RE: [avr-gcc-list] Programming Atmel FPGAs from AVR?

2007-05-21 Thread Matt.VanDeWerken
Hi Rick: I too am interested in this topic. I have a board that has an AVR and an Altera FPGA on it, which at the moment I need to program separately. Some options I've thought of: 1. Daisy-chain the JTAG from the Mega128 to the Altera. This doesn't seem to work, I believe it's due to the AVR

RE: [avr-gcc-list] Multi-core AVR?

Perhaps an alternative is to roll your own multi-core processor with an FPGA and some of the many 8-bit processor cores running around. This has the advantage of you being able to select different processors for different purposes, and also to choose the internal bussing mechanism. Cheers,

[avr-gcc-list] Variable __data_end variable not passed through to linker for use in __heap_start?

Hi all: I am running winavr 2006*, on an atmega128 with 32k of XRAM mapped to 0x8000-0x. I would like the .bss memory section to be allocated by the linker in the internal RAM, while I'd like the .data section and the __malloc_heap_start to both be in XRAM. .bss being in IRAM is not really

Having solved all that, I wanted to add an auto-incrementing build number to the build process, which lives in program memory. Here's how I did it: I made a buildnumber file, as follows: buildnumber: =8-- # This is the current build

I have the same problem, and the point is that part of my external memory is inside an FPGA, basically under control of the FPGA (It's high-speed ADC data), while another part is external SRAM which I use for my heap etc. I access the FPGA memory at the moment using pointers which I initialise

Hi David/avr-gcc list: The __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros as mentioned by others in this thread are useful for timestamps. However, I'm having a problem getting my head around the following: Suppose I create a version.c file, that contains those macros as progmem strings, like this: const

Apologies for the continuation of the off-topic thread, but anyway: In my application I use an AVR with an Altera FPGA to control some ADCs, and do other stuff. The ADC result is memory-mapped on the external bus of the AVR, which works well. The FPGA also performs many other functions, which are
