multiple clock domain instruction

Hi, guys,

I am now studying the document named "building systems with multiple clock domains" which is in Quartux II Handbook, Volume 4.

in page 11-8, it says that I need to find something inside the file standard.bdf, however, I spend hours finding the standard.bdf file but couldn't find it in my computer. I am pretty sure I did correctly in the previous steps...

Anybody knows where the file is? I am kinda rookie to the altera software for now..

thanks a lot

    standard is the design name for which ever device you are targeting, and the bdf should be in that directory. did you check:

    <Nios II EDS install path>\examples\<verilog or vhdl>\<board

    version>\standard

    thanks for the reply. Exactly, there is such a directory! I thought the bdf file might be there after I generated the updated system using SOPC builder; however, it is not there!! :confused:

    where else can i check? thank you

    i don't see any bdf files either. the manual must be out dated.

    you will have to create the bdf or work with the HDL file instead.

    Hello,

    I am not sure if I understood your question, but for manage multiple clock domain you can use a double clock fifo.

    You can generate this fifo using the MEGAWIZARD PLUG IN MANAGER.

    tools>>megawizard plug in manager>>create...>>memory_compiler>>fifo

    Good luck.

    thank you. maybe you are right, but the v code seems quite complicated
