Was a separate, untracked directory (DataSheet/) outside the repo. Renamed to lowercase and moved in as hardware/v2/docs/datasheet/, with its own .gitignore for LaTeX build byproducts (compiled PDFs stay tracked, .aux/.log/.toc/etc do not). Now versioned and shares this repo's own remote instead of living untracked on disk. Content: IT+EN LaTeX chapter sources, reference manufacturer PDFs, and compiled datasheet PDFs including the 2026-09-07 SDRAM upgrade addendum (AS4C32M16SB-7BIN part/pinout/timing) in the v2-en chapters. Note: hardware/v2/docs/DatasheetLatex/ (and the v1 sibling) is a separate, already-tracked, differently-structured LaTeX document that predates this move -- left untouched, not merged, since its chapter set and content differ and merging was not requested.

\begin{fnnote}[Pinout status --- assigned and verified]
|
|
A real \code{.lpf} now exists (\code{synth/ecp5/spi\_neuron\_top.lpf}) with the top-level's
|
|
\textbf{57 signals} assigned to concrete CABGA381 balls, \textbf{verified by a full
|
|
0-error \code{nextpnr-ecp5} place\&route} (no longer \code{-{}-lpf-allow-unconstrained}). The
|
|
balls come from Project~Trellis's device database (\code{iodb.json}, the same nextpnr uses)
|
|
and were independently validated against §4.3.2 of the official Lattice datasheet (per-bank
|
|
GPIO counts: exact match on 6 of 7 banks, off by 1 ball on bank~3, immaterial since no
|
|
assigned signal uses it). \code{TRELLIS\_IO}: 57/245 (23\%). Current-build Fmax (full system
|
|
incl. flash subsystem with an independent SPI bus, Phase F7, 2026-09-04) \textbf{67.91~MHz},
|
|
critical path confirmed still on \code{neuron\_parallel}'s accumulator chain, unchanged from
|
|
earlier builds (ch.~\ref{ch:impl}). Pin-by-pin summary at the front of the document
|
|
(pp.~2--3). The boot config-SPI and JTAG balls do not appear here: they are dedicated
|
|
fixed-function pins with no corresponding RTL port, nextpnr never requires them (0 errors),
|
|
they matter only for the PCB schematic.

($>$170 free pins), so the board is not pin-constrained.

\begin{fnnote}[Board signals not exposed as RTL ports]
|
|
Not ports of \code{spi\_neuron\_top} but required at board level: the \textbf{configuration
|
|
SPI} lines to the onboard NOR flash (\code{PROGRAMN}/\code{INITN}/\code{DONE}/\code{CCLK}\ldots,
|
|
the datasheet's ``Miscellaneous Dedicated Pins'') and the 4 \textbf{JTAG} lines
|
|
(\code{TCK}/\code{TMS}/\code{TDI}/\code{TDO}), the \textbf{oscillator} on the \code{PCLK}
|
|
pad, the \textbf{power supplies}. Their ball numbers are not in the Lattice datasheet
|
|
(separate file) but are not needed here: dedicated pins with no RTL port, nextpnr never
|
|
requires them (0 errors), they matter only for the PCB schematic.
|
|
\end{fnnote}
|
|
|
|
\begin{fnwarn}[Application SPI separate from configuration SPI]
|
|
The application SPI (\code{sclk/mosi/miso/cs\_n}) must land on ordinary I/Os,
|
|
\textbf{never} on the configuration-SPI pins: the config-SPI clock pin is not reusable as
|
|
a general-purpose input after configuration without a board-level workaround. Keeping them
|
|
physically separate avoids that problem.
|
|
\end{fnwarn}
|
|
|
|
\section{Per-bank allocation (real die geometry)}
|
|
The placement follows the die-edge geometry (from Trellis's \code{globals.json},
|
|
ball~$\to$~(col,row)~$\to$~bank): banks \textbf{2 and 3} sit contiguously along the chip's
|
|
\textbf{right} edge and together hold the entire PSRAM bus (44+1 signals) --- exactly the
|
|
``one or two adjacent banks'' recommended. Bank \textbf{7} (\textbf{left} edge, physically
|
|
opposite the PSRAM bus) holds the application SPI and clock/reset, deliberately on the far
|
|
side so the two buses do not cross. \code{clk} is on the dedicated pad \code{H5}
|
|
(\code{GR\_PCLK7\_0}). Where a bank ran out of plain balls (part of \code{psram\_dq}), the
|
|
next dual-function ball was used as ordinary GPIO, confirmed usable by the real place\&route.

\section{PSRAM subsystem}
|
|
The \code{psram\_controller.v} controller implements an \textbf{asynchronous parallel}
|
|
interface (address bus, 16-bit data, \code{ce\_n/oe\_n/we\_n} and byte-lanes
|
|
\code{lb\_n/ub\_n}, plus \code{zz\_n}) with an access latency of \textbf{70~ns} wired as
|
|
$\lceil 70\,\text{ns}\times f_{clk}\rceil$. It is an asynchronous-SRAM-style bus, not QSPI.
|
|
|
|

|
|
\rowa Fallback & ISSI \code{IS61WV6416DBLL} / \code{IS61WV102416BLL} (true async SRAM, drop-in on the same signals, \code{zz\_n} inactive, $\sim$10~ns, lower density). \\

