BBN QDSP Firmware

Firmware to run a superconducting qubit measurement transceiver on the Innovative Integration X6-1000M card.

Dependencies

• verilog-axis - for AXI stream components
• VHDL-Components - for complex multiplier; polyphase SSB and cross-clock synchronizer

ISE Project Setup

Modify the scripts/create_project.tcl to set the project name and directory and FPGA part parameters. Then from the tcl console in ISE run:

cd /path/to/scripts/folder
source create_project.tcl
create_project
regenerate_ip

Building the bitfile might fail the first time on Map with an error about IODELAY placement. ISE is messing up reading the constraints and Rerun All all seems to fix the issue.

Version Tag Registers

ISE does not support pre synthesis hooks so you must manually source scripts/update_version_generics.tcl to update the generics that will get written to the version registers.

Software Driver

The firmware works with a C-API driver libx6.
