12:19 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Using the EMIFA to read/write FPGA registers
Well the wiki says CS5 is used for the DSP, but when I look at the VHDL it says CS4. Marc Lichtman
12:15 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Using the EMIFA to read/write FPGA registers
Marc,
Are you using CS4 or CS5?
0x66000000 corresponds to CS5.
