Hello Nathan,
I do have a couple additional questions. I am trying to understand how the .MIF files are structured for reconfiguration. I should note that I have inherited the project I am working on, so I am still trying to understand the current project code before I modify it for an updated purpose. In the JESD204B IP Core Design Example User Guide Pgs. 59-60, the JESD .MIF format is referenced as follows:
Maximum Configuration MIF
WIDTH=16;
DEPTH=16;
ADDRESS_RADIX=UNS;
DATA_RADIX=BIN;
CONTENT BEGIN
0 : 0000000000000001; -- L (maximum config)
1 : 0000000000000001; -- M
2 : 0000000000000001; -- F
.
.
.
3 : 1111111111111111; -- End of MIF
[4..7] : 0000000000000000;
Downscale Configuration MIF
8 : 0000000000000000; -- L (downscale config)
9 : 0000000000000000; -- M
10 : 0000000000000001; -- F
.
.
.
11 : 1111111111111111; -- End of MIF
[12..15] : 0000000000000000;
END;
What I have done is search through my project directory for every .MIF file used in the design, and checked each file individually. What I found is that none of my files share the above format, or the PHY format for Arria V referenced on Pgs. 57-58. So my questions are such:
- Does the JESD IP require a specific naming convention (or generate a .MIF file of a specific naming convention)?
- Is this exact format required for the JESD .MIF file, or are other formats supported? If the later, where can I find information about the supported formats?
Since I didn't find a .MIF file for either of the referenced formats, and the JESD IP is certainly used in the design, I am a little confused.
Thanks again,
Samual
