  6. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGABasic Subsystems (2) • Spacecraft Interface • Glitch filter applied to all inputs (pulses 200 nanoseconds or less rejected) • 1PPS/SPINPULSE detection via pulse width • Command Reception (115Kbaud UART) • Packetized data transferred to SRAM via DMA • Up to 4Kbytes/second allocation • Parity as per APL ICD (parity and framing errors flagged) • Telemetry Transmission (115Kbaud UART) • CPU generates CCSDS packets • Telemetry subsystem generates Instrument Transfer Frame (ITF) Wrapper • ITFs are transferred from SRAM or SDRAM via DMA • Parity as per APL ICD • Timekeeping • Internal 24 bit counter provides instrument timebase • Timestamps Spin Pulse and 1PPS • Generates CPU Interrupts and Watchdog Timer Reset • Provides Instrument DMA Buffer Swap “ticks” EFW INST+SOC PDR 258

  7. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGABasic Subsystems (3) • BEB, PCB Interfaces • Synchronous serial data interfaces operate at 1MHz • CPU writes commands via I/O Interface; Logic handles serial protocol • Management of DACs & Controls (relays, analog mux addresses, etc.) • AC Test Stimulus Generation for BEB • DFB Interface - Mode Setup and Data Ingest • Data transfer at 8.4MHz – 24 bit data/parity checked • Command Interface – CPU writes as I/O; Logic handles serial protocol • Instrument data received/transferred via DMA • Bulk Volatile Storage (Dynamic RAM) Management • R/W and DMA access for a 256Mbyte SDRAM array • Upper quadrant is devoted to ECC • Bulk Non-volatile Storage (FLASH) Management • DMA access for a 32Gbyte FLASH array • CPU or DMA accessible • DMA mode incorporates ECC implemented over 512byte blocks EFW INST+SOC PDR 259

  9. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGA Memories - SRAM • MBUS Bus Dynamics • CPU allocated bus as highest priority device • Clients obtain bus between processor r/w cycles, wait states added as necessary • SRAM DMA Loading: • S/C Commands: 0.35% peak loading at 115200 bps • Average loading (depends on command volume): ~0.1% at 4Kbytes/sec • S/C Telemetry: normally this transfer is from SDRAM • SRAM option included as a failure mode • Peak loading is 0.35%, average (based on 12kbps) is less (< 0.1%) • DFB DMA: normally this transfer is to SDRAM • SRAM option included for housekeeping APID option, or as a failure mode • Housekeeping packet into SRAM -> <0.1% loading • Peak loading at maximum DFB transfer rate is 32% • FLASH DMA: normally this transfer is to/from SDRAM • SRAM option included as failure mode • Transfer rate throttling option to limit loading to < 5% EFW INST+SOC PDR 261

  10. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGA Memories – SDRAM • SDRAM Memory • Heritage design (Themis Data controller board) • During the ~1.5 years of operation, we have seen transient bit flips (ECC very effective in this respect) and one stuck bit (corrected with a power cycle); but otherwise no major problems • Consists of a stacked memory module (3D-Plus MMSD08256804S-C-1S) • 256M x 8 configuration • Uses four ELPIDA 64Mbyte die • Array is isolated -- switchable power • Defaults to off at power on • Mode set every second • Minimizes impact of Single Event Functional Interrupts (SEFI) • Error correction option • Correction applied to 32 bit words, scrubbing occurs continuously when enabled • DMA clients include: DFB, S/C Telemetry, FLASH • CPU can read/write (with wait states) as a random access device • Used for insertion of CCSDS packet headers EFW INST+SOC PDR 262

  11. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGA Memories – FLASH • FLASH Memory • Consists of eight stacked memory modules (3D-Plus MMFN08408808S-F-1S) • Each module is 2G x 8, using eight MICRON 256M x 8 FLASH components • Each 3D-Plus FLASH Module is independently isolated -- switchable power • Defaults to off at power on; turns off with watchdog reset • Devices are kept off during periods of inactivity • Optimize TID lifetime and minimize power drain • Reset command issued once/second • Minimizes impact of Single Event Functional Interrupts (SEFI) • Error correction option – Hamming code • Correction applied to 512 byte segments for DMA writes • Error detection/correction during readout • No continuous scrubbing (unlike the SDRAM) • DMA mode: transfers data to/from SDRAM and/or SRAM • CPU sets up DMA; handles buffer allocation and bad block management • Processor mode: CPU can read/write as a device in memory mapped mode • Allows for diagnostic backdoor EFW INST+SOC PDR 263

  12. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGA Design/Verification Process (1) • FPGA Status/Utilization • Estimated module utilization: 50% • Potential use of spare modules for diagnostic amenities • Estimated I/O utilization: 70% • Spare pins can be allocated to diagnostic functions • Timing margin: target FPGA can handle the 16.78MHz System Clock • Themis FPGA, an older generation, no problems at 20MHz • FPGA Design/Verification Process • Process described in FPGA Development/Verification Plan • RBSP_EFW_PA_006A_FPGA_Verification_Plan.doc • Prototype boards use FLASH part (Actel A3P1000) - reprogrammable • Migration to fuse based flight part (Actel RTAX2000SL) • Coded in VHDL, testbenches/simulation at module as well as top-level • Top level simulations use the processor, running Z80 coded diagnostic programs • Static timing analysis EFW INST+SOC PDR 264

EFW – Data Controller Board FPGA Design/Verification Process (2) • IP Core • Purchased from CAST, Inc. • Delivering IP cores since 1996 • Offering over 550 core licenses to approximately 400 customers (including commercial, military as well as NASA based projects) • Core is delivered as routed netlist for the target FPGA • VHDL Model used for functional simulation • Routed version reverified during top-level simulation • Testing/Debug Environment (using the DCB Protoboard) • ROM Monitor successfully ported from Themis DCB • Ability to download and run diagnostic programs • The following FPGA modules have been tested/verified • CPU CORE and CPUBUS control • MBUS control • UARTS (both S/C and diagnostic ports) • SDRAM Controller • Timekeeper (1PPS and Spin Clock reception logic verified with S/C Emulator) EFW INST+SOC PDR 265

  14. EFW – Data Controller Board FPGA Schedule/Issues • Status • Detailed design about 50% complete • CPU Core has been exercised extensively • Detailed design completion (supporting DCB Protoboard) expected by the end of 2008 • Ongoing activities during DCB Protoboard and ETU Test/Verification • Migration to engineering/flight DCB using FLASH FPGA • Support flight software development • Instrument Integration (verify DFB, BEB and PCB Interfaces) • Spacecraft Integration (verify Command and Telemetry Interfaces) • Retarget VHDL for flight part; simulate, test and verify • Issues • ICD (Spacecraft Interface) – designing to the “working copy” • No problems with current interface definitions EFW INST+SOC PDR 266
