Creating SOPC-aware DMA slave device

Hi, I would like to use use the DMA controller found within SOPC to transfer data between a FIFO that will be connected as the DMA read master and the SDRAM controller that will be connected to...

Hi Baycool,

Sounds like you have made an SOPC component that is very similar to the type we will be needing. To the best of your knowledge, is there any documentation on how to create a custom SOPC component or did you just use the documentation that is referenced from within the SOPC application itself?

Our FIFO will probably have to be made from custom VHDL code but that's probably the easy part. So far, the potential stumbling block has been finding a way to create a custom SOPC component that uses the FIFO and DMA controller to make an efficient A/D to SDRAM transfer mechanism.

Thanks for the info.

Brad.
