Understanding SDF 3.0 in Chip Post-Simulation (Part 1)

Understanding SDF 3.0 in Chip Post-Simulation (Part 1)

SDF files replace the delay information specified in STD/IO/Macro gate-level Verilog with the actual physical delay information extracted from QRC/Star-RC during VCS/NC-Verilog post-simulation runtime. Therefore, if the condition information in the SDF file is not present in the Verilog specify, it will raise a warning of SDFCOM_INF, meaning IO PATH not found. This article analyzes … Read more

Image CSI-2 Decoding in Jingxin SoC

Image CSI-2 Decoding in Jingxin SoC

CSI-2 defines the communication data packet format between the host and peripherals for cameras. MIPI Rx supports pixel data parsing in RAW10/RAW12/RAW14 formats. There are two types of CSI-2 data packets: long frames and short frames. Regardless of whether it is a long frame or a short frame, the beginning of the frame is ST, … Read more
