Gap 2 GUI Settings: runtime chirp timing, stream control gating, status readback (18/18 FPGA, 20/20 MCU)
...
Register map: 0x10-0x15 chirp timing overrides, 0xFF status readback,
0x03 CFAR threshold now wired to actual compare, 0x04 stream control
gates USB write FSM. Status readback sends 7-word packet (0xBB header,
5 status words, 0x55 footer) via toggle CDC.
radar_mode_controller: 6 cfg_* input ports replace hardcoded parameters.
usb_data_interface: stream_control CDC, status_request toggle CDC,
SEND_STATUS state (3'd7), stream gating in IDLE/HEADER/RANGE/DOPPLER.
radar_system_top: 6 host registers + command decode for 0x10-0x15/0xFF.
radar_receiver_final: 6 host_* timing passthrough ports.
Testbench coverage: RMC 81 checks (+TG16 runtime reconfig), USB 77
checks (+TG15 stream gating, TG16 status readback, TG17 chirp opcodes).
Fixed iverilog 13.0 forward-ref for status_req_toggle_100m.

Gap 4 USB Read Path: wire host-to-FPGA command path with toggle CDC, add read path tests
...
- usb_data_interface.v: Add FT601 read FSM (RD_IDLE/OE_ASSERT/READING/
DEASSERT/PROCESS) + cmd_data/valid/opcode/addr/value output ports
- radar_system_top.v: Connect cmd_* ports from usb_inst, add toggle CDC
for cmd_valid (ft601_clk -> clk_100m), add command decode registers
(mode/trigger/cfar_threshold/stream_control), wire host_mode and
host_trigger to rx_inst
- radar_receiver_final.v: Add host_mode[1:0] and host_trigger input
ports, replace hardcoded mode/trigger in radar_mode_controller instance
- tb_usb_data_interface.v: Connect cmd_* ports, add host data bus driver,
add Test Groups 12 (single command), 13 (multiple commands), 14
(read/write interleave). USB TB now has 55 checks.

Gap 7 MMCM jitter cleaner + CIC comb CREG pipeline + XDC clock-name fix
...
MMCM (Gap 7):
- Add adc_clk_mmcm.v: MMCME2_ADV wrapper (VCO=800MHz, CLKOUT0=400MHz)
- Modify ad9484_interface_400m.v: replace BUFG with MMCM path, gate reset on mmcm_locked
- Add adc_clk_mmcm.xdc: CDC false paths for clk_mmcm_out0 <-> clk_100m
XDC Fix (Build 19 WNS=-0.011 root cause):
- Remove conflicting create_generated_clock -name clk_400m_mmcm
- Replace all clk_400m_mmcm references with Vivado auto-generated clk_mmcm_out0
- CDC false paths now correctly apply to actual timing paths
CIC CREG Pipeline (Build 18 critical path fix):
- Explicit DSP48E1 for comb[0] with CREG=1/AREG=1/BREG=1/PREG=1
- Absorbs integrator_sampled_comb fabric FDRE into DSP48 C-port register
- Eliminates 0.643ns fabric->DSP routing delay (Build 18 tightest path)
- +1 cycle comb latency via data_valid_comb_0_out pipeline
- Move shared register declarations above ifndef SIMULATION (iverilog fix)
- Update golden data for +1 cycle CIC pipeline shift
Build scripts: build19_mmcm.tcl, build20_mmcm_creg.tcl

Add Phase 0 Vivado-style lint to regression runner, update golden data
...
Adds two-layer lint pass (iverilog -Wall + custom static checks) that
catches part-select OOB errors and case-without-default warnings before
pushing to remote Vivado. Catches the exact Synth 8-524 class error that
broke Build 18 initial attempt. Lint errors abort regression; warnings
are advisory. Regenerated golden data for BRAM-migrated matched filter.

