Honored ContributorHi everyone,
I have a DDC logic and also runs in modelsim. Now, I want to plug into SGDMA to run. My DDC comes with multi clocks, inputs and also multi outputs. My question is that possible to run in SGDMA? My understanding is that SGDMA has only 1 input and 1 output. How can I make this into multi inputs/outputs? Anyone has done this before or could you give me some pointers? Best regards, Sean
Honored Contributorwhat is your data flow and how do you want to connect everything together? You have some components such as mux/demux that can help.
Honored ContributorThanks. Do you have template mux/demux so I can try out?
SeanHonored ContributorThey briefly talk about it in chapter 3 of the sopc user manual (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_sopc_builder.pdf). IIRC they are available in the "adapters and bridges" section in SOPC builder.
Honored ContributorThanks Daixiwen,
It didn't talk much about multiplexer channel. I also read about Avalon Streaming Channel Multiplexer and Demultiplexer Cores document, but I'm really need to find a simple example mux/demux connects to SGDMA. ~SeanHonored ContributorI think the udp offload example (http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/nios_ii_udp_offload_example) has muxes and demuxes connected to SGDMAs, But without more details about your dataflow, it is difficult to give more advice.
Honored ContributorThe Qsys tutorial also comes with muxes and de-muxes that are controlled by accessing a slave port. They only do 2:1 and 1:2 so if you have more channels you would have to built them up of a bunch of smaller muxes/demux (or just hack the HDL and .tcl code to support more channels).
Honored ContributorThanks Daixiwen and BadOmen,
I just tried to mess around mux/demux in SOPC to connect SGDMA. Is this correct settings? I will discuss with my Researcher Manager to provide you data flow by PM interfaces. For now, I just want to see if I can learn anything from mux/demux with SGDMA. That why I just need a very simple sample with SGDMA and mux/demux. Thanks, SeanHonored ContributorThose connections should work. However I think the SGDMA doesn't support channels, so as a result all your packets from the SGDMA will probably end up in the same stream after the demux.
IIRC the modular SGDMA doesn't support channels either, so you may have to replace the channel adapter by a component of your own that assigns a channel number to each packet.Honored ContributorThank you very much Daixiwen,
Yeah, I try to run Nios IDE, but I see that the result the same streaming. To BadOmen, do you have a hack in verilog file to support more than 2 channels. Best regards, SeanHonored ContributorHere some more...
Hope you give me some pointers.
