41 The Atmel AT40k Datasheet describes in great detail the resources
42 available in the AT40k as well as the FPGA portion of the AT94k
43 (which is functionally identical and uses the same binary
44 configuration format).
46 The configuration space used to control these resources consists of
47 a collection of independent octets arranged in a sparse 24-bit
48 address space. This document correlates those bits with the
49 resources described in the Datasheet.
51 The process of configuring the device consists of writing these
52 octets into the configuration memory. Once the desired
53 configuration octets are known, the procedures for loading them into
54 configuration memory are well documented in Atmel Documents 1009 and
57 Each data octet "D" has a 24-bit address, divided into three address
58 octets "X", "Y", and "Z". In general, the X and Y address octets
59 are related to the physical position of the resource, while the Z
60 octet is related to the type of resource being addressed.
64 We will use the notation A->B to indicate that setting the
65 corresponding configuration bit high causes source A to drive wire
66 B, and the notation A<>B to indicate that a pass gate between A and
67 B is enabled. The notation ~A or ~A->B indicates a configuration
68 bit controlling A or causing A to drive B is *active low*
71 We will use the following terms to describe routing resources.
72 They vary slightly from Atmel's documentation, but are less
75 X, Y, W, Z The cell's inputs
76 XO, YO The X and Y outputs from the cell (to its neighbors)
77 N, S, E, W Orthogonal lines: connections to neighboring cells
78 NE,SE,NW,SW Diagonal lines: connections to neighboring cells
79 S0..S4 Quad lines: four-cell long routing lines
80 H0..H4 Horizontal quad lines
81 V0..V4 Vertical quad lines
82 L0..L4 Switchbox ports: the wires joining FB,H0..H4,V0..V4,X,Y,Z,W
83 G0a..G4b Global lines: eight-cell long routing lines, in two sets (a+b)
84 FB The cell's internal feedback line
85 R The cell's internal register
86 C The cell's "center" output; can drive the X or Y outputs
87 ZM The "Z-mux"; the mux which drives the cell's register input
88 WM The "W-mux"; the mux which drives the third input to the LUTs
89 XL, YL The output of the X,Y-LUTs
90 IA The "internal and" gate (W & Z)
95 Although the exact interpretation of the X and Y octets depends on
96 the resource type (Z octet), in most cases the X and Y octets are
97 the cartesian coordinates of the logic cell nearest to the desired
98 resource (0,0 is the lower-left hand logic cell). This section
99 describes the significance of the Z and D octets for such resources.
102 - The most significant four bits of the Z octet are 0000 for these bits
103 - If WZ->WM and FB->WM are both low, then W->WM.
104 - If ZM->R and YL->R are both low, then the XL->R
105 - The ZM->C and ZM->FB bits are used to bypass the register (when high).
106 - ~SET bit controls the set/reset behavior of the register; 0=set, 1=reset

139 Clocking, reset, and inter-sector repeaters are resources which are
140 not specific to a particular cell. As such, their X,Y addressing is
141 slightly different. These resources are addressed by the cartesian
142 coordinates of the cell above or to the right of the resource, with
143 an additional twist: for resources in vertical channels, the
144 X-coordinate is shifted right by two bits (divided by four); for
145 resources in horizontal channels, the Y-coordinate is shifted right
146 by two bits (divided by four).
148 The most significant three bits of the Z-octet for a sector resource
149 are set to 001; the next bit (fourth most significant) is set to 0
150 for horizontal channels and 1 for vertical channels.
152 One sector wire and one global wire enter each side of each
153 repeater, for a total of four connections. Each connection has an
154 associated four-bit code which indicates if that connection is
155 driven by the repeater, and if so, which connection to the repeater
158 000 - driver disabled
159 100 - source is global wire on the other side of the repeater
160 010 - source is sector wire on the other side of the repeater
161 001 - source is other connection on the same side of the repeater
163 Example: a code of 001 for the left-hand side sector wire driver
164 means that the source of the driver should be the left hand side
165 global wire. A code of 010 for the top sector wire driver means that
166 the source of the driver should be the bottom sector wire.
171 CC+ = sector clock of the sector below this one
172 InvSC = invert the clock source (CC or S4) before driving SC

201 Although block memories are shown in the lower right hand corner of
202 each sector in the Atmel Datasheets, they are conceptually addressed
203 by the cartesian coordinate of the cell in the lower *left* hand
204 corner of the sector. Furthermore, both coordinates are shifted
205 right two bits (divided by four).
207 The significance of the "D" octet for a given block memory depends
208 on its position; if it falls in an odd sector-column (4-7, 12-15,
209 etc), use the first chart; otherwise, use the second chart.
211 USECLK = the memory is synchronous
212 ENABLE = the memory is enabled
213 DUAL = enable both ports on a dual-ported memory
