Example Design Data Files - 1.0 English

The example design reads the reference input and output data from a number of files with the extension .dat. These files are stored in the imports subdirectory of the example design project directory. Each file contains one complex data sample (I + Q) per line, in both hexadecimal fixed-point and decimal notations. The decimal data is ignored by the example design test bench.

An example of the input data format is shown in the following table. The hexadecimal samples are applied directly to the TDATA input bus of the RFSoC DFE FFT IP in the design. The header row in the table is for explanatory purposes only and does not form part of the input file. The file format is not sensitive to case or whitespace, except that there must be a newline after each sample.

An example of the output data format is shown below. Note that the hexadecimal data in the file is sign-extended to 32-bits. The MSBs of the data are ignored for the purposes of comparison with the core output.
