Also, I'm trying to by pass the SGDMA dispatcher and use the write master directly.

DV 04:57 PM FPGA Development: RE: HPS Memory Controller

Hi Jack,
Looking in the SGDMA dispatcher core user guide, it appears that if you use the extended descriptors you can set the write stride to zero, which would allow you to continuous write to the same address.
What is your require... Daniel Vincelette

Hi Dan,
Regarding the SGDMA Write Master Core. I looked through the document for this core and it doesn't give any information on these questions.
For the write command sink port, what exactly is the purpose of "write stride" (91-7... Anonymous

Jack,
We do not currently have an example that uses a non-packetized Avalon stream. There should be an option in the SGDMA controller to disable packets but we haven't tried to use it.
Dan Daniel Vincelette

03:22 PM FPGA Development: RE: HPS Memory Controller

Hi,
Do you have any write to HPS memory examples where I can send data into the memory in a continuous stream rather than a packet at a time?
Thanks!

Glad to hear you got it working.

Hi Dan,
Yes it works with the rbf file and it works when I program it in Linux. No problems there.
I managed to get it programming with the JTAG.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi Jack,
Follow these steps to correct the ethernet:

DV 12:56 PM FPGA Development: RE: Load FPGA Timeout Error

Hi Jack,
I'm not sure what else to try other than trying to program the FPGA through a JTAG pod, which I believe you said you don't have, or sending it back for an RMA.

Hi Dan,
I did what Adam suggested and it made no difference. I tried it without anything plugged in and still nothing.
Jack Anonymous

DV 01:21 PM FPGA Development: RE: Load FPGA Timeout Error

Currently I do not believe that is the case, seeing as this problem is happening in both uboot and linux.
Have you tried programming the FPGA without anything else plugged in (such as a HSMC card) and setting the MSEL like Adam advise... Daniel Vincelette

Could this be a OS issue that's causing it?

Your MSEL is currently 00000. Try changing S100-position3 to OFF to get an MSEL[4:0] of 00100. This will change the power-on reset delay to Standard instead of Fast.
To read the switch settings, note the white labels in silkscreen on... Adam Dziedzic

DV 03:11 PM FPGA Development: RE: Load FPGA Timeout Error

Looking through the uboot source code it seems that the HPS is not able to set the FPGA into a reset mode. Which could possibly be a hardware issue. One last test is if you have an HSMC board connected, unplug it and try to load the FPGA... Daniel Vincelette

DV 02:29 PM FPGA Development: RE: Load FPGA Timeout Error

Hi Jack,
This needs to be run during uboot, which you get to by pressing any key during the first 5 seconds of start up. If you are able to load it through uboot then that should factor out a hardware issue.

Hi Dan,
The Linux OS on the board doesn't have run and saveenv. I tried to update it, but it doesn't have the apt-get command either.

Hi Adam,
I'm not sure what the default positions for the MSEL or which of the switches on board are for the MSEL. So here's a picture.
Thanks,

AD 12:23 PM FPGA Development: RE: Load FPGA Timeout Error

Hi Jack,
Please check the MSEL dip switches. These should be set to FPPx16 or FPPx32 for the FPGA Manager to be able to load the FPGA. Those pins are read at power-on. MSEL details can be found in:

Hi Dan,
The same issue still occurs after power cycling.
I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.

Hi Jack,
We have not seen this issue yet. If you power cycle the board did this issue still occur?
