This application note provides a functional description of VHDL source code for a N x N DigitalCrosspoint Switch. The code is designed with eight inputs and eight outputs in order to targetthe 128-macrocell CoolRunner™-II CPLD device but can be easily expanded to target higherdensity devices. To obtain the VHDL source code described in this document, go to sectionVHDL Code, page 5 for instructions.
The Virtex-4 features, such as the programmable IDELAY and built-in FIFO support, simplifythe bridging of a high-speed, PCI-X core to large amounts of DDR-SDRAM memory. Onechallenge is meeting the PCI-X target initial latency specification. PCI-X Protocol Addendum tothe PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0a ([Ref 6]) dictates that when a target signals adata transfer, "the target must do so within 16 clocks of the assertion of FRAME#." PCItermination transactions, such as Split Response/Complete, are commonly used to meet thelatency specifications. This method adds complexity to the design, as well as additional systemlatency. Another solution is to increase the ratio of the memory frequency to the PCI-X busfrequency. However, this solution increases the required power and clock resource usage.
Pocket 1945 is a classic shooter inspired by the classic 1942 game. The game is written in C# targeting the .NET Compact Framework. This article is my first submission to Code Project and is my contribution to ongoing .NET CF competition.
The GRLIB IP Library is an integrated set of reusable IP cores, designed for system-on-chip (SOC) development. The IP cores are centered around the common on-chip bus, and use a coherent method for simulation and synthesis. The library is vendor independent, with support for different CAD tools and target technologies. A unique plug&play method is used to configure and connect the IP cores without the need to modify any global resources.
This example demonstrates how to erase, write, and read the on-chip 640-byte EEPROM Data Memory of the Analog Devices ADuC812, ADuC814, ADuC816, and ADuC824 devivces. This example includes a µ Vision2 Project with a target for each supported device.
