16 years agoAccessing Data on the FPGA or SDRAM from a PC
I am using a DSP Dev. Kit, Cyclone III Edition: In order to verify my system and to test the idea behind the prototype I would like to access data stored on the FPGA as well as on the DDR2 SDR...

16 years agoFor small chunks of data(not 40MB) a workaround is to use signaltap to capture data then store it in pc.
I believe DSP builder got a function for that or you can do that manually as follows: set all signaltap data to signed values. then right click mouse and tick generate text file. remove all header iinformation from text file to leave the data only. then in matlab load your file: load filename.txt this genertes a matrix called filename then choose the data e.g. data1 = filename(:,1); all rows of column 1 and process it... You may be able to trigger the signaltap at various points of time to concatenate into larger data set.
