I agree absolutely.  However there are non-technical reasons why I
won't, personally, work on a high level language tool.

The tool I am proposing will serve as a back end to whatever high level
software you can find, and I assure you, the emphasis will be on easy to
use in the same senses that GCC is easy to use.  I.e., if you want it to
look like Visual Basic, forget it.  If you just want to enter a simple
circuit and watch it run (or at least, simulate), consider that the
focus of the tool.

Yes well, I hear install times have got better lately.  I do remember
waiting 1 hour for MaxplusII to install a few months ago.  Very tedious.

i've also got C code to do all this, through a control register on a
PC (as well as a hex file conversion futility). if anyone wants to
post it on a website, mail me. on the other hand, i guess i could put
it on my own site if there's any interest - anybody else want to mail

I agree.  But, with a PCI interface, there are subtle differences in
implementation and testing that can make or break a project that far
outweigh the initial cost of the 'core'.  AND without the source code, and
the expertise in PCI, these problems can be difficult to find.  I guess I
would trust the Xilinx PCI core more than anyone else's (well, except for
the ones I did ;-), at least until someone else provided some sort of
compliance testing, full timing specs etc.

It is one thing to just work in 'a' machine in 'the' lab with one other PCI
card, but to actually make the PCI spec, in a fully loaded machine AND with
all the PCI host bridge chips out there, is a totally different feat.

Subject: constant and signal for fuction parameter
From: Duck Foot <duckfoot11@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 14:37:02 +0900
Links: << >>  << T >>  << A >>
    Of the two types for the function parameter in vhdl, i.e. constant
and signal,  constant parameter cannot be modified within the function
body.
    In a function made of purely combinational logic blocks, however,
the function operates on the input parameters and give off the results
immediately, there won't be any functional differences no matter its
parameters are defined constant or signal.
    Am I right or wrong? What's the correct approach when I implement
bit permutation or substitute box, etc.?

Hi,

I have been thinking of using Atmel's AT40K family together with IDS 6.0
in my next design. I have not done anything yet by playing with the
software it seems to me that everything what you need, to design a
system is there, and this software is free!!!

Why don't you download it and play - you may be like it!

I guess I assumed rather a lot...
But since the board in question appears to be the very one supplied as
part of the Xilinx kit (at least it goes by the same name, from the same
supplier, as far as I can see) I wonder if it's such an unreasonable
assumption.

Agreed. 
Since this thread was started by a sales party for the board
manufacturer, let's ask him - whose PCI core is in this cut-price deal,
and do you get the full set of information?

I need to buy an HDL  Synthesis tool  with the back-end Target = Xilinx.
I've got it down to a choice of
either Leonardo [Exemplar] or Synplify [Synplicity].  Anybody have a
comments  +or - on this chain
Verilog-> <TOOL>-> Xilinx Spartan-XL/XC4K-XL/Virtex.

One thing I have discovered is that the Xilinx place&route tools take a
lot longer to run with the Synplify
output than with the Spectrum - esp. the placer.  In both cases the
design was unconstrained.  Of course I might be doing something wrong to
the Synplify tool !

Hi,

First of all, these devices are (one-time programmable) PROM's, so no
E(E)PROM's.
I am pretty sure you can't programm them with the byte blaster, either off-line
or in-system.
Check out http://www.altera.com and look for the (new) EPC2 devices. These are
in-system (re)programmable
through its JTAG pins. Of course, you can also use JTAG for board-level
(production) test, since this is why JTAG
was "invented" in the first place.....
The EPC2 devices can also be programmed using the bit/byte blaster.

Good luck,

Jaap Mol.

If you would like to contribute your code, I will make it available on
my web site. Or Evan has offered to create a page on his web site. 

I will make another offer. If anyone wants to send me some good, clean C
code (or Pascal for those who use it), I will take some time to write a
"solid appnote" and offer it to Xilinx to put on their web site. Isn't
that the most logical place for it?

Good idea, and I have already promised John Larkin that I
will support this.But I personally am just not the right guy
to write it.

Let's do it together, somehow.
We all see the benefit for everybody, Xilinx included.

