Tom Golubev's Leon3 Based Logic Analyzer
Using NIOSII Cyclone dev board
Leon3 grlib-gpl-1.0.20-b3403
FPGA Usage (1): EP1C20F400C7 Configuration: LUT Usage (%) Mem Usage (%) System MHz (1) Default: noFpu, noMMU 56 % 36 % 135.9 (2) noFPU, MMU 65 % 37 % 134.8 (3) Bare 38 % 18 % 126.1
(1) Command Used: make distclean && time `make synplify && make quartus-synp`
Design Questions
1) How easy is it to have mixed VHDL / Verilog Design using Synplify?
2) How much throughput is needed?
3) Which bus to use? AHB, APB? or tightly couple to proc (difficult)
Wishbone / AHB / CoreConnect http://es.elfak.ni.ac.yu/Papers/ICEST%20'06.pdf BEE2 Leon2 ahb bus explanationhttp://cadlab.cs.ucla.edu/software_release/bee2leon3port/files/Timothy_Wong-MS_Report.pdf
==AMBA BUS Notes:== (From 1999 ARM ihi 0011A Document)
AMBA signal names
All AMBA signals are named such that the first letter of the name indicates which bus
the signal is associated with. A lower case n in the signal name indicates that the signal
is active LOW, otherwise signal names are always all upper case.
Test signals have a prefix T regardless of the bus type. More information on test signals
can be found in Chapter 6 AMBA Test Methodology.
