hi Good Day! I hope you all are fine. Actually i want to take some technical input. I want to build 10,000 floating point multiplier in FPGA fabric. So > Kindly suggest me Is it possible ? > How we can implement ? (my suggestion is MicroBlaze soft processor) > Which Chip_Set is best for this purpose ? Thanks in Advance ........... Best Regards

Just courious, when you're faced with new embedded design, what criteria that you use to select the design base (FPGA/CPLD based or microcontroller/microprocessor based)? What projects is good for FPGA/CPLD and what projects is good for microprocessor/microcontroller ? Is there any good reference on this ? Thank You

Sorry if this is a repeat post. . . I'm trying to understand the reasons why someone would put a soft ARM processor in an FPGA. Both Xilinx and Altera have fine 32-bit offerings that have good development environments, growing ecosystems, and rich catalogs of IP. I suspect it has something to do with ARM being an industry standard or something like that, but the reality is that the ARM will...

hi, im a newbie in DSP and embedded programming and i've some doubts that i hope some of you could kindly answer. i've to do some profiling between DSP and ASIC/FPGA solutions. Im a FPGA guy so im lost with this DSP thing. 1) i'd like to know what do you think about the code i wrote, cause i feel it's not very "DSP optimized". I need to implement some sort of shiftregister or FIFO, b...

Hi, there: I am doing some exercise with a PIC15C57 core on FPGA. Now I am adding a multiplier to address 7C~7F...Basically in assembly I will write two variables to 7C & 7D, then fetch the result from 7E & 7F...Similar idea to a divider...Will such a crazy idea find application in the real world? Plus...I can add stuff like UART, DDS, etc... Kelvin

Folks, After search the net for various eval boards, I haven't found the one that I need and afford... that is so oxymoronic... nevertheless, I figured I might try the community before making a decision. I am looking for an FPGA proto board that sits on a 64/66 PCI on a ATX motherboard. Since we are on a budget we would like to stick with low end devices such as Spartan 3 or Cyclone 2 w...

I've found that my vendor has a 4-wire RS-485 full-duplex connection into an FPGA fast enough to handle 5-10 Mbits, and I'd like to coordinate communication using that interface (together with some isolators). What would be a good protocol for exchanging packets of 4-20 32-bit words, with acknowledges? I need to exchange simple command/reply sequences, receive asynchronous events, and se...

Hi all, I'm thinking about a new board for JOP (or MB, NIOS). The board should be small and cheap (below the S3 Starter Kit). It should only contain the absolute necessary parts for a CPU design. Here is the suggested part list: FPGA: Cyclone EP1C3 or Spartan XC3S200 256Kx16 15ns SRAM 2 MBit serial Flash 3.3V linear regulation switching regulator for the core voltag...

Hello - I'm venturing into a PC104 project and have few questions to start off. I have no experience with PC104 whatsoever. The goal is for a PC104 module to talk to another board with an FPGA on it. Questions are: 1. Can I use any version of Linux on the PC104 ? 2. To save time, I hope to use the PC104 in 8-bit mode. Does anyone see a problem with this approach ? 3. Does anyone hav...

Hi folks, I have been introduced to a project where I have to implement a TFT display controlller on a low-cost FPGA like Spartan-3 or Spartan-6. The controller has to support at least XGA - 1024x768, SXGA - 1280x1024, UXGA - 1600x1200 and WUXGA 1920x1200. I have to chose an appropriate platform now. As I am a total newbie in the field of image processing on FPGAs I would ask you for ...

Hi everybody, First off all...sorry for cross posting this to both arch.fpga and arch.embedded, but I think it fits in both places. I'm currently in the selection fase of an FPGA vendor. we need a > 2M gate chip with DSP capabilities, SERDES and offcourse the mandatory low cost. Likewise we need a high performance embedded CPU softcore for system management. At the moment things are point

Hello everyone, I'm working on a project that requires sending pixel data from an fpga to a PC, RS232 would be fine but Ethernet is also considered. (need to create a bit file to process the image in the PC). Any VHDL code reference for the transmission process and any advice on generating the bit file would be highly appreciated. Thanks,

Hello, The company I work for is used to making its own custom boards (mainly FPGA-centric) but this is time consuming and expensive, so we're looking at moving more and more to COTS. Ideally, we would like to use a standard interconnect bus so that we can mix and match cards from different manufacturers to assemble a complete system, and possibly build our own expansion cards if necess...

Hello all, We are trying to decide whether or not to purchase a cheap USB host controller to handle a single peripheral device or setup a Spartan 3E 500 gate FPGA to act as the host. .. we are relatively sure that trying to implement Host code on a spartan 3E is a terrible idea... but cannot actually confirm why other than common sense. Could you guys help us out with some reasons why th...
