    when I say partial word access, I mean 16-bit (two byte) or 8-bit (byte) read/write.

    Background:

    In one of our recent projects, Cyclone V SoC is used to replace 386 CPU in an existing product.

    I am responsible for the board and FPGA design. Another software…

    I have a Cyclone V SOC system, and the ARM is running Linux, and the FPGA is running SDI video and VIP suite items. The FPGA DDR memory is being used by the VIP suite and all works well. The ARM is using the DDR memory attached to it, and Linux does not…

    Hi,

    I am just performing the first steps with the DesignStart Eval Edition (Cortex-M0), trying to compile the verilog sources to get a simulation running.

    So I changed /systems/fpga_testbench/trl_sim/makefile to use gcc and modelsim and now I want to …

    Hi,

    I'd like to try and use external BRAM as the I/D memory for the Cortex-M1 DesignStart package for Xilinx FPGAs. The reference examples for Arty boards use the internal TCMs.

    I've built a design in Vivado with a BRAM connected to the AXI3 port mapped…

    Hi. First of all, thanks for your attention in advance. I have to say that I am completely new in FPGA programming, but I could have never imagined that running an example with a documentation explaining it step by step could be so cumbersome and error…

    Hello,

    I have already played around with the Cortex-M1 reference designs for Xilinx Spartan and Artix boards, can you give an indication of what your maximum target frequency for the processor IP core is? Are the referenced 100 MHz a good design practice…
