suraj is planning on hardening the yellow block cores
so that their routing/timing is locked down, independent
of what else is running in the fpga.

Please don't make this the default behaviour. On designs that are nearly fully packed (99%), you need to be able to twiddle every part of the design to make it fit, and sometimes that means re-arranging the yellow blocks' innards. Part of the BEE2 DRAM controller was hard- routed and it caused complications when the chip got full.

Hi John,

I don't think anyone has been able to get a spectrometer working at the full 3GS/s interleaved yet. The best Suraj and I have been able to do is about 2.4Gs/s before we start running into serious timing issues. We do have plans to meet soon with a Xilinx timing expert in the hopes of resolving our issues.

Hi all.

Has anyone done a 6 GS/s spectrometer using 2 interleaved 3 GS/s ADC
boards on a ROACH? I seem to recall someone doing something of the sort,
but I don't recall any details.

Thanks for any info!

John
