Some people get very > hostile if you post in the wrong group. Most just ignore you. This particular question directly relates to synthesis - so I think it made it to the proper group. As for the question itself, you need to look at the blocks in the XST documentation, and code a structure that looks like it. Remember, VHDL & Verilog are modelling languages. You really need to know the characteristics of the hardware block you are targeting in order to code that will infer it. For example, most modern FPGA's have synchronous block RAM's, so you must infer registration on the read data, or you will end up with a bunch of FF's. Some BRAM's require registered addresses, etc. For example, the multiplier unit in a Spartan 3e has either two 9-bit inputs and a 18-bit output, or two 18-bit inputs, and a 36-bit output. You can munge around a bit with the data widths, but this is essentially the structures. They have a single clock with no reset or clock enable. In VHDL, the code to infer this would be: Mult: process( Clock ) begin if( rising_edge(Clock) )then Mult_Result <= Mult_In_A * Mult_In_B; end if; end process; Note the lack of an asynchronous reset, or clock enable. If you add either of these elements, you will end up with extra hardware. About the only thing I haven't found a good way to model purely in HDL are large ROM's, but it is usually simpler to just use a MIF file with a core gen / megawizard created IP core. -SethArticle: 105729

You should observe the structures they are creating and see how they apply to your problem, although you can use them verbatim if you want. The synthesizer doesn't require the same literal text, it's just going to look for patterns (eg an asynchronous, two-port RAM) and figure out how to adapt it to the FPGA's hardware. The XST doc will tell you what sorts of RAM you can get with various combinations of ports, clocking, synchronous vs asynchronous access, etc. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <ben@ben.com> http://www.ben.com/Article: 105730
Hi Mikhail, OK. I have generated the programming file and downloaded to the FPGA. I feed a pure sine wave into an ADC on board, which connect to the input of the filters ( FIR and MAC). The output of the filters are connected to two DAC on board seperately so we can compare the output waveform at the same time. Therefore the output of the filters should be a sine wave too if the it is within the passband frequency range. But the signal coming out from MAC is not a continuouse function. It has some sort of sine function feature, but at certain point in time, it looks like the sign of the signal is changed. The output of the FIR filter is completely fine. That's where it puzzles me. The two filters are running in the exactly the same environment. It is not a clipping problem. I have tried to reduced the input signal amplitude and that didn't solve the problem. I haven't really try to simulate it yet. The whole project has too many inputs. It is not really an easy job to simulate the entire module.

You don't need to simulate the whole thing. Just take the filter, make a simple test bench that would apply necessary clock(s) and a test tone. Good simulators such as Active HDL can show buses as waveform, so you will immediately see if the thing works. In fact, I believe all you really need to see is the output ready signal being generated at the proper decimated rate... /MikhailArticle: 105733
Yep, that is pretty much what I would have written. I think this would be the simplest and clearest description of the circuit that is desired. But after pushing it around a bit, I did come up with an always statement (shown later in this thread) that was about the same amount of code and could be said to be pretty much as clear as your code. At that point it just becomes a matter of preference. Actually, I just looked a bit harder at your code and I don't understand the notation mask_wr <= #1 mask_wr_in; Without looking in one of my Verilog books, what is the "#1" for? luiguo wrote: > Coding style like this? > > wire mask_wr_in = (adr[2:1] == MASK) & wr; > wire clear_wr_in = (adr[2:1] == CLEAR) & wr; > > always @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n) > if(~rst_n) begin > mask_wr <= #1 1'b0; > clear_wr<= #1 1'b0; > end > else begin > mask_wr <= #1 mask_wr_in; > clear_wr <= #1 clear_wr_in; > end > > At Fri, 28 Jul 2006 16:34:46 -0700,rickman wrote: > > > RobJ wrote: > >> "rickman" <spamgoeshere4@yahoo.com> wrote in message > >> news:1154099086.215982.7080@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... > >> > While reviewing the code that the FPGA group has produced, I saw > >> > something that looks bad.

Here is my function, which does some custom-made multipliers/division. NCVerilog simulations for RTL so far shows no problem but design compiler complains of this warning.

I'm just guessing, but it may be complaining about the fact that if multpl_sel takes on any values other 1 or 6 at runtime, result[] will not get set. -- RonArticle: 105737

Hello experts and newsgroup, I'm planning a new embedded design. The first MicroBlaze handles the communication to external Interfaces and receives DATA (approx. 3MB) which have to be stored in some kind of external memory. These DATA must be accessed by a second MicroBlaze for multiple calculations. Does Xilinx provide such a multiple access on external memory ? Which kind of Memory can you suggest ?

Hello Freinds. I am a newcomer to the field of programmable logic devices and I am currently trying to teach myself VHDL. I hope to learn some VHDL before the next semester starts. My sole purpose as of now is not to actually synthesise stuff but just to simulate the various designs that I may try to create. I am using the xilinx ISE webpack 8.2 on a windows XP machine.

Hi, The information might not be useful but this may give you clue what’s going wrong...!! I experienced a problem with Flash Programmer present under Xilinx EDK. When I tried to program SREC through it, the Flash Programmer programs the FLASH on ML403 with SREC, but without parsing..!!!. If I compare the HEX view of my SREC file and the Flash Memory, they are same (something starting like S31…….) This is wrong..!! The flash programmer should parse the SREC file and program the instructions into the FLASH memory. The workaround is that you should create a BINARY image of your ELF and program it into FLASH using EDK Flash Programmer. You may need to explore GCC options if the sections of your ELF are scattered. In order to boot your software from FLASH, you need to modify your bootloader application, to make jump from BRAM to FLASH memory. - MateenArticle: 105749
New TechiTip added to our website for a 5p (GBP) or 10c (US) FPGA based charge pump power supply. You will find it here http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/techitips/Previous_TechiTips/5p_charge_pump.html. It's good for a bus switch power supply and for using N-Channel FETs in providing an above rail gate voltage application. We are using this circuit in the new board Tarfessock1 so you will all get to see the end results. It has a number of applications beyond this Techitip and we may do some follow ups if there is enough interest. John Adair Enterpoint Ltd. - Some To Be Home of Tarfessock1.
