GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.


This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.

0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
General Public License.

"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
of using an interface provided by the Library.

A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
Version".

The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
version:

a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or

b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
this License applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.

b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
document.

4. Combined Works.

You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.

b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
document.

c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.

d) Do one of the following:

0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
Corresponding Source.

1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
Version.

e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
for conveying Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.

You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
choice, if you do both of the following:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
conveyed under the terms of this License.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
Library.

# SatCat5 Introduction

![SatCat5 Logo](doc/images/satcat5.svg)

SatCat5 is FPGA software that implements a low-power, mixed-media Ethernet switch. It is functionally equivalent to commercially available, unmanaged Ethernet switches for home use, except that it also supports lower-speed connections to the same network using SPI or UART. These lower-rate data links, (commonly used in simple, low-cost, low-power microcontrollers) allow nearly any device to participate in the same local communication network, regardless of its capability level.

Like any Ethernet switch, this one has multiple ports; each port is a point-to-point link from the switch to a network device, which could be a PC, a microcontroller, or even another switch. Power draw required for the switch itself is well under 1 watt.

# Switch Capabilities

![Example network with microcontrollers and other nodes](doc/images/example_network.svg)

A major goal of the SatCat5 project is to support a variety of endpoints, from simple microcontrollers to a full-fledged PC, all connected to the same Ethernet network.

A complete listing of supported interfaces is [available here](doc/INTERFACES.md). The list includes the usual 10/100/1000 Mbps "Media Independent Interfaces" (RMII, RGMII, SGMII) as well as media and physical-layer options that aren't usually used with Ethernet (SPI, UART). The latter options are typically lower speed (1-10 Mbps), but use physical layer protocols that are more amenable to use with simple microcontrollers. All interfaces transmit and receive standard Ethernet Frames.

Detailed version history is available in the [changelog](doc/CHANGELOG.md).

More information is available in the [Frequently Asked Questions](doc/FAQ.md).

# What Is Provided

This project is effectively a set of building blocks, ready to be used to build your own custom Ethernet switch. The switch can be optimized to your needs, tailored to your preferred platform, port count, interface types, etc.

However, we do include a reference design that showcases many of the available features. The reference design is for a [prototype](doc/images/prototype.jpg) that we built to develop, test, and demonstrate the SatCat5 switch. It is intended to run on an off-the-shelf FPGA development board that is attached to a [custom PCB](test/proto_pcb). The custom PCB includes Ethernet transceivers, PMOD connectors, and other I/O. The current version has been tested with Xilinx 7-series FPGAs. Support for other FPGA platforms is a future goal.

The main expected users of this project are cubesat and smallsat developers. By encouraging everyone to use this technology, we create a mutually-compatible ecosystem that will make it easier to develop new small-satellite payloads, and simultaneously make it easier to integrate those payloads into vehicles.

However, we think the same technology might be useful to other embedded systems, including Internet-of-Things systems that want to integrate microcontrollers onto a full-featured LAN.

# Getting Started

If you'd like to build the example design, you'll need the [Vivado Design Suite](https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado.html). We've tested with version 2015.4 and 2016.3, but it should work as-is with most other versions. Once it's installed, simply run the "build_all.sh" script in the root folder. (Or follow the equivalent steps under Windows.)

If you'd like to build your own design, create a new top-level VHDL file and add the following:

* Any number of port_xx blocks. (e.g., port_spi, port_uart, port_rgmii, etc.)
* At least one switch_core block.
* One is always functionally adequate.
* Sometimes you can save memory, power, and other resources if you use two.
* One switch_aux block. This provides error-reporting, status LEDs, and other niceties.
* Clock generation. Check the documentation for selected port type(s) to see what's needed.

More information is available in the [Frequently Asked Questions](doc/FAQ.md).

# Folder Structure

* doc: Documentation and associated images.
* project: Project files for building the design or running simulations
* modelsim_10.0a: Project files for running VHDL simulations in ModelSim. (Tested with version 10.0a.)
* vivado_2015.4: Project files for building or simulating the design on Xilinx FPGAs. (Tested with Vivado version 2015.4.)
* sim: Simulation and verification of the VHDL design.
* matlab: MATLAB/Octave scripts used to generate certain lookup tables.
* test: Test data for various unit-test simulations.
* vhdl: VHDL unit tests for individual functional blocks.
* src: Source code for the core SatCat5 design
* vhdl/common: VHDL implementation of functional blocks. (Common / all platforms)
* vhdl/xilinx: VHDL implementation of functional blocks. (Xilinx-specific, Including AC701 top-level files.)
* test: Additional testing, including the prototype reference design.
* proto_pcb: PCB design files for the prototype reference design.
* python: A demo application that implements chatroom functions using raw Ethernet frames.

# Style Guidelines

* All VHDL functional blocks MUST include an automated unit test:
* Test failures are indicated using "report" or "assert" statements with severity of "error" or higher.
* A comment at the top of the file should indicate the runtime required to complete the test.
* Add your unit test to the [Jenkins shell script](sim/vhdl/xsim_run.sh).
* Names such as "Tx" and "Rx" should usually refer to the switch FPGA context. (i.e., "Tx" should be an FPGA output.)
* Indent size four spaces, spaces only (no tab characters),
* No trailing spaces at end of line.
* All reset signals indicate polarity (_p = Active High, _n = Active Low).