FIR DSP48 pipelining (BREG+MREG) + matched filter BRAM migration with overlap cache
...
FIR: Add coeff_reg/mult_reg pipeline stages to fix 68 DPIP-1 + 35 DPOP-2
DRC warnings. Valid pipeline widened 7→9 bits (+2 cycle latency).
Matched filter: Migrate input_buffer_i/q from register arrays to BRAM
(~33K FF savings). Overlap-save uses register cache captured during
ST_PROCESSING to avoid BRAM read/write conflicts during overlap copy.
New ST_OVERLAP_COPY state writes cached tail samples back sequentially.
Both changes pass 18/18 FPGA regression. Golden data regenerated for
+2 FIR latency baseline.

CIC comb pipeline registers, BUFG sim guard, system TB fix, regression runner
...
- cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v: Add integrator_sampled_comb and
data_valid_comb_pipe pipeline stages between integrator sampling and
comb computation to break the critical path (matches remote 40cda0f)
- radar_system_top.v: Wrap 3 BUFG instances in ifdef SIMULATION guard
with pass-through assigns for iverilog compatibility
- radar_system_tb.v: Convert generate_radar_echo function to task and
move sin_lut declaration before task (iverilog declaration-order fix),
add modular index clamping to prevent LUT out-of-bounds
- run_regression.sh: Automated regression runner for all 18 FPGA
testbenches with --quick mode. Results: 17 pass, 1 pre-existing fail
- .gitignore: Exclude *.vvp, *.vcd simulation artifacts

Phase 1 hardware bring-up prep: ILA debug probes, CDC waivers, programming scripts
...
- Rename latency_buffer_2159 -> latency_buffer (module + file + all refs)
- Add CDC waivers for 5 verified false-positive criticals to XDC
- Add ILA debug probe insertion script (4 cores, 126 probe bits, 2 clock domains)
- Add FPGA programming script (7-step flow with DONE pin verification)
- Add ILA capture script (4 scenarios + health check, CSV export)
- Add debug_ila.xdc with MARK_DEBUG fallback attributes
- Full regression clean: 13/13 suites, 266/266 checks, 2048/2048 golden match

Rewrite integration testbench with golden self-reference comparison + physics bounds checks
...
Replace smoke-test integration TB (10 liveness checks) with golden
comparison architecture (18 checks). Two compile-time modes:
- GOLDEN_GENERATE: dumps 2048 Doppler outputs to golden_doppler.mem
- Default: loads golden, compares within ±2 LSB tolerance per channel
New checks: G1 golden comparison (2048/2048 exact match verified),
B1a/b DDC energy bounds, B2a/b Doppler per-bin energy, B3 exact count,
B4 full 64x32 bin coverage, B5 no duplicate indices.
Fault injection verified: zeroing FIR coeff[15] causes 2048/2048
golden mismatches (max err 1234/1443 LSB), confirming regression guard.

Fix CDC reset domain bug (P0), strengthen testbenches with 31 structural assertions
...
Split cdc_adc_to_processing reset_n into src_reset_n/dst_reset_n so source
and destination clock domains use correctly-synchronized resets. Previously
cdc_chirp_counter's destination-side sync chain (100MHz) was reset by
sys_reset_120m_n (120MHz domain), causing 30 CDC critical warnings.
RTL changes:
- cdc_modules.v: split reset port, source logic uses src_reset_n,
destination sync chains + output logic use dst_reset_n
- radar_system_top.v: cdc_chirp_counter gets proper per-domain resets
- ddc_400m.v: CDC_FIR_i/q use reset_n_400m (src) and reset_n (dst)
- formal/fv_cdc_adc.v: updated wrapper for new port interface
Build 7 fixes (previously untouched):
- radar_transmitter.v: SPI level-shifter assigns, STM32 GPIO CDC sync
- latency_buffer_2159.v: BRAM read registration
- constraints: ft601 IOB -quiet fix
- tb_latency_buffer.v: updated for BRAM changes
Testbench hardening (tb_cdc_modules.v, +31 new assertions):
- A5-A7: split-domain reset tests (staggered deassertion, independent
dst reset while src active — catches the P0 bug class)
- A8: port connectivity (no X/Z on outputs)
- B7: cdc_single_bit port connectivity
- C6: cdc_handshake reset recovery + port connectivity
Full regression: 13/13 test suites pass (257 total assertions).

