Advice on Xilinx Spelunking
I've got a Spartan 6 design that I'm working with under ISE 11.5. A code block that I would expect to take up about 200 LUTs is taking 800 instead. 600 LUTs wouldn't be the end of the world, except I'm planning to replicate this block 32 times, which puts me well over the top. So the question becomes where a... 28 May 2010 19:15

mux behavior
Hi, how does an (unclocked) 2:1 multiplexer behave if input B is selected and input A becomes metastable ? Does the metastability of A have an influence on the stability of the mux output at any point of time ? cheers, hssig ... 25 May 2010 16:50

About CLB inter-slice communication in Virtex
In the Virtex 4 FPGA, slices within a CLB are interconnected with each other. However, in Virtex 5 and Virtex 6, there is no direct connection between slices of a CLB. Why was this change made? Thanks --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.FPGARelated.com ... 24 May 2010 07:56

Do Xilinx really want people to report INTERNAL_ERRORs?
.... because it certainly seems like they don't. A couple of minutes ago, I made some changes to my project which made the synthesizer fall flat on its face: INTERNAL_ERROR:Xst:cmain.c:3464:1.56: Process will terminate. For technical support on this issue, please open a WebCase with this project attached at... 23 May 2010 20:07

Last Xilinx Webpack that was big-brother free?
Call me a sadist, but I tend to cruise through the license agreements and EULAs before installing software to make sure I'm not being victimized by using someone's application. I wanted to bring my S3E starter kit back up to prototype Xilinx-based algorithms while employed by a particularly Altera-friendly group. ... 30 May 2010 11:05

Does anybody have any XC6V130T-2FFG1156CES's available? Even used on a boad would be acceptable. I don't think the non-ES parts have been released yet... ... 21 May 2010 19:26

can I do image processing using 8bit color output FPGA board?
Hi, I have a Spartan 3E FPGA starter board of 100K gates. I just want to do some basic image processing such as dead pixel correction(I just use black&white images), there is only 8 bits color output and only a Flash ROM embedded. I want to read RAW format file in which includ the pixel information, after simple pr... 21 May 2010 22:42
