pre-Made HSSI OFSS Plus Additional Modifications¶

This walkthrough describes how to use OFSS to first modify the Ethernet-SS, then make additional modifications on top. Refer to section HSSI IP OFSS File for detailed information about modifications supported by Ethernet-SS OFSS files. This flow is useful for users who whish to leverage pre-made OFSS settings, but make additional modifications not natively supported by OFSS. This walkthorugh targets the n6001, however, similiar steps can be performed on the n6000.

Pre-Requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Edit the $OFS_ROTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss file to use the desired Ethernet-SS OFSS configuration starting point.
- To select 2x4x25GbE configuration, add the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x25.ofss
```
- To select 2x4x10GbE configuration, add the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_8x10.ofss
```
- To select 2x1x100GbE configuration, add the following line
```
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_2x100.ofss
```
Run the setup stage of the build script with the OFSS file to create a work directory which contains the Ethernet-SS IP configuration specified in Step 3.
```
cd $OFS_ROOTDIR

./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh --stage setup --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001 work_n6001
```
Open the Ethernet-SS IP in Quartus Parameter Editor. The IP settings will match te configuration of the OFSS file defined in Step 3. Make any additional modifications in the Parameter Editor.
```
qsys-edit $OFS_ROOTDIR/work_n6001/ipss/hssi/qip/hssi_ss/hssi_ss.ip
```
Once you are satisfied with your changes, click the New... button in the Presets pane of IP Parameter Editor.
In the New Preset window, create a unique Name. In this example the name is n6001-hssi-presets.
Click the ... button to select where to save the preset file. Give it a name, and save it to $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/hssi/qip/hssi_ss/presets
Click Save in the New Preset window. Click No when prompted to add the file to the IP search path.
Close out of all Quartus GUIs. You do not need to save or compile the IP.
Create a new HSSI OFSS file in the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/hssi directory named hssi_preset_n6001.ofss with the following contents. Note that the num_channels and data_rate settings will be overwritten by the contents of the preset file. The preset setting must match the name you selected in Step 7.
```
[ip]
type = hssi

[settings]
output_name = hssi_ss
num_channels = 8
data_rate = 25GbE
preset = n6001-hssi-presets
```

Edit the $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss file to use the new HSSI OFSS file created in Step 10.

[include]
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/n6001_base.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/iopll/iopll.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss
"$OFS_ROOTDIR"/tools/ofss_config/hssi/hssi_preset_n6001.ofss

Compile the design using the n6001 OFSS file. It is recommended to compile a flat design first before incorporating a PR region in the design. This reduces design complexity while you modify the FIM.
```
./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001:flat work_n6001_hssi_preset
```
The resulting FIM will contain the Ethernet-SS configuration specified by the presets file. The Ethernet-SS IP in the resulting work directory shows the parameter settings that are used.

4.8.4 Walkthrough: Modify the Ethernet Sub-System Without HSSI OFSS¶

This walkthrough describes how to modify the Ethernet-SS wihout using OFSS. This flow will edit the Ethernet-SS IP source directly. This walkthrough is useful for users who wish to make all Ethernet-SS modifications manually, without leveraging HSSI OFSS.

Pre-Requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Open the Ethernet-SS IP in Quartus Parameter Editor. Make your modifications in the Parameter Editor.
```
qsys-edit $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/hssi/qip/hssi_ss/hssi_ss.ip
```
Once you are satisfied with your changes, click the Generate HDL. Save the design if prompted.
Compile the design.
- If you are not using any other OFSS files in your compilation flow, use the following command to compile. It is recommended to compile a flat design before incorporating a PR region in the design. This reduces design complexity while you modify the FIM.
```
./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh n6001:flat work_n6001
```
- If you are using OFSS files for other IP in the design, ensure that the top level OFSS file (e.g. $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss) does not specify an HSSI OFSS file. Then use the following command to compile. It is recommended to compile a flat design first before incorporating a PR region in the design. This reduces design complexity while you modify the FIM.
```
./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh --ofss tools/ofss_config/n6001.ofss n6001:flat work_n6001
```
The resulting FIM will contain the Ethernet-SS configuration contained in the hssi_ss.ip source file.

4.9 Modifying the HPS¶

This section describes ways to modify the HPS.

4.9.1 Walkthrough: Remove the HPS¶

Perform the following steps to remove the HPS from the FIM design.

Note: The n6000 default FIM has the HPS and Memory-SS disabled by default. This walkthrough targets the n6001.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires a development environment. Refer to the Set Up Development Environment Section for instructions on setting up a development environment.

