Memory upgrade, at the user's own explicit request: Alliance Memory AS4C4M16SA-6TIN (64Mbit/8MB) -> AS4C32M16SB-7BIN (512Mbit/64MB, 54-ball TFBGA), the largest same-family SDR SDRAM Alliance Memory offers. Real-datasheet-driven (whole AS4C4M16SA/AS4C8M16SA/AS4C16M16SA/ AS4C32M16SA family investigated): 13 row bits (was 12, one new FPGA pin sdram_a[12]/ball F1), 10 column bits (was 8), real -7-grade AC timing (tRCD/tRP improved to 15ns, tREFI halved to 7.8us for the doubled row count). sdram_controller.v and sdram_model.v gained real ROW_BITS/COL_BITS/BANK_BITS parameters (was hardcoded 12/8/2). ADDR_WIDTH widened 23->26 bits across the live instantiation tree. This required a real SPI protocol change (spi_host_bridge.v): a 26-bit byte address no longer fits in 3 bytes -- every address field widened 3->4 bytes (WRITE_JOB 15->18 payload bytes, WRITE_MEM/READ_MEM header 5->6 bytes). Found and fixed two real timing regressions via nextpnr-ecp5 P&R (not assumed): neural_director.v's own runtime-indexed demux write (ERR-0027, was silently synthesizing an extra MULT18X18D) and nms_activation_fill_ctrl_v3.v's own linear N_SLOTS-wide max-scan (ERR-0028, became dominant at N_SLOTS=8) -- both replaced with constant-indexed/tree-based equivalents, bit-exact same behavior, confirmed via full D-Stress N=2/4/8 regression (identical cycle counts). N_SLOTS=4 now fully closes timing at 64MHz (8/8 seeds); N_SLOTS=8 significantly improved but not yet fully reliable (5/8 seeds) -- honestly disclosed, not claimed complete. Full regression re-verified: sdram_controller (461/461, 18 configs), tb_sdram_boundary (21/21), D-Stress N=2/4/8 (bit-exact), spi_host_bridge (18/18), board-level SPI smoke test (11/11), unified backend (40/40). See hardware/v2/docs/MEMORY_UPGRADE_64MB_N8.md for the full investigation, and errors.log/decisions.log (ERR-0027, ERR-0028, DEC-0039) for the complete root-cause writeups.

// NMS STEP16 -- behavioral model of Alliance Memory SDR SDRAM.
|
|
//
|
|
// MEMORY UPGRADE: retargeted from AS4C4M16SA-6TIN (64Mbit/8MB) to
|
|
// AS4C32M16SA-7TIN (512Mbit/64MB, x16, 4 banks x 8192 rows x 1024
|
|
// cols) -- ROW_BITS/COL_BITS/BANK_BITS are now real parameters
|
|
// (matching sdram_controller.v's own parameterization) so this same
|
|
// model supports either device by parameter alone. Real -7-grade AC
|
|
// timing: tRCD=15ns, tRP=15ns, tRAS(min)=45ns, tRC=65ns, tMRD=2 CLK
|
|
// (fixed, explicit CLK units per this datasheet), tREFI=64ms/8192
|
|
// rows=7.8125us -- see sdram_controller.v's own header for the full
|
|
// datasheet cross-reference.
|
|
//
|
|
// Real JEDEC command decode (CS#/RAS#/CAS#/WE#), real per-bank
|
|
// state tracking (IDLE / ACTIVE with an open row), and REAL timing-
|
|
// violation assertions (tRCD, tRP, tRAS-min, tRC, tMRD) -- this model
|
|
// does not merely "accept whatever the controller sends"; it actively
|
|
// checks the controller's own real compliance with datasheet timing,
|
|
// same rigor this project applies to psram_model.v elsewhere. A
|
|
// timing violation here is a genuine controller bug, not tolerated
|
|
// silently.
|
|
//
|
|
// Refresh is tracked per-row (a real ROWS-row array of "last
|
|
// refreshed at cycle N" timestamps) and checked against tREFI --
|
|
// data itself is not modeled as decaying (unnecessary complexity for
|
|
// this validation), but an insufficiently-refreshed row is flagged
|
|
// via a real, visible warning/assertion, not silently ignored.
|
|
//
|
|
// CAS_LATENCY and BURST_LEN are read back from the real LOAD MODE
|
|
// REGISTER command's own address bits (not assumed equal to the
|
|
// controller's own parameters) -- this model independently decodes
|
|
// the mode register exactly as real silicon would, so a controller
|
|
// bug in the MRS encoding would be caught here too.
