Timing Constraint not met
Hi I put a timing constraint in the UCF File where i asked for a minimum frequency of 35 MHz (29 ns) but unfortuatenly XST tells me that the ratio was not met and the actual ratio is 38 ns. I have...

Problem in assignment of pins in PACE
Hi all, I have recently just generated HDL netlist from System Generator 9.1 and I have began assigning the pins in PACE for my design. Although I have assigned most pins as well as the clk, I have...
 
Strange "Style guide" requirements...
I've been working as a 'consultant' / sub contract engineer with a strong emphasis on FPGA work for about eight years now (after a previous eight stint as a permanent employee with a large Telco). I...

How to get Map Repoprt after System Generator postmap estimation
Hi all, I have done some resource estimation while doing my design on System generator 9.1. But it beats me where to get the map report after I have done post map estimation. I will appreciate some...
 
impact bug or wrong interpretation of xsvf layout?
Hi, While debugging my xsvf parser for ft2232 jtag programmers I experience some really odd behavior; if I swapped my buffer and then send (essentially) 'junk' to my device it would actually boot,...

Weired Distributed Memory behaviour
Hi As mentioned in an earlier post, I need an asynchonous instead of a synchronous data memory. The design was working with the BRAM, but the data was delayed by one cycle. So one would expect when...

beleive
I can hardly beleive, that when a single FPGA may cost up to 2000$, there is no space for a few hundred kilo- maybe megabytes of information in an age, when a terabyte costs around a few 100$s. Or...