Steps:

Clone the OFS PCIe Attach FIM repository (or use an existing cloned repository). Refer to the Clone FIM Repository section for step-by-step instructions.
Set development environment variables. Refer to the Set Development Environment Variables section for step-by-step instructions.
Create a Memory Sub-system IP presets file with the connection to the HPS removed.
1. Open the the Memory Sub-System IP
```
qsys-edit $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/mem/qip/mem_ss/mem_ss.ip
```
2. In the IP Parameter Editor window that opens, remove the entries corresponding to the HPS (row #4) in the Memory Interfaces and Application Interfaces sections. To do this, click the row to be removed, then click the minus (-) button.
3. In the Presets pane, click New... to create a new IP presets file.
4. In the New Preset window, create a unique preset name. For example, n6001-mem-no-hps.
5. Click the ... button to select the save location of the IP presets file. In the Save As window, set the Look In field to the memory IP presets directory $OFS_ROOTDIR/ipss/mem/qip/presets. Set the File Name field to match the name selected in Step 4. Click OK.
6. Click Save in the New Preset window. Click No when prompted to add the file to the IP search path.
7. Close IP Parameter Editor without saving or generating HDL.
Edit the Memory OFSS file $OFS_ROOTDIR/tools/ofss_config/memory/memory.ofss to use the IP presets file generated in Step 4.
```
[ip]
type = memory

[settings]
output_name = mem_ss
preset = n6001-mem-no-hps

5. FPGA Configuration¶

Configuring the Agilex FPGA on the n6001 can be done by Remote System Update (RSU) using OPAE commands, or by programming a SOF image to the FPGA via JTAG using Quartus Programer.

Programming via RSU will program the flash device on the board for non-volatile image updates. Programming via JTAG will configure the FPGA for volatile image updates.

5.1 Walkthrough: Set up JTAG¶

Perform the following steps to set up a JTAG connection to the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL.

Pre-requisites:

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

This walkthrough requires a workstation with Quartus Prime Pro Version 23.4 tools installed, specifically the jtagconfig tool.

This walkthrough requires an Intel FPGA Download Cable II.

Steps:

Set the board switches to dynamically select either the Agilex® 7 FPGA or MAX® 10 device on the JTAG chain.
1. Set SW1.1=ON as shown in the next image. The switches are located at the back of the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL.
The Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL has a 10 pin JTAG header on the top side of the board. Connect an Intel FPGA Download II Cable to the JTAG header of the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL as shown in picture below. This picture shows the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL card installed in the middle bay, top slot of a SuperMicro® SYS-220HE-FTNR server where the lower slot does not have card installed allowing the Intel® FPGA Download II cables to pass through removed the slot access.

Note: If using the Intel FGPA download Cable on Linux, add the udev rule as described in Intel FPGA Download Cable Driver for Linux.
Set the JTAG chain to select the Agilex® 7 FPGA as the target by writing to the JTAG enable register in the BMC (Register 0x378). This is done via PMCI registers 0x2040C and 0x20400.

Note: The commands below are targeted to a board with PCIe B:D.F of 98:00.0. Use the correct PCIe B:D.F of your card.
```
sudo opae.io init -d 0000:98:00.0 $USER
sudo opae.io -d 0000:98:00.0 -r 0 poke 0x2040c 0x100000000
sudo opae.io -d 0000:98:00.0 -r 0 poke 0x20400 0x37800000002
sudo opae.io release -d 0000:98:00.0
```
Note: To later re-direct the JTAG back to the MAX 10 device, execute the following commands.
```
sudo opae.io init -d 0000:b1:00.0 $USER
sudo opae.io -d 0000:b1:00.0 -r 0 poke 0x2040c 0x000000000
sudo opae.io -d 0000:b1:00.0 -r 0 poke 0x20400 0x37800000002
sudo opae.io release -d 0000:b1:00.0
```
Optionally, rather than dynamically commanding Agilex® 7 FPGA/MAX10 selection with the PMCI register settings, you can fix the selection with the following switch settings shown in the table below:

SW1.1 SW2 JTAG Target

OFF OFF Agilex® 7 FPGA

OFF ON MAX® 10 FPGA

ON X Agilex® 7 FPGA if BMC register 0x378=0x1

ON X MAX® 10 FPGA if BMC register 0x378=0x0
Use the jtagconfig tool to check that the JTAG chain contains the AGFB014R24A2E2V device.
```

5.3 Remote System Update¶

The OPAE fpgasupdate tool can be used to update the Max10 Board Management Controller (BMC) image and firmware (FW), root entry hash, and FPGA Static Region (SR) and user image (PR). The fpgasupdate tool only accepts images that have been formatted using PACsign. If a root entry hash has been programmed onto the board, then you must also sign the image using the correct keys. Refer to the Security User Guide: Open FPGA Stack for information on created signed images and on programming and managing the root entry hash.

The Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL ships with a factory, user1, and user2 programmed image for both the FIM and BMC FW and RTL on all cards. The platform ships with a single FIM image that can be programmed into either user1 or user2, depending in the image selected.

5.3.1 Walkthrough: Program the FPGA via RSU¶

This walkthrough describes the steps to program the Agilex FPGA on the Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL with a BIN image via RSU.

Pre-Requisites:

This walkthrough requires an OFS Agilex PCIe Attach deployment environment. Refer to the Getting Started Guide: OFS for Agilex® 7 PCIe Attach FPGAs (Intel® FPGA SmartNIC N6001-PL/N6000-PL) for instructions on setting up a deployment environment.

This walkthrough requires a BIN image which will be programmed to the Agilex FPGA. Refer to the Compile OFS FIM Section for step-by-step instructions for generating a BIN image. The image used for programming must be formatted with PACsign before programming. This is done automatically by the build script.
