17 years agoIt was based on AN386, yes, but:
1) Figured out how to do the rtl as verilog rather than having to use the megawizard generated function so the code can be changed to implement any flash size and/or device type required (the original was rather limited) 2) Added support for fast burst mode parallel flash to get over 50MB/sec aggregate bandwidth into the Stratix device (to meet PCI Express reset time to active requirements on a large device like an EP3SL340) during configuration 3) Figured out how to do the JTAG commands to the device in order to be able to use a faster 3rd party JTAG tool to do the initial programming.
