acathla: the uart-> wishbone interface is indeed pretty nice to debug and do stuff

Hi, i just created a #litex freenode channel for LiteX & Cores related discussions, feel free to join for questions/issues related to this.

you made some comments in an email a while back: "Another thing about DRTIO in general: the skew from the transceiver clock input pins to TXOUTCLK (used as RTIO clock), on both KU and A7:"
<hartytp_>
...
<hartytp_>
am I right in thinking that we could drive the DRTIO clock directly from the MGTREF using a BUFG_GT on the IBUFDS_GTE ODIV2 port
<hartytp_>
wouldn't that give deterministic phase?
<hartytp_>
If I follow your point correctly, we currently clock the local rtio logic from the transceiver TXOUTCLK, which is derived from the CPLL output via an unsynchronised divider
<hartytp_>
" * DDMTD on Ultrascale with one clock from the GTH and one clock from an I/O bank exhibits high peak-to-peak jitter and unexplained intermittent skews that are not corrected by averaging"

that's a bit scary. Is the configuration you mean here, having one DDMTD input from an LVDS input and the other input being the transceiver clock internally routed to the DDMTD DFF? Does this depend on which IO is used and where the DDMTD DFFs are located on the FPGA?
<hartytp_>
is it better to use externally route the recovered clock to an IO pin and use two IOs on the same bank for the DDMTD? (or, don't know?)
<hartytp_>
also:
<hartytp_>
1. what are you discussing with Xilinx, and did they have anything useful to say
<hartytp_>
2. you mention GC pins and BUFGs. Where do they come into this?
<hartytp_>
3. if you did add a timing FPGA onto Metlino, how would that work then Sayma is connected to the master over SPF?
<hartytp_>
basically, I'm trying to make sure I understand your observations and any implications they have for WR plans...

Just a reminder, if anyone can take a peak at the documentation that I've produced thus far and provide a review before I move on to other things, that would be a great help to me. Thank you!
<kc5tja>
(Also, would love feedback on what to document next. In the absence of any such feedback, I'll try to modernize a tutorial I have bookmarked for this purpose and include it as a chapter in the documentation.)
