I can't offer any specific help. However, note that xr16 (www.fpgacpu.org/xsoc/xr16.html) is optimized for Xilinx XC4000E and derivatives. In particular, it uses distributed select RAM a.k.a. LUT RAM for its 2r1w register file. Without some rework, I don't think xr16 is a great fit for Altera FPGAs. If you are targeting Altera, consider Nios (http://www.altera.com/products/devices/nios/nio-index.html) and the Nios Dev Kit. I believe it should be possible (and perhaps even easy) to configure a multiprocessor system using SOPC Builder. Jan Gray, Gray Research LLC |
