I am sorry but with this level of understanding of basic electricity you shouldn't be allowed close to a soldering iron. No amount of postings here will help you if you don't know what makes a current flow. You need to take a big step back and learn the basic physics first, otherwise change the job. /MikhailArticle: 140151

Clearly, a Verilog simulator can run your Verilog logic. Are you asking if it is possible for a Verilog simulator to talk to external h/w such as a camera or LEDs? Well, it's just software, so anything is possible, especially with PLI or VPI code. But remember, a simulator will run MUCH slower than an FPGA, so it could take minutes or hours to process each facial image. John ProvidenzaArticle: 140152

A free simulator is good enough to verify this controller. The only timing requirement inside a synch design is Fmax. Luts and flops are cheap. -- Mike TreselerArticle: 140153

More specifically, writing it in a compiled language such as C will be much faster than simulating verilog. The usual reason for doing it in an FGPA is that the software version isn't fast enough. -- glenArticle: 140155
Hi all, Just a wild though: I wonder if the FPGA is still "partial functioning" if one of the ground pin on the BGA is not connected ? The device is the Spartan-3 1000 package = FG676 Thanks,Article: 140156
My guess is that depending somewhat on which particular ground ball it is not soldered, the chip is probably mostly functional, but the signal integrity on the IOs in close proximity to this ball might be affected especially for faster IO standards. /Mikhail "Mawa_fugo" <ccon67@netscape.net> wrote in message news:8b36d46b-9bbd-498e-b1ed-574cbc98b971@s1g2000prd.googlegroups.com... > Hi all, > > Just a wild though: I wonder if the FPGA is still "partial > functioning" if one of the ground pin on the BGA is not connected ? > > The device is the Spartan-3 1000 package = FG676 > > Thanks, >Article: 140157

But no matter anymore. I moved onto the half width (byte) data bus interface version got 49MHz estimate (nibzC.vhd) This avoids many of the propergation problems as each instruction takes 4 cycles. Which a over 10 MIPS will be fine. A big endian design which loads the little end first... The code is so simple...at 394 LEs, and highly orthogonal instruction decode and execution. The delayed write of the high byte consumes quite a few gates, but it does prevent the need for multiphasing the clock as the instruction fetch interleaves the two written bytes, so RW SRAM line has no need to be async to get the two rising edges. cheers jacko http://nibz.googlecode.comArticle: 140159

What would that workflow look like? Seems to me anything useful would involve a license violation of some sort.

In theorem, the pins connects to the FastConnect switch matrix. I have disabled in the properties of the fitter the using of global clocks. But the fitter still sends the a warning, that these signals are designated to global clock. Anyway, in the fitter report the number of global clocks seems to be zero.

The real question is: where are these two 16-bit words stored in your 16-bit memory? If the upper half is stored at the lower-numbered address, you have "big-endian" convention. If the upper half is stored at the higher-numbered address, it is "little endian".

There is no way to define minimum CLK to OUT with the OFFSET constraint. Instead you should make sure that the output flip-flops are placed in the IOBs and choose an IO standard with parameters hopefully matching your timing requirements. You can also move your output clock edge in a few different ways if needed. /MikhailArticle: 140169

From the hardware point of view both of them have top level in ISE and both include a PPC subsystem. One is implemented in V4FX60 and another in V4FX20/40. On the software side the bigger board runs under VxWorks and we are using VxWorks design environment (another Eclipse) for the application software development. However, to build a BSP for that board, EDK has to be run on a PC where VxWorks is installed or at least that's what we believe, I can imagine that this can be worked around somehow. As mostly a hardware designer I don't have VxWorks on my PC, so this step is done by a software person. The smaller board runs with no OS and the application for it is maintained in SDK. I think debugger facility in SDK will not work if EDK is not installed. Also, starting from 10.1 or perhaps even 9, SDK would alsways ask for an xmp file when started and it would then try to verify if BSP is up to date. I can't see how this will work without EDK... /MikhailArticle: 140171

EDK licensing was rather unreasonable I thought. I find I now have Transition Licenses that expire very soon. Better find out what that's all about.

You can still get EDK separately for $495 (http://www.xilinx.com/onlinestore/design_resources.htm), and it looks as it comes with a separate license, but it is not clear to me based on my previous experience whether EDK can actually be used on its own without ISE.
