I'm using conduits as a connection from my Verilog HDL to the SOPC system. What i want to do is send a constant stream of pixel data to be prepared as packets for passing to the Tripple Speed Ethernet MAC (via a multiplexor). I've managed to make the double up conduits go away on my example, by explicitly writing some HDL for the component and using that as its base in the editor. But things i'm still trying to understand (doing alot of reading atm).- streaming and data widths and symbol size:
I can't quite understand how the stream works
- What does the symbol size define? It can't be depth because that would be infinite yeah?
- packet creation: Ideally i would want to create the packets in HDL, but there is a limit of 1024 width. So you can't do a packet a cycle. I still need to understand it more before i can figure this i suppose.
