Is there a way to start Foundation timing simulator without user interaction? I'd like to start a simulation with netlist and script file. Simulation data is saved by commands in the script file. After simulation I'd like the simulator application to quit automatically. From my point of view this should be done by a script command ("exit" just exits the script but not the simulator) or by a command line parameter. I did't find a documentation to the command parameters of "simul.exe". Thank you, MichaelArticle: 30501

Normally, the inferred flip-flops will initialize to zero. For an inferred flip-flop, you can make it initialize to '1' by putting an explicit global reset net in the design and force the signal to a '1' when global reset is '1'. Connect that global reset net to the ROC component I mentioned previously. If you instantiate flip-flop primitives from the Unisim library, there is an INIT generic on the element to initialize it as set or reset for simulation. You also have to add an INIT= attribute to get that to pass through to the bitstream if the init value is not the default for that component.

In the SchematicEntry it's called Q[7:0], in ABEL it's [Q7..Q0], in the *.abv test vectors it's Q_7_, Q_6_, Q_5_, Q_4_, Q_3_, Q_2_, Q_1_, Q_0_ (like in the Post-Fit Pinouts). This works for FunctionalSimulation but not for TimingSimulation. WARNING 26447: In reading command, signal Q_7_ does not exist; signal in command is ignored. 2) In Fuctional Simulation I couldn't look at some internal nodes that I need for debugging. Attribute 'keep=yes' in the Schematic doesn't seem to help with this. 3) How do I create a delayed clock signal in ABEL. Hints concerning those 3 questions would be greatly appreciated. -- many thanx Richard KnispelArticle: 30505
Greetings, Our group project is presently working on an ATMEL/Xilinx FGPA-based voice synthesis system based on Klatt Synthesis software. A requirement is to convert a bit-serial result from LSB order to MSB order for input to a Delta-Sigma DAC. Because the selected target is a XC4005 device, resource utilization is critical. In order to meet our resource budget and facilitate a wide option based, I am asking anyone with experience with this task for their input. I have found the Xilinx FD-based Shift Register, however, the LSB-to-MSB functionality is a subset of this register's abilities and will break the resource budget. Thank you in advance for your advice. I look forward to your responses. Kind Regards, Michael Wirtzfeld.Article: 30506
How can I change the contents of a block ROM or select ROM in the bitstream without recompiling the code. I'd like to embed a small micro + program memory in an FPGA and I don't want to have to go through the compile/place/route process just to change some memory initializations. TIA, UrbArticle: 30507
If you generate the ROM as a black box, then perhaps you could simply re-generate it, and use a previous version as a guide for the new placement. You'd still be running through a significant part of the process, but it should be very fast given that the design would be virtually unchanged. From a Xilinx perspective, that would mean running Coregen to create a new EDN file, which will be converted to an NGO and merged by ngdbuild. Then, to specify the previous NCD as a guide for par. I haven't actually tried this, it's just a suggestion.

I've heard mentioned that the 3.3 version of JTAG programmer will, at long last, support Virtex readback through the JTAG port. Does anyone know if this is correct ? Have they tried it ? Unfortunately the WebPack version seems stuck at 3.2 so I can't download & try it out myself.Article: 30509
Use the dual port CLB RAM capability and 4 bit counters to make a variable length delay queue. After the msb of the LSB first sequence goes in, the read delay tap is advanced by 2 on each clock. One Dual port CLB ram + 2 4 bit counters will handle up to 8 bit data (5 CLBs).

I don't use the Quartus features,only the bash window. I have several versions of the nios-build script to automatically build a project, with all the required flags. I recommend using NIOS the command line way because one day you will have to get somebody to support the software and you don't want to supply Quartus II to all your developers as well.

Hi, dear I'm a novice in Xilinx Vertex-e device. I'd like to know how to use clock generator in Vertex-e? In XC4000XL, I could use OSC4 module in library in order to generate clock inside the device. I looked through the data book, but I could not find out the usage of clock generator. I only could find about CLKDLL, but I think CLKIN signal should be necessary to generate clock with CLKDLL. Is it right? I hope your answer. ThanksArticle: 30524
I am trying to duplicate an existing chip using VHDL. My target platform is a Xilinx Coldfire CPLD, but the design just doesn't want to fit no matter how I tweak it. It consists of: Two 16-bit down counters One 8-bit serial I/O register Two 8-bit tristateable I/O ports One interrupt register Some handshaking logic The actual chip's design includes a Time-Of-Day clock in BCD format, but I haven't put that in yet. Is it realistic to expect all of this to fit in a CPLD, or should I change my target to an FPGA? -- ::::: Dave Ross / Dr. Watson "Yesterday's technology :: === watson@enteract.com today...for a better :: === tomorrow!" ::::: http://www.enteract.com/~watson
