More test bench stuff with usrp_std

Hi all,

I’m trying to modify the test bench provided with the standard USRP
verilog code
to work with the latest version of the usrp_std module. I’m using the
2rx 0tx
config.

My problem is that I don’t think I’m initializing the usrp_std module
properly;
I’m not sure of the order of events that should happen to start getting
data out
of the module. I can never get it to assert the usbrdy[1] signal, and
thus it
never has data ready . Here are the highlights of what I do:

I create a usb, adc, and master clock: (default time unit is ns)

always #16 clk_120mhz = ~clk_120mhz; //1/16ns = 62.5MHz (?)
always #60 usbclk = ~usbclk; //1/60ns = 16.67MHz (what does FX2 give
us?)
always #16 adclk = ~adclk; // 1/16ns = 62.5MHz

I start generating adc data

always @(posedge adclk) adc1_data <= #1 adc1_data + 1;
always @(posedge adclk) adc2_data <= #1 adc2_data + 1;

I (think) I reset the rx and (presumably non-existent) tx chains:

#1000
send_config_word(`FR_MASTER_CTRL,32’hc); //TX, RX reset

I then set up what I think are the pertinent registers to get the rx
chains
going:

#1000
send_config_word(FR_MASTER_CTRL, 32'h2); //RX enable send_config_word(FR_RX_SAMPLE_RATE_DIV, 32’h2); // 128e6/64e6 = 2
divisor
(closest!)

send_config_word(FR_DECIM_RATE, 32'h1); //decimation rate = 1 send_config_word(FR_RX_FREQ_0, 32’h0); //ddc center freq, rx0 = 0
send_config_word(FR_RX_FREQ_1, 32'h0); //ddc center freq, rx1 = 0 send_config_word(FR_RX_PHASE_0, 32’h0); //ddc phase acc word
send_config_word(FR_RX_PHASE_1, 32'h0); //ddc phase acc word send_config_word(FR_RX_MUX, {12’h0, 2’h3, 2’h3, 2’h2, 2’h2, 2’h1,
2’h1, 2’h0,
2’h0, 1’b1, 3’h0});
//rx mux set so that DDCn gets ADCn, complex samples
ignored
send_config_word(`FR_RX_FORMAT, {21’h0, 1’b0, 1’b1, 5’hf, 4’h0}); //set
rx data
format control register: 16 bits, want Q

I can see in ModelSim that the serial data is banged in properly.
However, I
get no joy. The usrp_std module simply never spits anything out. The
burst_usb_read() task included with the test bench code waits for
usbrdy[1] to
be asserted, but it never does. I’ve already tried to set the OE and RD
inputs
to see what happens, but nothing does.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

First mistake: the 2rx 0tx doesn’t actually work (or I’m too stupid to
make it
work :slight_smile: I’m using the default 2rx 2tx config, and the usrp_std module
is now
responding to input, although it’s not showing me what I want yet.

Has anyone else had experience writing test benches for the full chip?
