15 years agoSupport for floating point arithmetic and the VHDL-2008's float_pkg by Quartus-II
I am trying to develop a design that involves floating point arithmetic with DSPs in an Arria-II GX device. I would like my code to be portable so I am trying to avoid the use of MegaCores. Does anyb...

15 years agoI wonder, if there's a reasonable way to implement pipelining in a behavioral description like IEEE.float_package. It must use explicite register instances that can't be hidden in a function or operator.
As discussed previously, the Quartus synthesis has capabilties to "pull" register instances into an inferred integer divider, but the registers still need to be defined besides the "/" operator. Bu this looks like a good way for a float package implementation.
