Split fft_engine FSM: async reset for control, sync reset for DSP/BRAM datapath (Build 11)
...
Split monolithic always block into two:
- Block 1 (async reset): FSM state, counters, output interface
(dout_re/im, dout_valid, done) — deterministic startup
- Block 2 (sync reset): DSP/BRAM pipeline registers (rd_b_re/im,
rd_tw_cos/sin, bf_prod_re/im, rd_a_re/im, bf_t_re/im, rd_tw_idx,
rd_addr_even/odd, rd_inverse) — enables hard block absorption
Also convert output pipeline (out_pipe_valid/inverse) to sync reset.
Expected synthesis impact:
- DSP48E1 AREG/BREG absorption for butterfly multiply inputs
- DSP48E1 PREG absorption for multiply outputs (bf_prod_re/im)
- BRAM output register absorption for rd_a_re/im
- Eliminate ~300 DPIR-1 methodology warnings per FFT instance
- Resolve DPOP-2 (PREG=0), RBOR-1 (BRAM DOA), REQP-1839/1840
13/13 regression suites pass. Integration golden: 2048/2048 exact match.

Convert CIC comb + FIR delay_line to sync reset for DSP48 absorption (Build 10)
...
CIC: async→sync reset on decimation control, valid pipeline, and comb
section. Added (* use_dsp = "yes" *) on comb[] to force DSP48E1
absorption of 28-bit subtracts (was 7-deep CARRY4, Build 9 critical
path at WNS +0.128ns). Targets ~10 additional DSP48E1s.
FIR: async→sync reset on delay_line block, enabling DSP48E1 AREG/BREG
absorption. Targets elimination of ~2,522 DPIR-1 methodology warnings.
13/13 regression suites pass. Integration golden: 2048/2048 exact 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.

Convert async→sync reset on DSP/BRAM datapath registers for timing closure
...
P1-CRITICAL: doppler_processor.v — split FSM into control (async reset)
and BRAM/DSP datapath (sync reset) blocks. Fixes REQP-1839/1840 BRAM
address register corruption risk; enables DSP48 absorption of window
multipliers (mult_i/q).
P1-CRITICAL: frequency_matched_filter.v — convert all 4 pipeline stages
(input capture, multiply, add, saturate) from async to sync reset.
Enables DSP48E1 absorption of complex multiplier registers.
P1-HIGH: fir_lowpass.v — convert adder tree (L0-L4), output stage, and
valid pipeline from async to sync reset. Fixes 856 DPOR-1 warnings
(428 per FIR instance × 2 I/Q channels), enabling DSP48 absorption
of the entire pipelined adder tree.
Expected impact: eliminate ~1000 DRC warnings, improve WNS from +0.019ns
by enabling Vivado to absorb hundreds of registers into DSP48E1/BRAM
hard blocks. Full regression: 13/13 test suites pass (257+ assertions).

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 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).

Formal verification (SymbiYosys + smtbmc/z3):
- cdc_single_bit: BMC PASS depth 80, cover PASS 3/3
- cdc_handshake: BMC PASS depth 100, cover PASS 4/4
- cdc_adc_to_processing: BMC PASS depth 80, cover PASS
- radar_mode_controller: BMC PASS depth 200, cover PASS 8/8
- range_bin_decimator: cover PASS 7/7, BMC running (step 61+)
- doppler_processor: cover running (step 133/150), BMC running (step 35+)
DUT bug fixes found by formal:
- doppler_processor: write_chirp_index overflow past CHIRPS_PER_FRAME-1
in S_ACCUMULATE frame-complete branch (reset to 0)
- doppler_processor: read_doppler_index unclamped prefetch in S_LOAD_FFT
causing OOB BRAM reads (clamped to DOPPLER_FFT_SIZE-1)
CDC fix (prior session, included):
- cdc_modules: async reset changed to sync reset on all CDC sync chains
to prevent metastability on reset deassertion
RTL changes for formal observability:
- Added ifdef FORMAL output ports to cdc_handshake (6), cdc_adc (2),
radar_mode_controller (2), range_bin_decimator (5), doppler_processor (11)

Build 3 on XC7A200T-2FBG484I achieves full timing closure:
- WNS +0.040ns (setup), WHS +0.036ns (hold), 0 failing endpoints
- Add 3 hold false-path waivers for ODDR/BUFIO I/O boundaries
(DAC clk_120m→dac_clk_fwd, FT601 ft601_clk_in→ft601_clk_fwd,
ADC adc_d_p→adc_dco_p) — all artifacts of STA modeling
- Comment out ft601_be[2:3] pins (RTL only drives [1:0])
- Remove CIC multicycle paths (DSP48E1 cells not matchable)
- Add -quiet to IOB properties for tristate/optimized registers

Migrate hardware platform from XC7A50T to XC7A200T-2FBG484I
...
Production FPGA: Artix-7 XC7A200T-2FBG484I (33,650 slices, 740 DSP48E1,
365 BRAM, -2 speed grade). Pin-mapped across 6 banks with proper VCCO
assignment (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V).
RTL timing primitives added for clean timing closure:
- ad9484_interface_400m.v: BUFIO for IDDR capture at 400MHz DDR,
BUFG for fabric logic, reset synchronizer (P1-7)
- dac_interface_single.v: ODDR for dac_clk forwarding + dac_data[7:0]
output registration, eliminates clock-forwarding insertion delay
- usb_data_interface.v: ODDR for ft601_clk_out forwarding, FSM runs
on ft601_clk_in domain with CDC synchronizers
Constraints:
- New production XDC (xc7a200t_fbg484.xdc): 182 pins, generated clocks
for ODDR outputs, BUFIO/DDR input delays, fixed false_path strategy
(from reset source, not to CLR pins), IOB packing on cells not ports
- Preserved upstream XDC as xc7a50t_ftg256.xdc for reference
- Updated cntrt.xdc with DRC fixes (I/O standards, missing constraints)

ADC data path between ad9484_interface and DDC
P1-5: fir_lowpass.v — fixed zero replication count in coefficient
symmetric extension ({0{1'b0}} is empty, now uses explicit 0)

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.

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.

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

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

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).