\subsection{PSRAM connection (FPGA-exclusive)}
|
|
The PSRAM is driven \textbf{exclusively by the FPGA} through \code{psram\_controller.v}: no
|
|
external master touches the bus. The external host (RPi/ESP32/MCU) only speaks SPI to the
|
|
FPGA and never touches these lines. Pin-by-pin connection FPGA~$\leftrightarrow$~ISSI

wired (ch.~\ref{ch:hw}, real balls). Decoupling per supply pin per the ISSI datasheet.
|
|
|
|
\section{Clock}
|
|
\label{sec:clock}
|
|
There is no PLL in the RTL yet: \code{CLK\_FREQ\_MHZ} is a \emph{timing parameter} (it
|
|
feeds the PSRAM access formulas), not a clock generator. The mounted oscillator drives
|
|
\code{clk} directly. Recommendation: a 16~MHz MEMS oscillator (SiTime SiT2001B family),
|
|
well below the 67.91~MHz Fmax of the full integrated system (incl. flash subsystem,
|
|
ch.~\ref{ch:impl}). \code{CLK\_FREQ\_MHZ} must
|
|
be set to the real value of the mounted oscillator, otherwise the PSRAM timing comes out
|
|
wrong.
|
|
|
|
\section{Power}

|
A \textbf{three-rail} tree (the Lattice eval board's SERDES section is not needed and is
|

|
|
|
|
\section{Configuration and programming}
|
|
\label{sec:config}
|
|
Writing the FPGA ``map'' (bitstream) happens through dedicated silicon pins, \textbf{not}
|
|
RTL top-level ports. Default mode: \textbf{MSPI} --- automatic boot from the NOR flash at
|
|
power-on (standalone product); JTAG available for development.

\subsection{Config-SPI to boot flash}
|
|
The FPGA loads the bitstream from the \textbf{Winbond \code{W25Q128JV}} (128~Mbit SPI NOR,
|
|
Quad read) at power-on. The flash subsystem (\code{rtl/flash\_slot\_manager.v}, Phases
|
|
F1-F7, ch.~\ref{ch:impl}) uses the \textbf{same physical flash} for network weights/bias/
|
|
metadata at runtime, FPGA-exclusive access: after configuration, the FPGA regains control
|
|
of the chip through a fully independent 4-wire SPI bus, \code{flash\_sclk/flash\_mosi/
|
|
flash\_miso/flash\_cs\_n} (all ordinary GPIO, pp.~2--3 and §``Signal map'' --- no ECP5
|
|
config primitive involved, Phase F7) --- this still implies a board-level dual connection
|
|
(the flash's DI/DO/CS/CLK pins wired both to the dedicated boot pins below and to these 4
|
|
ordinary balls, since it is the same physical chip serving both roles), not yet captured in
|
|
a schematic (none exists yet, see the checklist below).

\begin{fnwarn}[Configuration balls to verify on the 45F]
|
|
\textsuperscript{$\dagger$}The JTAG and config-SPI balls listed here are the \emph{reference}
|
|
from the Lattice eval board (85F device). JTAG and config-SPI are dedicated, largely fixed
|
|
pins in the ECP5 family, but the exact positions on the \code{LFE5U-45F-8BG381C} target must
|
|
be confirmed against the Lattice 45F pinout file (Diamond/Radiant or the Trellis database)
|
|
before committing them to the schematic, as already done for the application signals
|
|
(ch.~\ref{ch:hw}).
|
|
\textbf{Distinct from this open item} (do not conflate the two): the flash subsystem's own
|
|
runtime SPI pins (\code{flash\_sclk}, \code{flash\_mosi}, \code{flash\_miso},
|
|
\code{flash\_cs\_n} --- Phases F1-F6, made fully independent in Phase F7) \textbf{are} real,
|
|
pinned, place\&route-verified ordinary GPIO on bank 7 --- \textbf{no pin shared with any
|
|
ECP5 config primitive}: an earlier version reused the boot \code{CCLK} pad for SCLK via
|
|
\code{USRMCLK}, dropped in Phase F7 (\code{USRMCLK} utilisation in the current full-system
|
|
synthesis is 0/1, confirming it is no longer used at all).

\section{Open tasks before schematic capture}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item[\OK] \code{ADDR\_WIDTH}=23 (full 8~MB) across all modules and testbenches.
|
|
\item[\OK] Real \code{.lpf} with the CABGA381 ball assignment, place\&route-verified with
|
|
0 errors (\code{synth/ecp5/spi\_neuron\_top.lpf}, 57 signals incl. flash subsystem).
|
|
\item[\OK] Boot/persistence flash subsystem (Phases F1-F7): SPI master, copy engine,
|
|
CRC32 slot catalog, fully independent 4-wire SPI bus, real synthesis at 0 errors, Fmax
|
|
67.91~MHz (\code{WORKLOG.md}).
|
|
\item[$\square$] Confirm PSRAM/SPI signal integrity at the actually mounted clock.
|
|
\item[$\square$] Board-level dual-wiring diagram for the flash's DI/DO/CS/CLK pins (dedicated
|
|
boot pins + the flash subsystem's 4 ordinary balls) --- not yet captured in a schematic.
|
|
\item[$\square$] Choice of the JTAG connector footprint.
|
|
\item[$\square$] Schematic capture (KiCad or other): no schematic exists yet for this
|
|
device/package combination.
|
