  • 1. retiming with Synplify Pro
    I am having problems gtting the retiming feature in Synplify to work. I am coding in a style that utilizes the behavioural retiming(BRT) of synopsys. I code a mac as simple ((a*b) + c) + bulk delay. Synopsys then retimes the code by pipelining the mac. When I try to test this code in an fpga, Synplify does not retime the registers properly. Has anyone else tried this? thanks John

    Laurent, You could build a charge pump with 2 diodes and 2 caps driven with a square wave from your 3.3V FPGA IO. Well, you wanted cheap! HTH, Syms.

  • 3. how to protect own IP in Xilinx ISE
    Hello, Is there a way to put a ready developed VHDL code into binary form, so that other can use, but not read it? Of course there is such a way, because the IP vendors live from that :-). Does anyone know how to do this with the Xilinx ISE 5.x environment? thanks in advance for any help. Guenter ( XXXX@XXXXX.COM )

INIT_B stays low

Postby salimbaba » Thu, 11 Nov 2010 04:29:55 GMT

Hi,
I am using a daisy chain of 2 xc3s4000 FPGAs and an EEPROM xcf16p. The
chains goes like this : EEPROM -> FPGA1 -> FPGA2.

Now the problem is that i brought up the board like 4 months back, it
worked and then i put it back in closet. Today, when i needed it,i thought
it as fine but when plugged it, my INIT_B signal was constantly low where
as it should go high to 3.3V after few ms of POR.

I checked all the signals i could think of, checked for any short circuits
and stuff but couldn't find any clue. I checked my power rails and they
were stable, VCCINT 1.2, VCCIO 3.3 , VccAux 2.5 .

I have an external pull up to 3.3v through 4.7kohm on INIT_B signal.
It has just stopped working.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Regards

Check your configuration data has been generated for the correct
device. Also if you have increased configuration clock rate try
turning that down to normal.

You can gain a little more information using JTAG and doing a status
read of each FPGA device. Look particularly for a CRC error but also
check that your mode pins are set correctly in the status read data.
