13 years agoDoes the logic actually need all 2000 coefficients during the same clock? How fast does the calculation need to take? What calculation are the coefficients used for, eg., a digital filter (if GF3 is supposed to mean something, post a link to details)?
These questions are important as they determine whether your logic can be serialized or has to be implemented in parallel. Given that you are transferring data via a UART, I suspect you do not have a requirement for high speed. In either case, you probably want to use dual-ported RAM. The NIOS II processor would write to one side of the RAM, and the logic would read from the other side. Cheers, Dave
