I am currently trying to build a project where a NIOS II needs to communicate with the SDRAM on the Cyclone 10 GX Dev Kit and was wondering what the best way of doing this is. I have tried connectin...

7 years agoThe design is based on the example design from the EMIF IP Parameter Editor provided with the Cyclone 10 GX dev kit which comes with a width of 320 and also a burst interface, see attached image. I assume the 320 width comes because of the hardware requirements of DDR3. I can deal with the address span with the Address Span expander IP, but I cannot just hookup the NIOS to the example design because of the bursting and the difference in data width. I have tried looking for example designs for the Cyclone 10 GX with the NIOS connected to DDR3, but to no success. It's looking like I am going to need build a custom instruction module to get them to communicate.
