CED1Z FPGA Project for ADAS3022 with Nios driver

Overview

This document presents the steps to setup an environment for using the EVAL-ADAS3022EDZ evaluation board together with the EVAL-CED Converter Evaluation and Development (CED) Board, the Nios II Embedded Development Suite (EDS). Below is presented a picture of the EVAL-ADAS3022EDZ Evaluation Board with the CED1 board.

The CED1Z board is intended for use in evaluation, demonstration and development of systems using Analog Devices precision converters. It provides the necessary communications between the converter and the PC, programming or controlling the device, transmitting or receiving data over a USB link.

The ADAS3022 is a complete 16-bit, 1 MSPS, successive approximation–based analog-to-digital data acquisition system that is manufactured on Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary iCMOS? high voltage industrial process technology. The device integrates an 8-channel, low leakage multiplexer; a high-impedance programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA) stage with a high common-mode rejection; a precision, low drift 4.096 V reference and buffer; and a 16-bit charge-redistribution analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. The ADAS3022 can resolve eight single-ended inputs or four fully differential inputs up to ±24.576 V when using ±15 V supplies. In addition, the device can accept the commonly used bipolar differential, bipolar single-ended, pseudo bipolar, or pseudo unipolar input signals, as shown in Table 1, thus enabling the use of almost any direct sensor interface. The ADAS3022 simplifies design challenges by eliminating signal buffering, level shifting, amplification/attenuation, common-mode rejection, settling time, or any of the other analog signal conditioning challenges while allowing smaller form factor, faster time to market, and lower costs.

The EVAL-ADAS3022EDZ is an evaluation board for the ADAS3022 16-bit data acquisition system (DAS) with an aggregate throughput of 1 million samples per second (1MSPS).

ADAS3022 Evaluation Project Overview

The evaluation project contains all the source files needed to build a system that can be used to configure the ADAS3022 and capture data from it. The system consists of a Nios II softcore processor that is implemented in the FPGA found on the CED1Z board and a PC application. The softcore controls the communication with the Device Under Test (DUT) and the data capture process. The captured data is saved into the SRAM of the CED1Z board and aftwerwards it is read by the PC application and saved into a comma separated values (.csv) file that can be used for further data analysis.

Quick Evaluation

After reprogramming the FPGA on the evaluation board for using the reference design you won't be able to revert to the standard evaluation programming file and you can only use the evaluation board for prototyping.

Before proceeding with this step, you should be satisfied with the evaluation results from the standard evaluation software.

The next sections of this document present all the steps needed to create a fully functional project that can be used for evaluating the operation of the ADI platform. It is possible to skip these steps and load in the FPGA an image that contains a fully functional system that can be used for platform evalution. The first step of the quick evaluation process is to program the FPGA with the image provided in the lab files. Before the image can be loaded the Quartus II Web Edition tool or the Quartus II Programmer must be installed on your computer. To load the FPGA image you must first make sure that the USB cable is not connected to the CED1Z board. Connect the USB Blaster to the J6 connector of the CED1Z and power the board. Run the program_fpga.bat batch file located in the ADIEvalBoard/FPGA folder .

The Evaluation Board design presented on this page is different than the default design loaded on the ADAS3022EDZ. In order to use the design from this page, the Evaluation Board FPGA must be reprogrammed. To reprogram the FPGA on the Evaluation board, the following steps must be followed, AFTER the CED1Z FPGA has been programmed using program_fpga.bat:

1. Connect the USB-Blaster to the P2 port
2. Start Quartus II, Start Tools →Programmer
3. Select Mode Active Serial Programming
4. Press Add File and select EvalBoardFPGA/EvalBoardAdas3022.pof
5. Check Program/Configure and Press Start.
6. After the programming ends, power off the CED1Z and reprogramm it using program_fpga.bat as described above.

This is a one time operation, as the programming is done on a non volatile memory on the Evaluation Board.

In order to acquire data, follow the instructions in the Evaluation Project Data Acquisition section.

