14 years agoSPI with DMA is not working?
Hi, everyone I am using SPI Master Core on FPGA to transmit data to SPI slave (offboard device). I want to use DMA to free my NIOS for other tasks during SPI data transfer. My Idea is NIOS...

14 years agoWould have been nice(r) if you gave the actual MPU part-number.
SPI interfaces differ from device to device, so I wrote a general SPI-master interface handling some of the differences. I recently wrapped this in a MM-Slave block. I have no idea if modifying the Altera supplied SPI module is straightforward. (They are in Verilog, and I do VHDL ...). A lot of the Qsys building blocks are NIOS II oriented and thus driven by software. This complicates things now and then.
