dear Arnaud,
Thanks for the last details.
[Q1] That depends on the carrier. On the VC707, StellarIP should be able to either tied the logic on HPC1 or HPC2. Open the 244_ .dsn in StellarIP, accept the next message box and then double click on sip_fmc126. There you will see an "Index" field set to 0. Changing that to 1 will make StellarIP to create a firmware for HPC2 when you press Generate. You can check both (index=0 and index=1) UCF output they will be slightly different.
OK, thanks for the details. I will generate new bitstream for my config and test it.
As far as FMC204 on VC707 is concerned, only HPC1 is supported so the "Index" field wont work here.
I see. In my design, FMC204 will be located on HPC1, so it's consistent with 4DSP specs.
That should work out just fine. But I must admit we haven't tried this FMC126/FMC204 combo. The FMC170 seems like a good alternative to this combo.
I intend to :
1- generate .bit for FMC126 on HPC2 (index = 1). Then test, with HPC1 empty.
2- test FMC204 on HPC1, with HPC2 empty, using 4DSP available .bit
3- developing a StellarIP model with both FM216 + FMC204 and test it.
[Q4] That's fine indeed. If you desire a dedicated forum for your lab instead I can arrange that, let me know.
I could use the existing CNRS forum. Do you agree ?
It would prevent from creating a new forum only for my lab.
Or you could create a "sub-forum" Inside CNRS forum...
but yes, I would rather prefer to be located in a dedicated area, if possible and allowed.
Regards.
