12 years agoon chip FIFO memory question
Hello, I met a question when add on-chip FIFO memory in Qsys. when writing data to FIFO core, it can result in PC hung up. pls see the attached file for details would you please help me? ...

12 years agoThank you Steffen.
the PC hung up issue was fixed. I use FIFO to transfer instruction from PC to endpoint. so I need a siganl to inform FPGA that the commands have been wroten to FPGA. then, FPGA fetch them command to do DMA process.. I want to use FIFO's interrupt signal (write port's, I export this singal from the Qsys core to my VHDL process). so I set up the FIFO's REG (almostfull REG)=24(byte) & enable it's interupt REG. the test result didn't meet my expection. I also found if the status_REG's overflow bit or underflow bit is '1', this fifo will refuse to work either write data or read data. the fill_level REG will always be zero. what is the root cause? Thank you in advance!