Fix range_bin_decimator overflow guard priority bug: group completion now takes precedence over overflow guard in ST_PROCESS, ensuring all OUTPUT_BINS outputs are emitted when sufficient input samples exist. Split formal property 5 into 5a (upper bound) and 5b (exact count when start_bin=0), added Cover 4 for overflow guard path, reduced BMC depth to 50.

Fix all 10 CDC bugs from report_cdc audit, add overflow guard in range_bin_decimator
...
CDC fixes across 6 RTL files based on post-implementation report_cdc analysis:
- P0: sync stm32_mixers_enable and new_chirp_pulse to clk_120m via toggle CDC
in radar_transmitter, add ft601 reset synchronizer and USB holding
registers with proper edge detection in usb_data_interface
- P1: add ASYNC_REG to edge_detector, convert new_chirp_frame to toggle CDC,
fix USB valid edge detect to use fully-synced signal
- P2: register Gray encoding in cdc_adc_to_processing source domain, sync
ft601_txe and stm32_mixers_enable for status_reg in radar_system_top
- Safety: add in_bin_count overflow guard in range_bin_decimator to prevent
downstream BRAM corruption
All 13 regression test suites pass (159 individual tests).

and XDC (uncomment be[2:3] pin assignments B21/A21)
- Fix NCO XSim testbench: correct reset check (0x7FFF not 0), add pipeline
warmup and sample skip for DSP48E1 quadrature test

Regenerate chirp .mem files, add USB testbench, convert radar_system_tb to Verilog-2001
...
- Regenerate all 10 chirp .mem files with correct AERIS-10 parameters
(gen_chirp_mem.py: phase = pi*chirp_rate*t^2, 4 segments x 1024)
- Add gen_chirp_mem.py script for reproducible .mem generation
- Add tb_usb_data_interface.v testbench (39/39 PASS)
- Convert radar_system_tb.v from SystemVerilog to Verilog-2001:
replace $sin() with LUT, inline integer decl, SVA with procedural checks
- All testbenches pass: integration 10/10, MF 3/3, multi-seg 32/32,
DDC 4/4, Doppler 14/14, USB 39/39, .mem validation 56/56

Fix overlap-save: fill full 1024-sample buffer per segment, zero-pad last partial segment
...
Previously segment 0 only filled positions [0:895], leaving [896:1023]
as zeros from the initial block. These zeros propagated into the overlap
region of subsequent segments, corrupting the convolution.
Fix: change buffer-full threshold from SEGMENT_ADVANCE (896) to
BUFFER_SIZE (1024). Add zero-padding for the last segment when chirp
data runs out before the buffer is full. Updated testbench accordingly.
Verified: multi-segment 32/32 PASS, integration test 10/10 PASS.

Fix RTL Bug #3 : S_IDLE->S_ACCUMULATE now writes first sample immediately
...
Previously the S_IDLE->S_ACCUMULATE transition consumed one data_valid
cycle without writing to BRAM, losing the first sample. The testbench
worked around this by sending sample[0] twice.
Fix: drive mem_we + data capture in S_IDLE on the transition cycle and
advance write_range_bin to 1. Testbench workaround removed.
Verified: 3/3 Doppler co-sim BIT-PERFECT, integration test 10/10 PASS.

Fix multi-seg/chain handshake deadlock + add radar_receiver_final integration test (10/10 PASS)
...
RTL fix: matched_filter_multi_segment.v ST_WAIT_FFT now waits for
processing chain to complete ALL 1024 outputs and return to IDLE
before advancing to next segment. Previously, it transitioned on the
first fft_pc_valid edge, causing the chain to still be outputting
while multi-seg started collecting data for the next segment. This
broke the handshake and caused permanent deadlock after segment 0.
Also fixes forward reference of sample_addr_from_chain in
radar_receiver_final.v (declaration moved before first use).
New files:
- tb/tb_radar_receiver_final.v: P0 integration test for full RX
pipeline (ADC->DDC->MF->range_bin_decimator->doppler), 10 checks
- tb/ad9484_interface_400m_stub.v: behavioral ADC stub for iverilog
All existing tests still pass: multi-seg 32/32, MF co-sim 3/3,
Doppler co-sim 14/14.

