Introduction
============

This document describes the operation and use of a test bitstream for the FCRAM interface on the LatticeXP™-
Advanced evaluation board. This design implemented by Verilog language is targeted to LFXP10C-5 for running 
FCRAM memory test at 133.33MHz.

The bitstream described in this document was developed using the Lattice FCRAM I Controller for
LatticeXP™(FCRAM-ONE-XM-N1). More information on this IP core can be found on the Lattice web site at: 
www.latticesemi.com/ip.

The LatticeEC Advanced Evaluation Board features an on-board FCRAM, TOSHIBA TC59LM806CFT-50. See the Users 
Manual of the board for further information.

For LatticeXP™ family, one bitstream file is included in the ZIP file included with this document for 
the support of the 133.33MHz frequency:

Board Setup
===========

1. Set the Vccio pins of banks 0, 1, 6, 7 to 2.5V by moving all jumpers from JP1, JP2 or JP4 to JP3.
2. Install four jumpers on either JP7, JP9, or JP11 to select the core voltage for LFXP10C.
3. Set the pins (CFG1, CFG0) of SW4 OFF. (Pull the SW4 pins up.)
4. SW1 pin 8 is the "rst_n" reset signal. This needs to be pulled up to lease the reset state.
5. Enable the power circuit by installing jumper between pin 2 and pin 3 of JP15-JP18: 
   The pin 2 and pin 3 of JP15 and JP16 are the left hand side two pins.
   The pin 2 and pin 3 of JP17 and JP18 are the lower two pins.
6. The 33.33MHz oscillator must be installed in pins 1, 7 (GND), 10 (CLK) and 16 (3.3V) of the DIP-16 socket.
   This will provide a clock signal to the FPGA through ball A10.
7. Use a 5V power supply that can provide adequate current to the board.

Memory Testing Algorithm:
=========================

The test is completed by writing test_data into address space (from 0 to 1FFFFFE) 
of the user interface and then read the data back for checking.

The test starts from writing 0x01 to byte_1 (D15-D8) and 0xfe to byte_0 (D7-D0) 
of address 0x0000000, then the test data will be rotated within the byte and the 
address will be increased by 2 for the next write cycle.

When the write reaches address 0x1fffffe, reading and verification will be started 
from address 0x0000000, and then address 0x0000002, ...

After the read reaches address 0x1fffffe, one test is considered as completed and 
the test_data will be changed for the next test.

In order to prevent writing the same pattern to the same address location for 
every test, the test_data is rotated and then inverted at address 0x0000000 before 
a new test starts.

The following are the testing sequences:

                             byte_1  byte_0
                             D15-D8  D7-D0

Test results:
=============

There are two counters implemented for showing the number of successful tests 
and failed tests.

While reading data back for verification, if any data in any address location 
is incorrect, the failure counter will be increased by one.

Only if all the data in all address locations are correct, the success counter 
will be increased.

   number_of_tests_passed: displayed on LEDs D8(MSB), D7, D6, D5(LSB)
   number_of_tests_failed: displayed on LEDs D4(MSB), D3, D2, D1(LSB)

Waveform Measuring:
===================

For measuring write cycle timing, set trigger at falling edge of ball F3 (signal fsm2).

For measuring read cycle timing, set trigger at rising edge of ball F3 (signal fsm2).
