From 43a12379a5d6a6662213acdd0b23dd9fb75a95e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: manvalan Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 08:13:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat: MILESTONE - real activation-fetch engine, full N=2 system verified on real DDR3 (EXP-0079) Closes the last major disclosed functional gap: packed_slot.v's activation data was read through a combinational stand-in since EXP-0062. New act_tile_fetch.v reads activation tiles directly from DDR3 (no on-chip buffering needed, unlike weights -- activation data has no reuse), sharing each slot's existing ctrl port with its own weight-prefetch engine. Real memory layout: one full BURST_LEN=8-word burst per tile, deliberately avoiding any runtime-indexed part-select given this project's thin P&R timing margin (EXP-0078). Verified at three levels: act_tile_fetch.v alone (6/6), packed_slot.v with real preloaded activation data (9/9), and the full N=2 system against real DDR3 via xsim (8/8, 0 errors) -- the first time this project's compute path has been verified end-to-end with real DDR3 for both weights and activations. Retired hardware/v3/rtl/n2_system_top.v and its testbench (pre-DDR3 SDR-placeholder era, fully superseded by n2_system_ddr3_top.v). Also: docs/PHYSICAL_REALIZATION.md (real pinout/parts/timing/protocol reference for the physical board) and CLAUDE.md (persistent project instructions for future Claude Code sessions).

Real timing signoff (EXP-0078, the current, trustworthy number) + +Real in-context Vivado place-and-route (not out-of-context, not estimated): + +| Metric | Value | +|---|---| +| DDR3 PHY clock (sys_clk_i) | **310.078 MHz** (3.225ns period) | +| Compute domain clock (ui_clk, PLL-derived 2:1 from sys_clk_i) | **155.039 MHz** | +| WNS (setup slack) | **+0.013 ns** — real, but very thin.

Real DDR3 memory layout convention + +Both weight data and activation data share the same DDR3 address space +(word-addressed, 16-bit words, `BURST_LEN=8` per transaction = 128 bits/burst). + +- **Weights**: one layer's weight set starts at word address `layer_index * + WORDS_PER_LAYER` (`WORDS_PER_LAYER = LAYER_BYTES/2`). Densely packed — + `layer_prefetch_ctrl.v` reads full bursts sequentially into the on-chip + weight buffer once per job. +- **Activations** (real engine since EXP-0079, `act_tile_fetch.v`): **each + tile (P_IN=8 INT8 values) occupies its own full `BURST_LEN=8`-word + (128-bit) burst slot** — the 8 useful bytes sit in the low 64 bits, the + upper 64 bits are unused padding. This is deliberately 2× wasteful of DDR3 + capacity, in exchange for needing zero runtime-indexed bit-selects in the + fetch logic (a real Fmax risk this project's thin P&R margin, §3, can't + currently afford). Tile `t`'s word address is `base + t*BURST_LEN`, always + burst-aligned by construction. + - `base` (a job's own `x_base_a`/`x_base_b`) is chosen freely by whoever + submits jobs (the SPI host) — just keep each position's own activation + array in its own non-overlapping `N_TILES * BURST_LEN`-word region. + +## 5. FPGA configuration (boot) procedure + +Two complementary paths, both present on this board by design: + +1. **Factory-first / recovery (JTAG, ESP32-driven)**: the flash starts + blank on a fresh board — no other path can bootstrap it (a real chicken- + and-egg constraint: the FPGA can't relay flash-programming commands over + SPI, §5.2, until it's already running logic that does that). The ESP32 + bit-bangs JTAG (§2.5) to load a bitstream directly, or to run Vivado's own + "indirect SPI flash programming" sequence to write the flash for the + first time. One-time (or rare/recovery-only) step. +2. **Normal boot (Master SPI, autonomous)**: every subsequent power-on, the + FPGA self-configures from the flash via its own dedicated hardware (mode + pins set to Master SPI, §2.4) — no ESP32 involvement needed. +3. **Field firmware updates (SPI-through-FPGA, `FLASH_XFER` opcode 0x40)**: + once the FPGA is running, the ESP32 can rewrite the flash by relaying raw + SPI-NOR bytes through the FPGA over the management SPI bus (§2.2) — the + FPGA then re-transmits them as master on the flash bus (§2.3). This is the + **only** electrical path from ESP32 to the flash; there is no direct + connection (by design, per explicit requirement). + - **Real SPI-NOR opcodes** (verified against the actual W25Q32JV + datasheet, for whoever writes the ESP32-side flashing routine): + `0x06` Write Enable, `0x04` Write Disable, `0x05` Read Status Register-1 + (bit0=BUSY, bit1=WEL), `0x02` Page Program, `0x03` Read Data, `0x20` + Sector Erase (4KB), `0x52` 32KB Block Erase, `0xD8` 64KB Block Erase, + `0xC7`/`0x60` Chip Erase. + - **Protocol timing note**: `FLASH_XFER` relays are NOT instantaneous — + each relayed byte's real flash response is only stable starting **two** + host-clocked bytes later (not one), so the host must clock 2 trailing + dummy bytes after its last real command byte to safely receive the + final response. See `spi_host_bridge_v3.v`'s own header for the full + real-measured reasoning (EXP-0077). + - After writing a new bitstream to the flash, reconfigure either by + pulsing `PROGRAM_B` externally, or (future work, not built yet) via a + `ICAPE2`-based warm self-reconfiguration triggered over the same SPI bus. + +## 6.
