--- Quote Start --- It doesn't support streaming but you might be able to use a ST-->MM FIFO which C2H could then access using a master that continuously accesses the FIFO slave port.[/b] --- Quote End --- Oh Ok. Thank you BadOmen. I needed a few suggestions regarding the following topic. I have to evaluate the ImpulseC c2h converter and Altera c2h compiler. And I suppose the major difference between the two is, the ImpulseC uses its own API and functions and datatypes, and the C code needs to be written in a particular structure in order to get it converted to hardware efficiently. As for the altera c2h compiler, the code structure is comparatively pretty straight forward using standard C variable types. Apart from it, the ImpulseC converts streaming algorithms with its co_stream data type. while for Altera c2h compiler, to implement streaming algorithms, we need to use the ST--> MM FIFO as you mentioned. Is there any major difference between the performances of these two c2h converters ? I understand if the C code is not written as per the guidelines, the hardware generation might not be very efficient but assuming that, i would be able to write a C code following the proper guidelines, will there be major difference between the performances of the two. thanks in advance. regards.
