Hello,
We’ve noticed a key difference in how the memory device name appears when using the Address Span Extender IP core.
In our case, the memory device name includes the suffix _windowed_slave, like so:
address_span_extender_0_windowed_slave
This seems to be the main difference between our system and yours.
The critical warning appears in the "Problems" tab when we press the "Generate BSP" button.
Didn't you encounter the same issue?
Also, could you confirm if you're using Quartus version 24.3.1?
Typically, the Address Span Extender is placed between the processor and a larger memory that exceeds the processor's addressable range. However, in your system, we noticed the processor is connected directly to the memory and also via the Address Span Extender.
We tried different connections and topologies and always received the warning.
In summary, here are the key differences we observed:
- The memory device name in our system is address_span_extender_0_windowed_slave, while in yours, it appears without the _windowed_slave suffix. Could you please let us know why we are seeing this difference?
- When we press the "Generate BSP" button, we receive the warning that we already mentioned in the "Problems" tab.
Best regards.
