Brad - I also haven't figured out how to simulate a bi-directional port
using ISE.
The code below is basically what I've used for a bi-directional
register.
write_reg: process ( clk ) is
begin
if rising_edge( clk ) then
if reg_sel = '1' and write = '1' then
my_reg <= data;
end if;
end if;
end process;
read_reg: process ( reg_sel, read_reg, my_reg ) is
begin
if reg_sel = '1' and read_reg = '1' then
data <= my_reg;
else
data < = (others => 'Z');
end if;
end process;

Hi, I am looking for a board with at least 16 balanced LVDS connections able to run at 800 MHz, preferably A but X would be OK too. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Of course the larger the FPGA the better, and two or more FPGAs would be awesome :-) Thanks.Article: 95454

What about communication between clusters - you don't really want to lock that into PCB routes ? Perhaps a transputer type serial highway, with some redundancy ?

That's what our country was built upon. That does have downsides, for example the lack of a formal apprenticeship program in the trade such as plumbing, construction, electrical and so on. But in EE there is the proof you get with your degree, something many trades folks do not have because they didn't go to any trade school. If there would be hardcore proof that licensure provide tangible benefits that would be different. I have not seen such proof. > One of a student's responsibilities in selecting a school is to make > sure the school has the credentials to make his intended degree worth > something. ... As I said, there are many top notch "ivy league" universities in Asia, Europe and other areas that provide excellent education but are not ABET credentialed. These aren't offshore diploma mills. In fact, some are a lot stricter than many of our schools. Making those graduates wait 20 years or shell out tens of thousands of Dollars again is not right and does not benefit the public. > The PEs who provide your references do not have to be in the same > discipline, nor do they need to have any expertise in your area of work. > They are basically vouching for you by stating that your work is worthy > of a professional and that you are moral and ethical in your work.

While they might be able to judge my ethics they are not able to judge my competence. So what good does it do the public if someone signs off to do me a favor? A civil engineer or even an EE on the power business can say that I talk up a nice prose about electronics. But that is in no way a guarantee that I won't mess up a beamformer design for an ultrasound machine (promise, I won't...). > ... I tried > to point out to you that there are likely people you've come in contact > with that have a PE license, but you dismissed that out of hand. ... As I said, I did ask that question a lot. There is no dismissing here at all. What I found was two civil engineers, one designing bridges, the other designing environmental improvements (construction). Then I found one more in power engineering who was thinking about getting a PE. But he hadn't taken the FE after he graduated because nobody had pointed it out to them in those days so he put that whole PE idea on the back burner. > ...

It does explicitly include consultants. I believe that was forced into the regs by industry lobbying. We have many small start-ups that rely on consultants and our legislature knows that taking that exemption away would cripple our state and send the already strained state budget into a hard tail spin. > ... That is certainly the case in a number of the states I > have done business in. ... Yes, and legally even you could probably not work there unless you get a license in those states by comity. An RI license won't do you any good in Missouri and so on. Just that requirement to get (and pay for) umpteen licenses is something I find, with all due respect, pretty pathetic. > ...

Maybe, I haven't followed it in years. One of my PE friend from the construction field told me he had to because he is registered. And it was sometimes financially killing him. Our licensing authority had been dissolved a few years ago and the Department of Consumer Affairs took over. I know that they require contractors to secure liability and can't imagine they wouldn't require the same of engineers. > ... I do carry it, but it is not required.

When I was in High School, my family moved from Iowa to Michigan. I
remember the Michigan Secretary of State's office (where you get your
driver's license and register your car) to be a nightmare -- long
lines, unhelpful clerks, and a generally painful way to spend an
afternoon.
A few years back, when I moved from Minnesota back to Michigan, I was
bracing myself for the nightmare -- and was pleasently surprised at
how easy and efficient transferring my license and registration was.
Someone in the Secretary of State's office had been working hard to
make things easier in the intervening 25 years, and it showed.
I recently moved to back to Iowa (after over 30 years). Getting the
license was relatively easy, though somewhat bureaucratic (you need
proof of residence -- the deed to your house will do -- as well as
your original Social Security card -- nothing else will do. Hope you
have it!), but I have to go to a seperate office in a different
location to transfer my vehicle titles (State DoT for D/L vs. County
Tax Administration for vehicle registration). And of course, they're
only open during the hours I work, so I have to schedule time off to
do it. Sigh.

It's quite difficult to give oneself "carpal tunnel syndrome" - you really have to work at it for a long time, while ignoring the pain from your wrist. There's an exceedingly simple cure for this - if it hurts, stop. I've been sitting at a keyboard pretty much all of my waking life for about 30 years, and the only time I ever got a _hint_ of "carpal tunnel" was when I was holding the mouse in a very awkward position - when my wrist said, "This Hurts!" I changed the position of my arm. Voila! No "carpal tunnel syndrome"! You'll get much better when you learn why you hate yourself so much. Good Luck! RichArticle: 95465

I just re-checked the application form here in CA. It looks like it's up to four refs now and says "These individuals must be licensed as professional engineers in the discipline for which you are applying". That would rule out my CE friends.

What I was asking was if there is a way to post a link to Philip Freidin's existing FPGA_FAQ site on the Google portal (Google groups:comp.arch.fpga). Google does in fact have FAQ's on posting etiquette, but I doubt many of the offenders have browsed enough to find it. I'm posting this using google and the only link on the page for posting takes you to a very brief description of a usenet group. Browsing through the "about" links I found this brief note on Usenet posting: http://groups.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=basics.html#flamed What I was hoping was that the main page you see when browsing to this group on the google site could be managed somehow like a private google group where some administrator can post links to FAQ's for the group. Having an FAQ for the group doesn't do much good unless you trip over the link to it on your way to making your first post...Article: 95470