Fix ddc_input_interface 18->16 bit overflow: add saturation at positive full scale
...
Bug: rounding logic 'adc_i <= ddc_i[17:2] + ddc_i[1]' overflows when
ddc_i[17:2]=0x7FFF and ddc_i[1]=1, causing 0x7FFF+1=0x8000 (sign flip
from max positive to most negative value).
Fix: add explicit saturation — clamp to 0x7FFF when truncated value is
max positive and round bit is set. Negative values cannot overflow since
rounding only moves toward zero.
New testbench: tb_ddc_input_interface.v with 26 tests covering rounding,
truncation, overflow saturation at positive boundary, negative full scale,
valid synchronization, and sync error detection.

Fix doppler_processor windowing pipeline bugs + multi-segment buffer_write_ptr bug, add co-sim suites
...
RTL bug fixes:
- doppler_processor.v: Add S_PRE_READ state to prime BRAM pipeline, restructure
S_LOAD_FFT with sub-counter staging, fix BRAM address off-by-one
(read_doppler_index <= fft_sample_counter + 2, was +1). All 3 Doppler
co-sim scenarios now achieve BIT-PERFECT match (correlation=1.0, energy=1.0).
- matched_filter_multi_segment.v: Move buffer_write_ptr >= SEGMENT_ADVANCE check
outside if(ddc_valid) block to prevent FSM deadlock. 32/32 tests PASS.
New co-simulation infrastructure:
- Doppler co-sim: tb_doppler_cosim.v (14/14 structural checks),
gen_doppler_golden.py (3 scenarios: stationary/moving/two_targets),
compare_doppler.py (bit-perfect thresholds)
- Multi-segment co-sim: tb_multiseg_cosim.v (32/32), gen_multiseg_golden.py
with short and long test vector suites

Add Phase 0.5 DDC co-simulation suite: bit-accurate Python model, scene generator, and 5/5 scenario validation
...
Bit-accurate Python model (fpga_model.py) mirrors full DDC RTL chain:
NCO -> mixer -> CIC -> FIR with exact fixed-point arithmetic matching
RTL DSP48E1 pipeline behavior including CREG=1 delay on CIC int_0.
Synthetic radar scene generator (radar_scene.py) produces ADC test
vectors for 5 scenarios: DC, single target (500m), multi-target (5),
noise-only, and 1 MHz sine wave.
DDC co-sim testbench (tb_ddc_cosim.v) feeds hex vectors through RTL
DDC and exports baseband I/Q to CSV. All 5 scenarios compile and run
with Icarus Verilog (iverilog -g2001 -DSIMULATION).
Comparison framework (compare.py) validates Python vs RTL using
statistical metrics (RMS ratio, DC offset, peak ratio) rather than
exact sample match due to RTL LFSR phase dithering. Results: 5/5 PASS.

Achieve full timing closure on xc7a100tcsg324-1 at 400 MHz (0 violations)
...
Complete FPGA timing closure across all clock domains after 9 iterative
Vivado builds. WNS improved from -48.325ns to +0.018ns (107,886 endpoints).
RTL fixes for 400 MHz timing:
- NCO: 6-stage pipeline with DSP48E1 phase accumulator, registered LUT
index (Fix D splits address decode from ROM read), distributed RAM
- CIC: explicit DSP48E1 PCOUT->PCIN cascade for 5 integrator stages,
CREG=1 on integrator_0 to eliminate fabric->DSP setup violation
- DDC: 400 MHz reset synchronizer (async-assert/sync-deassert),
active-high reset register for DSP48E1 RST ports, posedge output stage
- FIR: 5-stage binary adder tree pipeline (7-cycle latency)
- FFT: 5-cycle butterfly pipeline with registered twiddle index,
XPM_MEMORY_TDPRAM for data storage
- XDC: CDC false paths, async reset false paths, CIC comb multicycle paths
Final Build 9 timing (all MET):
adc_dco_p (400 MHz): WNS = +0.278ns
clk_100m (100 MHz): WNS = +0.018ns
clk_120m_dac (120 MHz): WNS = +0.992ns

