New ContributorClocking Avalon slave module outside of the NIOS
Yes, that is what I was picturing. No, there is no difference or advantage in either setup. It's just wires.
If it was my design, I might just include the PLL in the Platform Designer system. That way, I could easily manage the connections to other components I might add to the system, adding an output clock bridge if needed, and making the whole thing more portable.
New ContributorThank you for you responses.
To be sure when you say: "add an additional clock bridge to your Platform Designer system, exporting the output of that second bridge so the slow clock can be used both inside and outside the system." Do you mean doing this ?
Would you recommend doing one rather than the other solution (connecting directly the PLL) ?
