I would like to automatically embed the Xilinx compile (synthesize) time into my FPGA. I have a script file that can put the time and date into my Verilog code. I would like to automatically call that script file from the Xilinx ISE everytime i run the synthesizer. Is there anyway for the ISE to call an outside routine (other than running the whole thing from a command line without the IS...

Hi Guys, I am new to Xilinx tools. I am facing some problem while creating the "Base system Builder project" for ML403 Rev B board. The steps as follows: 1. I have downloaded the "ml403_emb_ref_ppc_81.zip" from Xilinx website. 2. I have used the tools EDK10.SP2 and ISE10.1SP4. Problem: When I am creating the base system builder project. I am able to see the UART_LITE, XPS_UARTLITE,...

I've just realized that the box causing one of my shelves to bow down in the middle is a complete Xilinx ML403 PowerPC+FPGA evaluation kit, with the USB-JTAG adapter and all the other goodies that it originally included. It's vanishingly unlikely that I'll ever use it again. I guess I should list it on eBay; anyone have an idea what it's worth? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I would like to know if we can use a general purpose (available off-the-shelf at popular stores) USB to JTAG cable to program a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA or does it *have to be* a cable (and box) specifically meant for programming a Spartan 3 FPGA (as shown on the Xilinx website)? I am hoping to hear from people who have actually used a general purpose USB to JTAG cable (...

Hi all, First please forgive me for my little knowledge about embedded system. I am trying to design an embedded application on a Xilinx FPGA Virtex-4 series. This has PPC405 core on it. Now i am trying to write an application as IP. Lets say a simple SPI cotroller. I know i have to interface this with PLB (Porcessor Local Bus) using IPIF module provided by Xilinx in EDK. What i am missing...

I have been having issues using the Xilinx Lwip library. I checked out their example code for the web server and was unable to figure out where they were getting the lwip_init function from. The compiler was telling me that the function couldn't be found. It would be great if someone had some sample code or if someone could just start by telling me what I need to include to get the lwip_in...

I'd appreciate if someone could answer a few questions below: If you reply by email, REMOVE "SPAMNOMORE" in capital letters repeated in my address twice (edit address manually)!!! We ordered "Xilinx Virtex-Pro II" development kit, your answers will NOT change buying decisions - it?s already here, we need to know: 1. Is it possible to put either Linux or Nucleus RTOS into this chip memor...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new in the FPGA and embedded area, and I'm working in an application using the Xilinx ML403 board, and the Xilinx tools ISE and EDK 10.1. I have some questions about that. -Is it possible to get the calendar time from the PPC? I need to generate a time stamp, and I was trying to use the standard c library . I'm using the standard approach like time_t no

First off I am new to JTAG emulation. I am required to program a Xilinx configuration PROM from a microcontroller. I realize that I can program the PROM with a cable from the parallel port but the product will require field upgrades. I've been sifting through docs from Xilinx and searching the web, and it seems like this should be easy and straight forward to implement. What I have learn...

I have been having problems with using the power pc linker for stuff for my Xilinx board. When I use C++ it doesn't recognize virtual functions properly and says that it can not find the functions. This code has been tested and has worked since 2003 in my company so we are sure the code is not at fault. I also tested the code on Solaris and it worked just fine. In any event, I would lik...

It seems all they care are who you are, what company you work with, what you exactly are you doing. In other words, how many parts are y...

Dear Group, I=B4m new to FPGA, i.e. I=B4m about to start... Can anyone suggest a good development board for starters, or give me some advice as to whether I should choose Xilinx or Altera... Is development on Altera / Xilinx much different from each other? Is it like PIC vs AVR vs Motorola??? best regards t=2E

Hi, I'm looking for advice to implement on my FPGA (Xilinx SPARTAN 3A) a VHDL interface with an external COLDFIRE processor. Due to hardware considerations (not mine) I need to use 9 bits of address and 16 bits of datas, The following signals are available on my incoming pinout : TA, TEA, CS1, IRQ1 and R/W. Has anybody a clue where I can get some VHDL/Verilog code to help me? Thanks in adv...

In the 1990s I used a Xilinx-only version of DOS Viewlogic, version 4 I think. Viewlogic was hacked so that schematic files created in the unrestricted version could not be opened in the restricted version(s). However, somebody developed a program called sneaky.exe which patched the schematic file, to enable it to be opened. I have been chucking out a large quantity of 5.25" disks with...

I've been asked to write a couple of real-life up-and-running articles about working with the Xilinx PPC/Microblaze kit (ML403 board) consisting of a meaty FPGA with PowerPC 405 hard core. I'll have a loaner kit with the option to buy. Has anyone here worked with this kit? The documentation is a bit vague about what exactly comes with the board, software-wise. Specifically: They talk about...
