12 years ago --- Quote Start --- well... i have a system of 48 Altera Stratix IV here, where i am co-developing the electronics, and where i am supposed to develop the firmware now, why i started learning VHDL a few months ago :-), and the only thing of my now about-6000-lines-code i programmed and tested all the time, with interfaces (e.g. I2C and SPI to a lot of peripheral systems), busses (e.g. 48 highspeed-ADCs per Stratix with DDR-serial-interfaces, DSPs, LVDS-Interfaces plus substantial protocols to other FPGAs (cyclone II, ...), a VME bus system, and lots of more stuff...) which now does not compile and synthesize are just these memory arrays, cause i simply dont know yet how to instantiate them correctly, and i dont find any information how to do it :-) --- Quote End --- Why don't you explain your system to me, and what you want to do with it, and I'll try to help provide some direction for you. I have a lot of experience with large FPGA-based systems; the system I am working on uses 250 Stratix IV GTs. If you don't want to discuss the project on this list, then send me an email (to my forum name). Cheers, Dave
