From c4763aab105b3dabeb127390b5e5544a1d10228b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michele Bigi Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2026 19:42:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] test: directed SDRAM boundary verification + SPI frequency sweep PRE-PCB CLOSURE Point 1: adds tb_sdram_boundary.v, a directed (not randomized) regression covering address 0/1/last/last-1, an explicit row-boundary crossing, all 3 inter-bank boundary crossings, the real V2 memory-map region boundaries (weights/activations/results), and every DQM byte-mask combination with explicit read-after-write. 21/21 PASS at both 64MHz and 166MHz, zero bugs found. PRE-PCB CLOSURE Point 2: adds tb_spi_freq_sweep.v, a reproducible SPI bit-rate sweep against the real fpga_neural_v2_top (osc_clk driven at the real 64MHz clk_sys rate via the SIM PLL bypass). Found and fixed a race in the new test harness itself (a fixed-time wait before reading a WRITE_MEM/READ_MEM response, too short whenever a periodic AUTO REFRESH delayed the backend) -- not a spi_host_bridge.v defect, confirmed against tb_spi_host_bridge.v's own isolated regression. Determined the real, deterministic CDC margin: the synchronizer requires >=5 system-clock cycles per SPI bit (exactly 64MHz/5 = 12.8MHz); recommends SPI_MAX_VERIFIED=12MHz with real margin below that hard edge.

Before +concluding anything about the RTL, this was root-caused: the real +host-arb/SDRAM-controller backend latency (unlike +`tb_spi_host_bridge.v`'s own isolated unit test, which drives +`mem_rdata`/`mem_ready` from a simple behavioral mock with fixed +timing) genuinely varies cycle-to-cycle — a periodic AUTO REFRESH can +land during the request and push `mem_ready` later than the guessed +`#2000` margin. `tb_spi_host_bridge.v`'s own regression already proves +`spi_host_bridge.v`'s FIRST `READ_MEM` after reset delivers all 16 +bits correctly when its own mock backend responds within that test's +own assumed timing — confirming the FSM logic itself is correct, and +the failure was this new harness's own race. **Fixed** by polling +`dut.u_spi_bridge.state` directly (`ST_MEM_ROUT`/`ST_IGNORE`) instead +of guessing a fixed real-time margin — eliminates the race entirely. +Re-ran the full sweep from 2MHz upward with this fix: no further +data-corruption failures at any frequency below the real CDC limit +(see below). + +### Sweep results + +| SPI_FREQ_MHZ | sysclk cycles/bit (64MHz) | Result | +|---|---|---| +| 2 | 32.0 | 10/10 PASS | +| 4 | 16.0 | 10/10 PASS | +| 8 | 8.0 | 10/10 PASS | +| 10 | 6.4 | 10/10 PASS | +| 12 | 5.33 | 10/10 PASS | +| 12.5 | 5.12 | 10/10 PASS | +| 12.8 | 5.0 (exact) | 10/10 PASS | +| 12.9 | 4.96 | FAIL (data corruption) + protocol FSM HANG (watchdog) | +| 13 | 4.92 | FAIL + HANG | +| 14 | 4.57 | FAIL + HANG | +| 15 | 4.27 | FAIL + HANG | +| 16 | 4.0 | FAIL + HANG | +| 20, 24, 32 | <4.0 | FAIL + HANG | + +The breakpoint is **exact and deterministic**: 12.8MHz is precisely +64MHz/5 — the triple-flop CDC synchronizer plus edge-detect/FSM +reaction in `spi_host_bridge.v` requires at least 5 full system-clock +cycles per SPI bit period to reliably track `sclk`/`mosi`/`cs_n` +transitions. Below that, the synchronizer misses edges outright, +which doesn't just corrupt data (as briefly seen in the harness-race +case above) but eventually desyncs the byte-framing state machine +badly enough that it never reaches an expected state again — a real +protocol lockup, not merely wrong data. This is a genuine, real +property of the CDC design (not a bug — the double/triple-flop +synchronizer is standard, correct practice; it simply has a minimum +bit-period requirement, which every synchronous CDC scheme does), now +precisely measured rather than assumed. + +### Distinguishing the three kinds of limit the mandate asks for + +- **RTL/simulation limit (measured, this session)**: 12.8MHz exact + edge; 12MHz recommended verified operating point (real margin below + the hard edge: 5.33 vs the minimum 5.0 cycles/bit, ~6.7% headroom). +- **FPGA timing limit**: not applicable in the way P&R timing closure + applies to the internal 64MHz domain — the SPI pins are simple + registered/synchronized GPIO inputs (`IO_TYPE=LVCMOS33`, no special + timing constraint beyond the CDC margin above), and nextpnr-ecp5's + own timing analysis (section 5/6 of `PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md`) does + not model an external asynchronous SPI master's edge timing at all. + No FPGA-side P&R-derived limit beyond the CDC margin already found. +- **Board-level electrical limit**: **OPEN — not measured, cannot be + measured without real hardware.** Real trace length, connector/cable + capacitance, SPI master driver rise/fall time, ground bounce, and + actual metastability risk (this RTL simulation is deterministic and + cannot model metastability at all) are all real-world factors this + simulation does not and cannot capture.
