Hi, I'm developing a system based on Xilinx MPSoC chip, where multiple functionalities are controlled by AXI GPIO blocks. All those GPIO pins are accessible via sysfs interface. However, it is difficult to find the gpio chip and pin numbers from running Linux system. In the HDL design, the GPIO blocks are described by their names, but unfortunately those names are not propagated to

We have developed data acquisition system which uses Cypress FX2 as the USB 2.0 interface. State machine for control and conversion of data between AD converters and FX2 is implemented using Xilinx Spartan 2 FPGA. The problem is that with higher data rates (up to 25 Mbit/s) we experience FX2 internal FIFO stalls and missing data on the receiving side. Small FIFO implemented inside FPGA d...

Hi, In my design I want to use the compact flash interface to my processor in FPGA. In the development board ACE controller is in between compact Flash and processor. I think the power PC access the ace controller for all read of Flash. Are there anyways I can make this flash as just memory device (PROM), and access without ACE controller. I'd seen some articles saying usage of flash as non ...

I'm trying to implement an OV7620 sensor on a Spartan 3 (Xilinx FPGA) to display on VGA, the problem is to syncronize the sensor data with VGA exit. The sensor is already programed to send data in progressive mode by 2 channels: channel Y G G G G channel UV B R B R Please, somebody can tell me how to syncronize with a monitor to display data on VGA? Regards!!!

Hi, I need to develop a embedded hardware (with a FPGA, example Xilinx(R) Spartan-3AN FPGA) capable of IDENTIFY what kind of USB web cam is plugged-in (example webcam manufacturer, speed, data transfer rate, etc.), the USB will work with USB 1.0 or USB 1.1 (not USB 2.0) so a USB 2.0 web cam will work at USB 1.1. Due this is a embedded design, no computer interaction is required (this means that th...

Hello all, I am working on a project which involves a simple BRAM, OPB-PLB, Microblaze/PPC, and opb_ddr_sdram controller. I am reading 1280 bytes of data from bram (32 bits each read, thus a total of 320 reads) and writing it to DDR sdram. i am using Xilinx standalone OS. i use the command XIo_in32(addr) to read from bram and use XIo_out32(addr,data) to write to DDR sdram controller. h...
