17 years ago --- Quote Start --- The address and bank address lines are shared between both devices in the clamshell, with the chip select signal used to selectively write to one device or the other or both. The data bus is 16-bits wide (8 bits per device). But the control signals for both the device have got different pin assignments. --- Quote End --- Sorry, I still don't understand. The control signals can be either shared, which to my opinion means, they connect to the same FPGA pin, each, or separate, connecting to different FPGA pins. In the latter case you need two controller instances. By the way, I 'm unable to identify any "Altera CNIC 2a" board.
