In order to program the FPGA via JTAG in the AFCs is necessary to
first configure the SCANSTA chip as a transparent bridge.

The sync chains module was just a sync FIFO for synchronizing
all data chanins to a single clock domain. however, this
synchronization is already done, as all channels are clock-crossed
to the same reference clock.

This will ease timing on the datapath, as we have registered
the MUX output before the next components.

Add Xilinx MAX_FANOUT attribute to try to reduce
the reset fanout

As the design gets bigger, it may be difficult to
meet timing constraints for all Wishbone paths, specially
with nested crossbars. This patch adds a generic option
to enable an additional regsiter on the Wishbone path to
ease timing.

The previous default value was "VARIABLE", which has the advantage
of enabling intiial delay values in the UCF. However, changing
the value dynamically (in software) is not much pratical as we
would need to update the tap value one by one, incrementally.

The current value "VAR_LOADBLE" does not accept the initial
delay value in the UCF, but changing them in software is easier.

This allows the selection of the idelayctrl primitive through the
module top level

Now, it is possible to select an instance of idelayctrl
primitive or not. This is particularly useful when synthesizing
a large design that involves other idelayctrl primitives beyond
our control, such as Xilinx DDR controllers

In the new version of hdlmake, we need to supply
the ISE version we want to use

This was not supposed to be here, but we include it here,
as to not loose the changes

If we let the synthesis tool in its defauts attributes, the
pipeline gets removed and moved into a SRL primitive, causing
PCBs having ADC FMC data lines routed to oppositte FPGA I/O
banks to not meet timing. With these attributes we intruct
XST and MAP to keep the pipeline and not suck them into an
SRL, which would hurt the ability by MAP and PAR to move
the pipeline registers around to meet timing.

For single-ended pins, we can't use LVDS standard,
so we default to LVCMOS25. If the standard is actually
different from this, we could still override it in the UCF
file

Thse were causing lgic contention with some specific Xilinx
XST options, particularly KEEP_HIERARCHY = SOFT, to keep
the hierarchy so we could properly apply some AREA constraints.
The tool would GND these NETS anyway.

In the 7-SERIES families, the PLL and MMCM are two separate
primitives, very similar to each other. In other to reduce
the number of MMCM usage, we changed it to PLL here

This constraint was causing conflicts with the other
ones and a wrong PLL PERIOD contraint was taken into
account

This allow us to select a broader range of frequencies,
in order to generate a 100 MHz clock from a 125 MHz clock
source, for instance

Warning: MAP and PAR can take a long time due to
poor placement of the GTP tranceiver for the PCIe
core

On 7-SERIES FPGAs, we need to explicitily instantiate a
BUFMR primitive in order to use a MRCC pin as a drive to
a Multi-Region BUFR or BUFIO. Now, we can select which ones
of used clocks are LOCed to MRCC pins and which ones
are not.

For single-ended inputs, it is necessary to use
A single-ended standard, obviously

Exposed the idelay type desired to user. This brings flexibility
on selecting the different delay types for different FPGA devices

For 7SERIES FPGAs, the iodelay primitive has beed updated to
idelaye2. So, we add a differente generate for these FPGAs

The xwb_ethmac_adapter component uses compoenents from
the Etherbone core. As its naming has changed a while ago,
we need to update the components interfaces here

The g_ref_clk is out of bounds when using external clock
reference. So, we must use the f_adc_ref_clk () function

Replace direct usage of ref_clk generic by the
f_adc_ref_clk () function, which correctly selects the
adc ref clk in all cases, even when using an external
reference

As the ref_clk equal to "c_num_adc_channels" means
"external reference clock" we use a function to generate
the correct reference clock in all cases

The interface for the FMC ADC module have changed, so we
update them here in the top files

As the previous commit changed the interface of the
ADC module, we update them here

Add option to use an external supplied clock (usually from
another PLL or global clock buffer inside the FPGA) to clock
the data to downstream FPGA logic. This implies the ASYNC FIFO
after the first ADC acquisition and the synchronization betweem
multiple ADC channels.

This is useful when instantiating more than one ADC module, as
we don't need two reference clocks and more than one reference
would only make things harder.

The xwb_acq_core had a wrong addressing granularity.
The correct one is BYTE

Replaced hardcoded constant values to the ones
available in the bpm core constant packages
