USRP B210 Floating Wire Connections in the RTL Schematic

Hello everyone,

I synthesized and mapped the B210 FPGA code provided in
https://github.com/EttusResearch/fpga. However, there are some unwired,
floating wires in the RTL schematic, I attached a screen shot of it.

Another abnormality in the RTL schematic is in b200_core module. Only two
of the input wires are not connected and those are rx0 and rx1 (Screen shot
is attached). Are not those are the main output of the ADC? If not, where
is the main output of the ADC?

Looking forward your answers,
Altug Kaya

Hi Altug,

Have you tried tracing those nets in the Verilog source code?

Dear Jonathon Pendlum,

Thank you for your advice. I traced the top module in order to check if
there is a floating wire or not and I realized that there is no floating or
unconnected wire. The problem stems from the RTL schematic. RTL is not a
reliable way to observe module connections. I switched to Technology
Schematic by choosing keep_hierarchy as soft in order to observe at least
some modules. Then, I select b200_io and b200_core and realized that
outputs of b200_io, namely rx_i0 and rx_q0, are connected to the input of
the b200_core, namely rx_0.

Thank you,
Altug
