DSP48 Inference Template for XST

May 06, 2008 1 Replies

I'd like to infer a DSP48 in XST and can't find a template that will infer all of these opmodes:



P=M P=M+C P=P+M P=P-M



(where M=A*B)



I can get XST to do any of these, one or two at a time, but when I try to do all at once it adds a bunch of fabric. Any suggestions? The code below, for example, properly connects up the ALUMODE pins (in a V5) for the add/subtract function, but the mux that should be inferred as the the DSP48's Z mux gets put in fabric instead, so P gets routed through a fabric mux which feeds into C.

library IEEE; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL; use IEEE.numeric_std.ALL; entity xst_mac is port (clk, reset, sel, add_sub: in std_logic; A, B : in signed(17 downto 0); C : in signed(47 downto 0); P : out signed(47 downto 0)); end xst_mac; architecture synth of xst_mac is signal mult : signed(35 downto 0); signal accum : signed(47 downto 0); begin process (clk) begin if (clk'event and clk='1') then if (reset = '1') then accum '0'); mult '0'); else if (sel='0') then accum


...

Never mind--I don't think this type of inference is supported at the time. -Kevin
