These bitfiles use four-port DRAM FIFOs and only connect two of those
ports. We skip the warnings as that is the intended build behaviour.

up-to-date information
- The FPGA manual is also updated
- All checked-in build artifacts are now removed from git
- axi_ram_fifo.yml is updated to provide include path information
(required for building N3xx BIST images, which use this)
Original-commit: 28b994406d4c9547b1e2add62781b6a8162fdb74
Most important effect of this change: rfnoc_image_builder is now
required to build bitfiles, 'make' alone won't suffice any longer!
This is a huge changeset to the image builder that combines multiple new
features:
- There no longer is a separate edge file for the static router. The
static routes are generated as a Verilog parameter directly into the
rfnoc_core_kernel (which is also modified).
- image_builder.py is split up into several smaller files. Code is moved
into yaml_utils.py, and the new files grc.py, builder_config.py
- Generic module support is added. Aside from noc blocks and stream
endpoints, we can now instantiate arbitrary modules (they also require
a YAML description file).
- To enable such modules, resets are now also tracked the same way that
clock domains are.
- The ImageBuilderConfig config object now more closes matches the
original YAML file. The attributes 'clk_domain_con' and 'block_con' are
removed. Instead, the attributes 'connections' and 'clk_domains' are
sanitized and amended with extra annotations. The templates are
updated to reflect this change.
- IO ports can now carry parameters, e.g., to have variable wire widths
based on the configuration.
- Many Pylint warnings were resolved.
- Add inheritance support for image core YAML files.
This allows image core files to (recursively) inherit from other image
core files. To do so, simply put an 'inherit' entry at the top of the
file:
```yaml
inherit: 'x410_radio_base.yml'
```
- The inheritance feature is used as part of the image core files.
- Image core and DTS files are now generated as a build artefact into
the build directory. This requires the usage of rfnoc_image_builder to
build images. As a consequence, it is no longer required to check in
image core Verilog files.
- As another consequence, rfnoc_image_builder is required to build
bitfiles!
- Image flavours are no longer defined through Makefiles, but purely
from the image core YAML files.
- Remove all image core YAML files that do not generate a shipping
image. Because of the inheritance feature and the requirement to use
the image builder, it is trivial to add new YAML files.
- Add support for transport adapters through the YAML files. Before,
transport adapters were inferred from the make target (e.g.,
X410_X4_200 would have four 10GbE links based on the 'X4' substring).
Now, transport adapters are defined via the image core YAML.
- This feature is currently only used (or can be used) by the X4xx
series. Older devices may or may not be ported to allow custom
transport adapters in the future.
- Add parameters to the BSP YAMLs and the devices itself. This allows
setting global parameters in the image core files. For example, the
X4x0 devices use this to decide if they instantiate DRAM channels.
- DTS includes and constraint files can now be requested by
blocks/transport adapter through their YAML files. They do no longer
need to be listed in the Makefile.
- Support for secure image cores. These are image cores that allow
incorporating RFNoC blocks that require license keys and thus can't
live in an open-source environment. This solution adds the option for
secure image cores without touching the open source feature set.
- Add --reuse option to allow manual editing of generated artefacts
- Allow IO signatures from any module: until now IO signatures had to be
defined in a single file (io_signatures). This file will persist. In
addition each module can add its own IO signature as with the same
format the core IO signatures placed under the top level key
`io_signatures`. IO signatures are still maintained in a global
dictionary. The consequence is that they can be shared among
independent modules as well as they have to have a globally unique
name. The image builder will warn about detected name clashes for the
signatures.
- As a consequence, some less commonly used IO signatures were moved to
their corresponding module YAML files.

It is, in principle, possible to use an external clock to synchronize
N3x0 devices in frequency, and then use a GPSDO for a coarse time
synchronization. This use case is deliberately not supported, as the
GPSDO PPS signal and the external clock signal are by definition not
matched, which will remove any guarantees on time/phase alignment.
Because there are certain, niche use cases where the lack of phase
alignment is acceptable, but only an external clock is available (no
shared external PPS), usage of GPS for generating a PPS signal may be
fine. This patch does not enable the usage of this combination out of
the box, but adds comments and an update to the manual to explain the
risks of this combination, and how to enable it (by patching MPM).

Adds a 266.667 MHz compute engine clock and uses it instead of the

Adds a BUILD_BASE_DIR makefile variable that allows you to specify the
base directory for FPGA build outputs. This allows you to put the
output from each run of make into a unique directory, or to run
multiple instances of make in parallel with each build's output being
put in a different directory. For example:
make X310_XG BUILD_BASE_DIR=/path/to/builds

Adds a BUILD_SEED make variable that can be set to a 32-bit integer,
and adds an FPGA read-only register initialized by this variable.
Changing this variable will randomly affect the FPGA build results.
This can be useful when your build fails timing by a small amount,
allowing you to build again and get different results with the same
code.
For example, you could run the following to produce an FPGA build with
different timing results from the default build:
make X310_XG BUILD_SEED=123

The FIR filter applied gain. Removing it caused incorrect scaling and
signals where every other sample was zero. Also parameterized heterodyne
frontend processing so it would not use resources in images not
requiring it.

Vivado has demonstrated difficulty meeting timing with the spi0_mosi split. To
improve the chances of meeting timing, we are routing this signal through a
BUFG. This makes the routing step use a more efficient net routing that eases
timing closure.

This adds the ability to do IP generation and FPGA builds using the
--jobs (-j) option with Make. For example, rather than generating each
IP one after another, you can generate up to N at a time using N Vivado
instances. This greatly reduces the IP generation time. Similarly,
parallel jobs can be used to easily build different FPGA variants
simultaneously.
Because FPGA builds can consume a lot of memory, care must be taken to
ensure that the number of jobs is not too high for the amount of memory
available.
New IP make targets were added for each USRP so that IP can be built
separately from the FPGA. The IP targets are now a dependency on each
FPGA target.
For example, you can generate the IP for X310 using 4 parallel jobs
using the following command:
make -j4 X310_IP
Or, build two X310 bitstreams simultaneously:
make -j2 X310_XG X310_HG

This causes the latest RFNoC protocol version to be used by default
and avoids the need to update YAML files every time the RFNoC

The FSRU (aka EISCAT) was never supported in UHD 4.0. The FPGA
repository never had the relevant files, and the block controller also
never existed. This removes all the corresponding files from MPM, as
well as some references from makefiles.

This sets the ARCH and PART_ID environment variables so that the
selected part family is used for simulations by default. This can be
overridden by changing them in the Makefile for the testbench if a
testbench requires a specific part family. Prior to this change, the
default was always ARCH=kintex7, PART_ID=xc7k410t/ffg900/-2, which
required support for that part to be installed.

This updates the IO signatures so that all devices and RFNoC blocks use
the same IO signature for the DRAM. This is needed because the IO
signatures must match between the RFNoC blocks and the devices. This
means that some devices have extra bits in the IO signature for the
address, but the extra bits will simply be ignored.