Replace FFT stubs with synthesizable radix-2 DIT engine, fix BRAM inference
...
Implement iterative single-butterfly FFT engine (fft_engine.v) supporting
1024-pt and 32-pt transforms with quarter-wave twiddle ROM, XPM_MEMORY_TDPRAM
for guaranteed BRAM mapping in Vivado, and behavioral model for simulation.
Add xfft_32.v AXI-Stream wrapper for doppler_processor integration and
dual-branch matched_filter_processing_chain.v (behavioral + synthesis paths).
Fix placement failure caused by 68K+ registers from dissolved memory arrays:
- doppler_processor.v: extract mem writes to sync-only always block for BRAM
- xfft_32.v: extract buffer writes to sync-only always block for LUTRAM
Post-implementation: 37K regs (29%), 23K LUTs (37%), 10 BRAM (7%), fully routed.
All testbenches pass: fft_engine 12/12, xfft_32 10/10, mf_chain 27/27.

Achieve timing closure: DSP48E1 pipelines, 4-stage NCO, 28-bit CIC, ASYNC_REG
...
Phase 0+ timing optimization (attempts #13-22 + implementation):
NCO (nco_400m_enhanced.v):
- 4-stage pipeline: DSP48E1 accumulate -> LUT read -> negate -> quadrant MUX
- DSP48E1 phase accumulator in P=P+C mode (eliminates 8-stage CARRY4 chain)
- Registered phase_inc_dithered to break cascaded 32-bit add path
DDC (ddc_400m.v):
- Direct DSP48E1 instantiation for I/Q mixers (AREG=1, BREG=1, MREG=1, PREG=1)
- CEP=1, RSTP=!reset_n for proper pipeline control
- 3-stage dsp_valid_pipe for PREG=1 latency
- Behavioral sim model under ifdef SIMULATION for Icarus compatibility
CIC (cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v):
- 28-bit accumulators (was 36) per CIC width formula: 18 + 5*log2(4) = 28
- Removed integrator/comb saturation (CIC uses wrapping arithmetic by design)
- Pipelined output saturation comparison
CDC/ASYNC_REG:
- ASYNC_REG attribute on all CDC synchronizer registers (cdc_modules.v,
radar_system_top.v, usb_data_interface.v)
- Sync reset in generate blocks (cdc_modules.v)
Results: Vivado post-implementation WNS=+1.196ns, 0 failing endpoints,
850 LUTs (1.34%), 466 FFs (0.37%), 2 DSP48E1 (0.83%) on xc7a100t.
All testbenches pass: 241/244 (3 known stub failures).

Add 3 missing FPGA modules with enhanced testbenches (168/168 pass)
...
Implement the 3 modules identified as missing during repo audit:
- matched_filter_processing_chain: behavioral FFT-based pulse compression
- range_bin_decimator: 1024→64 bin decimation with 3 modes + start_bin
- radar_mode_controller: 4-mode beam/chirp controller
Wire radar_mode_controller into radar_receiver_final.v to drive the
previously-undriven use_long_chirp and mc_new_* signals.
Implement start_bin functionality in range_bin_decimator (was dead code
in the original interface contract — now skips N input bins before
decimation for region-of-interest selection).
Add comprehensive testbenches with Tier 1 confidence improvements:
- Golden reference co-simulation (Python FFT → hex → bin comparison)
- Saturation boundary tests (0x7FFF / 0x8000 extremes)
- Reset mid-operation recovery tests
- Valid-gap / stall handling tests
- Mode switching and counter persistence tests
- Accumulator overflow stress tests
Test counts: matched_filter 40/40, range_bin_decimator 55/55,
radar_mode_controller 73/73 — all passing with iverilog -g2001.
