ADC support for GW5A-25 chips has been added.
The inputs of this primitive are fixed and do not require routing,
although they can be switched dynamically.

bus0 and bus1 ADC buses.

In the GW5A series, the primitive SemiDual Port BSRAM cannot function
when the width of any of the ports is 32/36 bits - it is necessary to
divide one block into two identical ones, each of which will be
responsible for 16 bits.
Here, we perform such a division and, in addition, ensure that the new
cells resulting from the division undergo the same packing procedure as
the original ones.
Naturally, with some reservations (the AUX attribute is responsible for
this) - in the case of SP, when service elements are added, it makes
sense to do this immediately for 32-bit SP and only then divide.
Also, SDPs are currently being corrected for cases where both ports are
‘problematic’, but it may happen that one port is 32 and the other is,
say, 1/2/4/8/16. This has been left for the future.

PLLA-type PLLs are implemented, which are used in GW5A-25A chips.
These are six powerful PLLs, each of which can generate seven
independent frequencies.
Since these devices have an unusual configuration—their fuse bits are
located outside the main grid and therefore their Bels do not have
specific “correct” coordinates—the extra bel functions mechanism is used
to describe them. But all the complexity falls on the apicula part.

A programmable on-chip crystal oscillator has been implemented for the
GW5A series.
A critical innovation in this series was the change in the nature of the
OSC output pin—it now belongs to the clock wires, and therefore the
routes must be made with a special global router, as there is no
possibility of using routing through general-purpose PIPs.
At the same time, we are transferring the outputs of all previous
generations of OSC to potential clock wires. At the moment, this will
not affect the way they are routed - they will still end up as segments
as before, but in the future we may optimize the mechanism.

* Gowin. Optimize ALU wiring
Interestingly, although VCC and GND sources are present in each cell,
they cannot be connected directly to all LUT inputs. Instead, additional
PIPs are used.
A very simple ALU optimization: once we detect that one of the inputs is
a constant, we modify the main LUT that describes the ALU function so
that this primitive input is ignored, and then disconnect it from the
network, freeing up the PIP.
For example (unrealistic, since a real ALU LUT has a larger size and
service bits in the middle, etc.), the addition function of A and B when
A = 1 is converted from the general case (A isn't a constant and B isn't a
constant) to a special case:
0110 -> 0011
The renaming of ALU ports for ADD and SUB modes has also been
removed—this has already been done in the chip database as a fixed
change to the ALU LUT.

The LUTRAM mode is added to all supported chips at once.
This is essentially an alias for LUT4, so the packaging is also moved
before searching for LUT-DFF pairs for possible optimization.
In addition to being the only LUTRAM mode in the GW5A series, the
addition of ROM16 eliminates the need to manually rename the primitive
and its pins when working with files generated by Gowin IDE - a similar
situation occurred with INV, which is essentially LUT1.

The ALUs in the GW5A series have undergone changes compared to previous
chips.
The most significant change is the appearance of an input MUX for
carry — it is now possible to switch between VCC, GND, and COUT of the
previous ALU, as well as generate carry in logic.
The granularity of resource allocation for ALUs has also changed — it is
now possible to use each half of a slice independently for ALUs.
Not all new features are reflected in this commit:
- since there is one CIN MUX for every six ALUs and it only works for
ALUs with index 0, the new granularity is not very useful: the head of
the chain can only be placed in the zero ALU. It is possible to gain one
LUT by allocating ALUs in odd numbers, but we will leave that for the
future.
- using CIN MUX to generate carry in logic is interesting, but we have
not yet been able to get the vendor IDE to generate such a
configuration to figure out which wires are used, so for now we are
leaving the old behavior in logic with the allocation of a specialized
head ALU.

Prior to the 5A series, pin functions (GPIO/SSPI/JTAG/DONE/etc) were
switched using fuses. This was done during the binary image formation
stage for loading into the FPGA using the command line keys of the
gowin_pack program.
The 5A series features certain ports that connect to VCC or GND
depending on whether the pin is used as SSPI or GPIO, for example. This
mechanism exists in parallel with fuses, but it is not described
anywhere, nor is there a corresponding primitive.
To generate working images, we have no choice but to simulate this thing
at the nextpnr stage, since VCC/GND routing is required.
For now, two flags are added, responsible for the SSPI and I2C pin
functions.

DLLDLY is the clock delay primitive that adjust the input clock
according to the DLLSTEP signal and outputs the delayed clock.
These primitives are associated with clock pins and are "tapped" between
the output of this IBUF and the clock networks, leaving the possibility
to connect to the original unshifted signal as well, although the latter
is not very practical because it is no longer possible to use fast

Gowin chips have an interesting mechanism - wires that run vertically
through several rows (at least 10) in each column of the chip. In each
row a particular wire has branches to the left and right, covering on
average 4 neighboring cells in the row. For lack of a better term, I
further call such a wire a segment.
So a segment can provide a direct connection in a local rectangle. There
are no special restrictions on the sinks, so segment networks can be
used for ClockEnable, LocalSetReset, as well as for LUT and DFF inputs.
The sources are not so simple - the sources can be the upper or lower
end of the segment, which in theory can lead to unfortunate consequences
if the signal is applied from both ends.
The matter is complicated by the fact that there are default
connections, i.e. in the absence of any set fuse the segment input is
still connected to something (VCC for example) and to disable the unused
end of the segment you need to set a special combination of fuses.
Taking into account which end of which segment is used is one of the
tasks of this router. In addition, segment ends can physically coincide
with PLL, DSP and BSRAM inputs, which can also lead to unexpected
effects. Some of these things are tracked when generating the base, some
in this router, some when packing in gowin_pack.

* Gowin. Add the ability to place registers in IOB
IO blocks have registers: for input, for output and for OutputEnable
signal - IREG, OREG and TREG respectively.
Each of the registers has one implicit non-switched wire, which one
depends on the type of register (IREG has a Q wire, OREG has a D wire).
Although the registers can be activated independently of each other they
share the CLK, ClockEnable and LocalSetReset wires and this places
restrictions on the possible combinations of register types in a single
IO.
Register placement in IO blocks is enabled by specifying the command
line keys --vopt ireg_in_iob, --vopt oreg_in_iob, or --vopt ioreg_in_iob.
It should be noted that specifying these keys leads to attempts to place
registers in IO blocks, but no errors are generated in case of failure.

DQCE and DCS primitives are added.
DQCE allows the internal logic to enable or disable the clock network in

clock is no longer toggled, thus reducing the total power consumtion of
the device.
DCS allows you to select one of four sources for two clock wires (6 and 7).
Wires 6 and 7 have not been used up to this point.
Since "hardware" primitives operate strictly in their own quadrants,
user-specified primitives are converted into one or more "hardware"
primitives as needed.
Also:
- minor edits to make the most of helper functions like connectPorts()
- when creating bases, the corresponding constants are assigned to the
VCC and GND wires, but for now huge nodes are used because, for an
unknown reason, the constants mechanism makes large examples
inoperable. So for now we remain on the nodes.

The OCE signal in the SP(X)9B primitive is intended to control the
built-in output register. The documentation states that this port is
invalid when READ_MODE=0 is used. However, it has been experimentally
established that you cannot simply apply VCC or GND to it and forget it
- the discrepancy between the signal on this port and the signal on the
CE port leads to both skipping data reading and unnecessary reading
after CE has switched to 0.
Here we force these ports to be connected to the network, except in the
case where the user controls the OCE signal using non-constant signals.
Also:
* All PIPs for clock spines are made inaccessible to the common router
- in general, using these routes for signals that have not been
