data_sink_qdac HDL Device Worker

HDL device worker that provides functionality common to all DAC device types.

Detail

The data sink Quadratic Digital-to-Analog-Converter (QDAC) HDL device worker implements the data sink Quadratic Digital-to-Analog-Converter (QDAC) component specification, which provides the properties and ports that are necessary for this HDL device worker to implement the functionality that is common to all Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) device types. This functionality includes:

• Interpreting input messages indicating end of data and finishing on end-of-file (EOF)

• Normalizing input data to the bit width of the device

• Providing an underrun indicator when the rate of input data is less than the DAC data rate

The data sink QDAC HDL device worker implementation is intended to be paired with an HDL subdevice worker that translates the dev interface to a device-specific interface.

A block diagram representation of the HDL device worker implementation is given in Figure 1:

Note

In the figure above, “WSI” refers to the Worker Streaming Interface, which is described in the OpenCPI HDL Development Guide.

Be sure to check the samp_count_before_first_underrun and num_underruns component properties at the end of an application run because they are not stable until then. The worker does not use clock domain crossing (cdc) HDL primitive library circuits for these properties because it takes advantage of the fact that they will have a stable value by the time the OpenCPI control plane reads them at the end of an application run.

For component properties implemented by this HDL device worker, see $OCPI_ROOT_DIR/projects/platform/hdl/devices/specs/data_sink_qadc-spec.xml.
