Andrei, well you are correct, using EDK9.1SP2 I created a custome design for ML405 and implemented it. My design was exactly the same as what xapp941 presents.
I have not access to ML405, but examining implementation results for two designs it is obvious that they are different. logic resource usage for xapp941 is over 6000 slices but for the custome design it is near 5700 slices. In addition the fan out value for PLB TEMAC clock is near 5000 for xapp941 and near 3000 for our custome design. this means that plb temac module in xapp941 is much larger than our plb temac module. I examined the MHS files for both designs carefully, they are really the same. Of course it seems that the mhs file for xapp941 is edited by hand or at least is not created by the usual method we use. This is because signal names and module names are completely different from an automatic EDK9.1 generated design. Finally why not ask the two authors of this app note about what they have done in their desing? is it some kind of secret? and have you ever tried using ngc file for plb temac of xapp941 in a custome design? .... should not be really neccessary of course. ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 22:18:52 +0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Virtex 4 Avnet Mini-Module Networking. > > Mohammad Sadegh Sadri wrote: > > > > very interesting > > > > the provided xps project from xapp941 results 230Mbits but your custome > > system is 83.0Mbits, yes? > > yes > > > just, are you sure the ppc core has the same core clock frequency in both > > designs?
