Using XILINX XPS with Microblaze - quickest way to program the fpga
I'm designing a micro controller based around the microblaze microprocessor on a xilinx fpga. Most of the hardware setup is done. All I'm updating at this point is the c code to be run on the microblaze. Is there a way in XPS to not have to rebuild…

Does aborting a partial FPGA reconfiguration possibly result in an undefined state?
I'm working on a reconfiguration controller for a reconfigurable CPU. One of the features I tried to implement is to handle CRC errors properly, and also to allow for aborts during reconfiguration. I am using a Virtex7 board and as described in…

How to use an OLED display for an Avnet Virtex4?
I have an Avnet ADS-XLX-V4FX-EVL12-G (Virtex4 Evaluation Board) with
OLED display. I used Xilinx EDK 10.1 with Xilinx Platform Studio 10.1
and succeded to upload some basic app to the board (serial
communication).
Now I would like to use the OLED…

Flip-Flop triggered on the edge of two signals
I need a flip flop that reacts on the edges of two different signals. Something like this:
if(rising_edge(sig1)) then
bit <= '0';
elsif(rising_edge(sig2)) then
bit <= '1';
end if;
Does such a flip flop exist or is there some other technique…

How do I verify readback data on a Xilinx Virtex 5?
I know it talks about it in the configuration guide, but it seems like a pain to verify it visually. Are there any tools available to automatically verify readback data?

How do I read the status register of a Virtex 5 in a JTAG chain?
I'm working on an XUPV5-LX110T and I'm trying to read the status register over JTAG. I'm getting incorrect data, but I can't see why. I seem to be getting all zeros.
I suspect it has to do with the order of the JTAG chain, but I'm not sure how I…

Why isn't this VHDL inferring BRAM in XST?
I have an array of vectors that I want to be stored in Block RAM on a Virtex-5 using ISE 13.4. It is 32Kb which should fit in 1 BRAM but it is all being stored in logic. My system uses an AMBA APB bus so I check for a select line and an enable line.…

Reaching clock regions using BUFIO and BUFG
I need to realize a source-synchronous receiver in a Virtex 6 that receives data and a clock from a high speed ADC.
For the SERDES Module I need two clocks, that are basically the incoming clock, buffered by BUFIO and BUFR (recommended). I hope my…

Xilinx Virtex6 block ram width
I'm confused about Virtex-6 BlockRAM.
I want to implement a BRAM with 15 bit address (32,768 words) and 12 bit write and read data per word. When I explore the implemented design, I founded that 12 BlockRAM are used for this. Does this mean each…
