Honored ContributorHi,
Does anyone know how to increase the depth of dcfifo to more than 131000 words ? The maximum selectable from Megacore is 131,000 something... connecting two of these together? regards, Michael
Honored ContributorWhy do You need such a big FIFO? This is maximum available. Either do Your own FIFO using RAM or use external FIFO chip.
Honored ContributorConnecting a DCFIFO and a SCFIFO back-to-back is very easy. This would allow you to double the size.
I'm not sure whether 'directly' instantiating the fifo in your code (use the MegaWizard generated code to see how to do this) would allow any size fifo, but the .pdf doc looks like this would work ok.Honored ContributorHonored ContributorWrite to Your FIFO and count words. Remember the last address You've written and begin read from there backwards. Simple as that :)
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorMy bad, begin from the place You've started writing :)
Honored ContributorUsing up all the on chip RAM when you have external RAM seems like a waste of resources. Just build an ADC interface that supports Avalon-ST, hook it up to a clock crossing FIFO if need, then hook up the FIFO/ADC to a DMA and push it into memory. Also long as you have enough memory bandwidth and you feed the DMA descriptors fast enough you should never drop samples.
