4.3. Dynamic Reconfiguration Using QSF-driven Flow

This design example describes a reconfiguration group consisting for the 50G Ethernet Multirate IP core, 25G CPRI Multirate IP core, and the 100G Direct PHY IP.

In addition to the proper RTL connections for this design consisting of an instance of the Reconfiguration Controller Suite IP, the System Clock IP, and the three protocol IPs, the design requires the .qsf assignments shown below:
  • Create a dynamic reconfiguration group for all IPs, including the Multirate IPs:
    set_global_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_TYPE RG_TEST_GP:EXCLUSIVE:CLK_MASTER
set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP RG_TEST_GP -to my_dphy_inst_1|dphy_f_dr_0  

# Derive MR IP group name from QIP file and hpath of every instance to construct child DR group name
set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_PARENT RG_TEST_GP:my_mr_eth_inst_2|eth_f_dr_0/RG_A  
set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_PARENT RG_TEST_GP:my_mr_cpri_inst_3|cpriphy_mr_f_0/RG_A
  • Specify startup instance for the dynamic reconfiguration group:
    set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_STARTUP_INSTANCE OFF \
–to my_mr_eth_inst_2|eth_f_dr_0|U_base_profile|eth_f_0

set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_STARTUP_INSTANCE OFF \
–to my_mr_cpri_inst_3|cpriphy_mr_f_0|profile_0|cpriphy_ftile_0

set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_STARTUP_INSTANCE ON \
–to my_dphy_inst_1|dphy_f_dr_0 |profile_0|dphy_ftile_0
  • Bind each member IP of the dynamic reconfiguration group to a reconfiguration controller:
    set_instance_assignment -name IP_COLOCATE F_TILE \
-from dr_ctrl_inst_1|dr_f_0 -to my_dphy_inst_1|dphy_f_dr_0

set_instance_assignment -name IP_COLOCATE F_TILE \
-from dr_ctrl_inst_1|dr_f_0 -to my_mr_eth_inst_2|eth_f_dr_0 

set_instance_assignment -name IP_COLOCATE F_TILE \
-from dr_ctrl_inst_1|dr_f_0 -to my_mr_cpri_inst_3|cpriphy_mr_f_0
QSF assignments can also be used to modify the PMA analog parameters for your protocol IP on a per-profile basis. Examples of such assignments are shown below for a 2-lane DPHY MRIP variant with 2 profiles: 
set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "vsr_mode=VSR_MODE_DISABLE" -to q1_inst|dut|directphy_f_dr_0|U_base_profile|directphy_f_0|dphy_hip_inst|
persystem[0].perxcvr[1].fgt.rx_ux.x_bb_f_ux_rx -entity dphy_f_dr_intc_top

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "vsr_mode=VSR_MODE_DISABLE" -to 
q1_inst|dut|directphy_f_dr_0|U_base_profile|directphy_f_0|dphy_hip_inst|
persystem[0].perxcvr[0].fgt.rx_ux.x_bb_f_ux_rx -entity dphy_f_dr_intc_top

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "vsr_mode=VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS" -to 
q1_inst|dut|directphy_f_dr_0|U_sec_profile1|sec_profile_1|dphy_hip_inst|
persystem[0].perxcvr[0].fgt.rx_ux.x_bb_f_ux_rx -entity dphy_f_dr_intc_top

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "vsr_mode=VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS" -to 
q1_inst|dut|directphy_f_dr_0|U_sec_profile1|sec_profile_1|dphy_hip_inst|
persystem[0].perxcvr[1].fgt.rx_ux.x_bb_f_ux_rx -entity dphy_f_dr_intc_top

Note that the protocol IPs also contain Analog parameters tabs, which can be used to implement per-profile analog settings. Be aware that the QSF assignments take precedence over any GUI settings used in the protocol IPs.