NIOS II Software Design

This section presents the steps for developing a software application that will run on the CED1Z system and will be used for controlling and monitoring the operation of the ADI evaluation board.

Create a new project using the NIOS II Software Build Tools for Eclipse

Launch the Nios II SBT from the Start → All Programs → Altera → Nios II EDS 11.0 → Nios II 11.0 Software Build Tools for Eclipse (SBT).

NOTE: Windows 7 users will need to right-click and select Run as administrator. Another method is to right-click and select Properties and click on the Compatibility tab and select the Run This Program As An Administrator checkbox, which will make this a permanent change.

1. Initialize Eclipse workspace

When Eclipse first launches, a dialog box appears asking what directory it should use for its workspace. It is useful to have a separate Eclipse workspace associated with each hardware project that is created in SOPC Builder. Browse to the ADIEvalBoard directory and click Make New Folder to create a folder for the software project. Name the new folder “eclipse_workspace”. After selecting the workspace directory, click OK and Eclipse will launch and the workbench will appear in the Nios II perspective.

2. Create a new software project in the SBT

Select File → New → Nios II Application and BSP from Template.

Click the Browse button in the SOPC Information File Name dialog box.
Select the uC.sopcinfo file located in the ADIEvalBoard/FPGA directory.
Set the name of the Application project to “ADIEvalBoard”.
Select the Blank Project template under Project template.
Click the Finish button.

The tool will create two new software project directories. Each Nios II application has 2 project directories in the Eclipse workspace.

The application software project itself - this where the application lives.
The second is the Board Support Package (BSP) project associated with the main application software project. This project will build the system library drivers for the specific SOPC system. This project inherits the name from the main software project and appends “_bsp” to that.

Since you chose the blank project template, there are no source files in the application project directory at this time. The BSP contains a directory of software drivers as well as a system.h header file, system initialization source code and other software infrastructure.

Configure the Board Support Package

Configure the board support package to specify the properties of this software system by using the BSP Editor tool. These properties include what interface should be used for stdio and stderr messages, the memory in which stack and heap should be allocated and whether an operating system or network stack should be included with this BSP.
Right click on the ADIEvalBoard_bsp project and select Nios II → BSP Editor… from the right-click menu.

The software project provided in this lab does not make use of an operating system. All stdout, stdin and stderr messages will be directed to the jtag_uart.

Select the Common settings view. In the Common settings view, change the following settings:
- Select the jtag_uart_0 for stdin, stdout and stderr messages. Note that you have more than one choice.
- Select none for the sys_clk_timer and timestamp_timer.

The memory used by the design is should be changed from OnChip ram to SRAM for the .text region.

Select Linker Script tab.
Change .text region Linker Region Name from onchip_mem to sram.

Select File → Save to save the board support package configuration to the settings.bsp file.
Click the Generate button to update the BSP.
When the generate has completed, select File → Exit to close the BSP Editor.

Configure BSP Project Build Properties

In addition to the board support package settings configured using the BSP Editor, there are other compilation settings managed by the Eclipse environment such as compiler flags and optimization level.

Right click on the ADIEvalBoard_bsp software project and select Properties from the right-click menu.
On the left-hand menu, select Nios II BSP Properties.
During compilation, the code may have various levels of optimization which is a tradeoff between code size and performance. Change the Optimization level setting to Level 2
Since our software does not make use of C++, uncheck Support C++.
Check the Reduced device drivers option
Check the Small C library option
Press Apply and OK to regenerate the BSP and close the Properties window.

Add source code to the project

In Windows Explorer locate the project directory which contains a directory called Software. In Windows Explorer select all the files and directories from the Software folder and drag and drop them into the Eclipse software project ADIEvalBoard.

Select all the files and folders and drag them over the ADIEvalBoard project in the SBT window and drop the files onto the project folder.

A dialog box will appear to select the desired operation. Select the option Copy files and folders and press OK.

