02:57 PM FPGA Development: RE: Critical link bit file
It looks like it works once I tri-stated the wait signals I can not reproduce the problem.
I sent a new file to ou...
John Mladenik
01:22 PM FPGA Development: RE: Critical link bit file
We only use CS2 and the IO_EMA_D bus is only driven when CS2 and OE are active.
I have the wait signals driven h...

04:08 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA Unused Pins
Thanks John Mladenik
03:47 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA Unused Pins
Hi John,
In general, you should tri-state / float all unused pins on the FPGA. This will result in those pins beh...
Michael Williamson
01:55 PM FPGA Development: FPGA Unused Pins
Did you have to do anything special to the unused EMIFA pins like
I_EMA_CS0_N
I_EMA_CS3_N
I_EMA_CS5_N
