Re: Can Avalon-MM Slave BFM Intel FPGA IP be used to implement a memory block?
The "Avalon Verification IP Suite: User Guide" mentions a memory_mode on page 47: "Response Generator and Data Cache— In memory_mode the Slave BFM models a single port RAM. A write operation stores the data in an associative array and generates no response. A read operation fetches data from the array and drives it on the response side of the Avalon interface. This mode simplifies loopback testing. " However, there is absolutely nothing with this name anywhere outside this document. I have done a search of the .sv file of the BFM. I have not found anything there. Is this some sort of mistake?Re: I know almost nothing about transceivers, how do I learn how to use them for my benfit?
Lets start from somewhere. Lets just assume that I want to transmit data really really fast from one FPGA to another, on the same PCB or through a backplane. Now in this world full of flood of terms and things like Ethernet, PCIe, XAUI, SGMII, Interlaken e.t.c e.t.c., how do we know where to start? Lets say I want some rate e.g 2.5 Gb/s. Now what do I do next?Re: How is system_console_rc.tcl supposed to be used with system console?
Please give me some ideas, some examples, so I can make the most use of this. Also, I have found that using exit() does not exist system console whether we are in command-line (using command line system-console) or the GUI version. How are we supposed to exit at all? With GUI we can select close option but with shell, I seems that we just need to close the shell manually since some process will always be running.Re: Why would someone need to use alt-file-convert and what alternatives exist?
The alt-file-convert is being used for the purpose that it was created for. However, I do find it strange that this remains in beta stage for so many years although it is not such a complex tool. The documentation for this program needs to be improved. A feature is required where the start address for different memory blocks that make up the resulting file can be specified is also required.How is system_console_rc.tcl supposed to be used with system console?
The QII53028 "Analyzing and Debugging Designs with System Console" states that: "You can use the system_console_rc.tcl file in combination with your custom rc_script.tcl file. In this capacity, the system_console_rc.tcl file performs actions that System Console always needs and the local rc_script.tcl file performs actions for particular experiments." Could someone please give an example of how the system_console_rc.tcl and rc_script.tcl can be used to "customize" the system console? I mean what is "customize" even supposed to mean? We already know that although the system console is a terminal, it does not have the capability to autocomplete when we press tab. This is quite a serious limitation and it cannot be fixed anyway. What is the use of these two scripts then?
