Hi all,
just to report that even some of our ROACH-1's Xport dead suddenly
loosing the great functions of remote power on/off ;(
We thought the same solution to use a low cost controller but not yet
implemented. We will do it when the new Roach2 rack will be ready.
Cheers,
Andrea

Hi all,
This is something I've been fighting with for a while now, and I wonder if
anyone on this maillist has any insight (because I'm pretty sure I may just
be doing something wrong with the tools).
The problem:
I'm playing with a ROACH2 design that (sometimes) compiles at 312 MHz.
However,
Hi Jack,
Not sure if this will help, but in Planahead I would try to click and drag
that LUT as close as possible to each of the outputs. And if that doesn't
help or makes it worse, you could also try to duplicate the logic going to
each of those outputs, forcing separate LUTs to be used.
Hi, Jack,
Are the tools are optimizing for area instead of speed? Are you using Pblocks?
I don't know if this is relevant to your situation, but I've run into
annoyances when the tools use equivalent register removal to save a few
flip-flops but end up causing fan-out/routing issues. That
Hey Mark,
Yeah, I guess I could manually force the locations of the two offending
shift-regs to stop the combination, but the problem SRLs seem to be a
fairly arbitrary selection of those in the design. I don't really want to
have to start constraining at the LUT level if I can help it. But maybe
Hi Jack,
In Simulink if have seen similar issues when trying to add more register
pipelining, to decrease routing delay's and thus increase Fmax.
However, ISE just collapses all the pipelining into a single SRL, which
yields the frustrations you mentioned.
You can prevent this from happening, by
I often re-run XST with:
register_balancing yes
optimize_primitives yes
read_cores yes
shreg_extract no
shreg_extract prevents adjacent registers from being combined into SRL16s.