This should cause the source files to be physically copied into the file system location of the software project directory and register these source files within the Eclipse workspace so that they appear in the Project Explorer file listing.

Configure Application Project Build Properties

Just as you configured the optimization level for the BSP project, you should set the optimization level for the application software project ADIEvalBoard as well.

Right click on the ADIEvalBoard software project and select Properties from the right-click menu.
On the left-hand menu, select the Nios II Application Properties tab
Change the Optimization level setting to Level 2.
Press Apply and OK to save the changes.

Define Application Include Directories

Application code can be conveniently organized in a directory structure. This section shows how to define these paths in the makefile.

In the Eclipse environment double click on my_include_paths.in to open the file.
Click the Ctrl and A keys to select all the text. Click the Ctrl and C keys to copy all the text.

Double click on Makefile to open the file.
If you see the message shown here about resources being out of sync, right click on the Makefile and select Refresh.

Select the line APP_INCLUDE_DIRS :=

Click the Ctrl and V keys to replace the selected line with the include paths.

Click the Ctrl and S keys to save the Makefile.

Compile, Download and Run the Software Project

1. Build the Application and BSP Projects

Right click the ADIEvalBoard_bsp software project and choose Build Project to build the board support package.
When that build completes, right click the ADIEvalBoard application software project and choose Build Project to build the Nios II application.

These 2 steps will compile and build the associated board support package, then the actual application software project itself. The result of the compilation process will be an Executable and Linked Format (.elf) file for the application, the ADIEvalBoard.elf file.

In case an error appears at compile time with a description like : section .rodata loaded at [00400164,00400477] overlaps section .text loaded at [00400164,004054d7] the enable_alt_load_copy_exceptions option must be unchecked from BSP Editor → Main → Settings → Advanced→ hal.linker

2. Verify the Board Connection

The CED1Z hardware is designed with a System ID peripheral. This peripheral is assigned a unique value based on when the hardware design was last modified in the SOPC Builder tool. SOPC Builder also places this information in the .sopcinfo hardware description file. The BSP is built based on the information in the .sopcinfo file.

Select the ADIEvalBoard application software project.
Select Run → Run Configurations…
Select the Nios II Hardware configuration type.
Press the New button to create a new configuration.
Change the configuration name to CED1Z and click Apply.
On the Target Connection tab, press the Refresh Connections button. You may need to expand the window or scroll to the right to see this button.
Select the jtag_uart_0 as the Byte Stream Device for stdio.
Check the Ignore mismatched system ID option.
Check the Ignore mismatched system timestamp option.

3. Run the Software Project on the Target

To run the software project on the Nios II processor:

Before running the the software project, the FPGA located on the CED1Z must be programmed with the Nios II system image. To program the FPGA run the ADIEvalBoard/FPGA/program_fpga.bat script.
Press the Run button in the Run Configurations window. This will re-build the software project to create an up–to-date executable and then download the code into memory on the CED1Z hardware. The debugger resets the Nios II processor, and it executes the downloaded code. Note that the code is verified in memory before it is executed

The code size and start address might be different than the ones displayed in the above screenshot.

Evaluation Project Data Acquisition

After the FPGA is correctly programmed the data acquisition process can start by executing the data_acquisition.bat script. The data acquisition is done at 1MSPS if the ADAS3022 is in warp mode or at 0.909MSPS if in normal mode.

The ADAS3022 can be configured by editing the data_capture.tcl script, and configuring each bit of the CONFIGURATION register.

If the resulting csv file is opened with Microsoft Excel, the data will be displayed on a single column if the sequencer is disabled or on 8 columns if the basic sequencer is enabled. Each column represents a channel. If the ADAS3022 is configured to acquire less than 8 channels the remaining channels will have a constant value. For example, in the below picture, the ADAS3022 was configure to acquire data on 4 differential channels, a sine signal was applied on the first channel and the rest were left floating. In this case, the first column can be plotted as a sine wave, the next 3 have some noise on them, and the last 4 have a constant value of 0.
