For repository resampler_delay_tracker at path ../resampler_delay_tracker
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Set default for RDT FIR filter coefficient wrapping to NOT.
* CIP-1552 Add register bits to report output FIFO overflow conditions. Overflow triggers flagging until resampler is stopped - clearing the register bits.
* CIP-1552 update the interpolator coefficients, format and quantisation. Each phase has the same gain.
  * Filter coefficients are optimised so that each of the 1024 phases has the same 'energy' i.e. the same gain when a DC value is passed through.
* CIP-1552 add a filter select 'overflow due to dithering' control bit.
  * The when high the RDT filter takes the control bit and wraps the coefficients, instead of the step/eval control pausing evaluation to load an extra sample.  This allows the dithering to wrap back quickly.
  * Only when the dithering will not go backwards do we suffer the extra cycle penalty.
* Extend comments in rdt_nco.vhd

For repository tdc_vcc_processing at path ../tdc_vcc_processing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Updating system ID to report version 0.2.2
* Set number of receptors to 4 (not 8) for improved BITE performance.
  * With 4 receptors, BITE gets it's own DDR4 (no arbiter, so better replay performance).
* Enable different connection to the external memory, depending on BITE and number of Corner turners.
  * CornerTurner0 always to Bottom-Left EMIF.
  * CornerTurner1 (if exists, more than 4 receptors) to Bottom-Right EMIF.
  * BITE (if present) to Top-Right EMIF.
  * Long Term Accumulator to Bottom-right EMIF if no Corner Turner 1, else shares Top-Right with BITE.
* Split Visibility_transport into two entites a distributor and an aggregator.
  * The Aggregator ultimately belongs in the base partition (not FSP processing).
* Reverse port direction of 100GbE clocks that are now input to the persona. Matching chages to tdc_base.
* Tidy-up.
* Configure for eight antennas (AA1) using top-right 256GB DDR for LTA and BITE. Bottom DDRs for Corner Turner. Disable RDMA.
* Moved FSP histograms from LW register bus to HP bus.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Updating with Tests T001 T003 passing but T002 is failing

For repository visibility-packetiser at path ../visibility_packetiser
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Push reverse flow control up to a drop module, that terminates the current packet. It also enforces maximum packet length.
* Push reverse flow control out the o_meta_ack port.
* Change the "source_host_config" register identifier to "visibility_source_host_config" so that it doesn't clash with the RDMA register set of the same name.
  * Add register readback as promised by the json file.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No commits recorded since the last version tag (ska-mid-cbf-tdc-correlator-v0.2.0).

* Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into packet_merge
* More fix of header detatch for case where a whole word is detatched.
* Update to Packet Merge module and testbench.
  * Make minimum depth for pkt_len FIFO of 32.
  * Extract store and forward, packet ingress into own entity.
  * Make Testbench self checking. With axi_stream_slave component.
  * Fix templating for axi_stream_master component.
* Add new packet merge implementation. Move to eth_pkt_processing/template and generate for each bit-width.

* Add ranges to sync fifo almost empty/full generics based on the depth to try catch bad parameterisations.
* Merge branch 'bugfix--eth_pkt_proccessing/header_detach' into 'master'
  * bugfix header detach
  * See merge request SKA/util/wk_lib!4
* bugfix header detach
* Add to_gray and from_gray functions to misc_tools_pkg.
* Add a packet resize module to convert between 1G and 100G, update GMII to AXI4 Straming converter.
  * GMII gets independent tx clock and rx/general clock.

  * A synchronous version and a dual clock version.
  * Testbench and trial synth. Vunit to generate parameterisations.
* Alternate implementations for stratix10 SDP RAM implementation for sim and synth.
  * Questa-sim complains about altsyncram for Stratix10.
