As I think the previous posters have alluded to, designing your own fifo using the blkrams is pretty straight forward. The reason is that the blkrams are synchronous dual port memories ... pretty easy to implement fifo structures. Keep a separate word_depth_counter .... increment on writes ... decrement on reads ... leave alone on cycles with both occurring. Within the directory path /xilinx/doc/usenglish/books/docs is the document lib.pdf. Under the component for RAMB16_SN_SM is a pretty good description of the blkrams. Anyway ... good luck. -- Regards, John Retta Owner and Designer Retta Technical Consulting Inc.

After exchanging side emails with the OP, this is a roughly a giga- pixel plus 3D medical imaging problem. Unfortunately, the loop above is only one of a half dozen intermediate loops that must be calculated per dataset for the users application. The OPs existing algorithm requires processing the data in one particular loop order, and then different loop orders to scale, smooth and extract features from the raw 3D pixel data. Some of the OPs loops can be combined with minor changes in loop order that should be transparent, others clearly can not ... requiring the complete processing of one pass, before the next can begin. The different loop orders require different "relatively random" accesses to the memory array holding the data, forcing the application to be dependent on up to a half dozen memory read cycles per write cycle (depending on memory width and ability to cache in the FPGA). This requirement comes from the 3D image algorithm processing each pixel based on each of the nearby pixels in the 3D space ... F(x,y,x) + F(x+1,y,z) + F(x,y+1,z) + F(x,y,z+1) + ... + etc some half dozen or so memory references per resulting pixel, per pass. The algorithm specification from their sponsor is in MatLab, with implied iteration and function references in the inner loop, so some of these operations are significantly more complex than the OPs 3 variable MAC loop above. So the limiting performance of this application is the sum of some significant memory latencies, plus FP multply/square/divide/sqrt (plus a few trig) operation latencies, constrained by some hard serializations in the data sequencing. The problem probably is solvable in FPGAs with some significant risks, and is an excellent fit for SIMD/MIMD cpu architectures, such as a GPU/CELL application, with multiple independent memory arrays to obtain the needed memory bandwidth. The OP would like to do this with an off the shelf FPGA board/system with a very small budget (about 3 months of a senior designers burdened salary at western labor rates), including hardware. In a traditional commercial setting the available budget would cover neither the labor or the hardware prototype, so the students involved are looking for a solution inside this tiny budget using student labor rates and off the shelf hardware. The project sponsor will get a super bargain if these kids can pull it off. Not impossible, but certainly an interesting tough nut, and a dream real life research project for the kids either way.Article: 121579

No problem: the compiler knows the value of the constants in "k" or "i", and uses the very basic "constant folding" optimisation, so it never needs to load "k" or "i" with the initial values. The other post suggested turning the optimisations off; or it may be worth declaring "i" or "k" to be "volatile" to force the to use them (in case they were actually registers in hardware devices) - BrianArticle: 121584

Hi, I think it would be hard to find an ARM core that isn't harvard architecture. Harvard architecture means that the pathways from the CPU are seperate for instruction and data. It doesn't mean that the actual memory needs to be two seperate memories. In fact the common usage is that the memory is the same. What Austin was referring to was that Altera went from a different architecture/ISA when they moved from NIOS-I to NIOS-II. All programs needed to be recompiled for NIOS-II and assembler code had to manually be translated to NIOS-II assembler instructions. MicroBlaze has stayed with the same ISA and all new features are optional. You can take object-code from the first version of MicroBlaze and run it the latest version (and in the future versions).

Hi Folks, have the following problem and couldn't found out yet how to solve it: I have a clock input CLK_A and a DCM. I use CLKO and CLKFX outputs of DCM. CLKFX is configured for 4X CLK_A. I define period constraint on CLK_A input port. And I see this constraint will be translated to both outputs CLK0 and CLKFX respectively. But timing analyzer does not analyze CLKFX output and its fanout logic. It just shows something like: " 0 items analyzed, 0 timing errors". I thought it should be enough to specify input clock frequency with TNM_NET and so on like: NET "CLK_A" TNM_NET = "CLK_A"; TIMESPEC "TS_CLK_A" = PERIOD "TN_CLK_A" xx ns; Any hint is appreciated. Thanx MetinArticle: 121589

It can be confusing. If your real clock is going to be 80MHz, create a variable T_system_clock = 1/80e6 in your Matlab workspace. Use this variable in your System Generator token. Now make sure that the clock rates in your system are all integer multiples of this clock. For example, if your FIR input runs at 100kHz, set the sample period of the filter = (1/100e3)/T_system_clock. This will be an integer multiple of the system clock. Now in the Simulink 'Simulation Stop Time' you put N*T_system_clock where N is the number of clock cycles which you want to run the simulation for. The times shown in a scope window for example will match the actual time related to the 80MHz clock in hardware. Basically the clock that is specified in the System Generator token must be equal to the fastest clock in your system, the slower clocks will all be generated with CE's by System Generator and you will not get errors about clocks that are not integer clock cycles of the system clock. One more thing, use the FIR Compiler and not the MAC FIR as it will be replaced by the FIR Compiler. Hope this helpsArticle: 121591

I presume their IP should plug and play as advertised, but as soon as you design some custom logic of your own it's a different ball game. If you get timing/routing/constraint problems you're going to have to dig into the Altera/Xilinx tools that are running in the background. IMHO. Nial.Article: 121599
Hi, my setup is as follows: 1) DSP ADSP-21065L 2) Xilinx xc3s250 3) Intel JS2BF320J3D Flash I am able to have the DSP load itself from flash but after it's done loading, I would like the DSP to tell the FPGA to load itself from the same flash. They will be sharing address and data lines and cannot operate at the same time. I am wondering if there is a way for the DSP to tell the FPGA to load itself from Flash. Is there a special pin on the FPGA for that. Thanks. Amish