Perhaps I don't quite understand your problem, it seems to be the FPGA
Express's limitation. I used to synthesize the VHDL design with ViewLogic's
Aurora. However, in ViewLogic 7.5, it is with FPGA Express. I am now using it
and find that it doesn't quite work well with other ViewLogic's product like
ViewDraw, ViewSim.

Maybe Synopsis should positively see his problem.

Jim,
I realize you asked about Synplicity use with Xilinx, which I haven't done,
but I used both it and Viewlogic  in designing a custom processor using 2
Actel 1280s (about 12K Actel FPGA gates). The design was 80+ pages of VHDL
in over 30 files. I found the Synplify tool to be excellent, and the
Viewlogic tool to be horrible. What the Viewlogic tool took 2+ hrs to badly
synthesize, the Synplify tool took < 10 minutes with very good results. The
Actel mux structure is a bitch to synthesize, but Synplify handled it very
well. Additionally, their l RTL and technology view (Post synth. target
schematic) were great helps in finding long prop. delay problems. I dropped
using Viewsynth completely, and the company bought the Synplify tool even
though we already owned the Viewlogic tool (with maint that included
aurora).The only pain about the Synplify product is that it's a bit pricey
with the viewers. I can provide more details if you're interested.

Xilinx offers the foundation package, where the Synopsys FPGA Express is
included. Depending on which package you choose you will have support  for
all XILINX devices or only a subset. Take a look at there wesite.

Does Spectrum preserve the hierarchy in the ouput netlist? I think
that Synplify default does not preserve the hierarchy by default. That
might be a reason why the Spectrum ouput has faster PAR runtimes. This
because the placer don't know about the hierarchy and the placer has
to do more work. As you know the placer is not that good...

Check the release notes for Synplify 5.08

http://www.synplicity.com/support/rel508_notes.html

I think there is a way to force Synplify to keep the hiearchy, well at
least it _should_ be possible.

Have you considered configuring the device at hte factory and making use of the
device "shutdown/powerdown" etc. and using a battery backup, that waay there is no
need for a configurator/eeprom. There are problems with this approach, but it is just
an idea.

Subject: Q:Hardware debugging with Xilinx M1.4

Hi to everyone!

I'm using Xilinx M1.4 (Alliance) on a workstation (HP) and the
Xchecker-cable for downloading the generated *.bit-file on a XC4010E. My
problem is that the downloaded design doesn't do what the simulation
makes me expecting it to do. Some parts of my design are working fine
what makes me sure that I did the implementation correctly. But some
parts don't work at all and the report files don't show any
warnings/errors that seem to be the cause for this problem. I know there
is a posibility for a hardware debugging but I don't know how to get
there.
When implementing the design the check-box "Enable Bitstream
Verification and In-Circuit Hardware Dedugging" is checked in the XC4000
Configuraion Options and the Readback Clock is set to CCLK. But when I
call the Hardware Debugger it tells me that the "design does not have a
readback block connected". The the xchecker-program run from the command
line detects a cable "serial-readback". Does this just mean that the
cable supports readback-mode if the design does too? And what exactly is
the "Readback Block"? Do I have to add some functions to my design? Or
do I have just to change some settings for the implementation? What do I
have to do to run the Hardware Debugger???

Bye,

Gerd

There is only one _free_ MAX+plus II software. It's available at

You have to have :"Readback Block" in your design and in design
manager in "configuration options" you must "Enable Bitstream Verification
and In-Circuit Hardware Debugging".

Parameters of class signal may be of mode in, in which case they are
read only; out, in which case they are write only; on inout, in which
case they can be both read and written.  There is also a class variable,
which can take the same three modes.

The only reason to pass something as either a signal or as a variable
is if either you need to write through the parameter (in which case a
function cannot be used) or if you wish to use signal attributes on
the parameter, such as 'event.

Hope this helps,

Paul

Subject: Experience with Xilinx PCI

	Has anyone had experience with using the Xilinx designed PCI
core on an XC4000XVT series part?  How hard was it to interface too?
What sort of bandwidth was seen for large and small transfers?

	Also, does anyone know when a comparable IP core will be
available for the Virtex?
