owr_pkg: Verification Plan

1. Overview

The functions of the package are checked against the values and the example of the standard (Figure 5-15), the pulse crossing with two asynchronous clocks, and the far-end model in a self test: two model instances connected to each other.

2. Test configuration

Testbench Harness DUT and environment
owr_pkg_tb owr_pkg_th owr_cc_pulse (100 MHz to 71.4 MHz), two owr_tb_ds_bfm connected to each other
owr_cc_pulse_tb none owr_cc_pulse with two pulse bits; a monitor counts the output pulses per bit and checks that each lasts one cycle. Three VUnit configurations: input clock faster (4 ns / 10 ns), output clock faster (10 ns / 4 ns), nearly equal (10 ns / 12 ns)

Simulator: GHDL.

3. Test cases

Test ID Description Requirements
test_functions (TC-PKG-01) Timer conversions, initial divider for 100, 125 and 200 MHz, parity of the example of ECSS Figure 5-15 (0x5C followed by a Null), model encoding of the same sequence PKG-01, PKG-02, PKG-04
test_cc_pulse (TC-PKG-02) Ten pulse patterns on two pulses: every pulse arrives once, output pulses last one cycle PKG-03
test_single_pulses (TC-PKG-04) 200 random pulses on bit 0, bit 1 or both, random spacing between one and two minimum spacings: one single-cycle output pulse per input pulse, within the latency PKG-03
test_min_spacing (TC-PKG-05) 100 pulses on both bits at exactly the minimum spacing: no pulse lost PKG-03
test_pending (TC-PKG-06) Two pulses in consecutive cycles, a pulse during a transfer, five consecutive pulses: two, two and two output pulses (pending pulse sent, further pulses merged) PKG-03
test_reset (TC-PKG-07) Reset of both sides while idle, of the input side and of the output side during a transfer, with a pending pulse, and a pulse while the input side is in reset: no output pulse from a reset, at most one for a pulse in flight, none for a dropped pulse; pulses after the resets are transferred PKG-03
test_ds_model (TC-PKG-03) First transition on the strobe line, 700 characters of all kinds decoded in order, no simultaneous transition, parity error, ESC error and simultaneous transition counted, controlled reset and restart PKG-04
