Re: [casper] about the shift input of FFT

2009-06-22 Thread Andrew Martens
Hi Wan My lack of documentation has caught up with me :) Each stage in the FFT has a certain number of coefficients as well as a block that delays input data for a length of samples. These coefficients and delays can be implemented in distributed RAM or block RAMs (BRAMs). For very few coefficien

Hi Andrew: Thanks for your information. I am still not sure on next two options in fft_wideband_real: Number bits above which to store stage's coeffcients in BRAM Number bits above which to store stage's delay in BRAM Thanks Wan From: Andrew Martens [mailto:ma

On 10GbEv2 it is 8192, plus UDP and IP headers etc. But there would be no space for your application headers. When we specc'd it originally, the thought here was that 8192b is the closest power-of-2 for BRAM sizing to that same 9216b limit for most NICs. If we wanted to get to 9000, we'd ha

[casper] maximum 10 GbE packet size

2009-06-22 Thread John Ford
Hi. Does anybody know the actual limit on packet size for the original xilinx and the V2 10 GbE cores? The documents say something vague like "about 8k bytes", but is there a known hard limit to the packet size in each case? We want to package up 8K (8192) bytes of data + a few words of framing,

Hi Wan et al The 'convert with overflow indication', convert_of is now fixed and the change propagated to the FFT subsection in the library so the FFT blocks should now accurately indicate if an overflow occured. Please do an update to get these changes. Note that the overflow bit does not go high

Hi Wan The overflow block that generates the overflow output does not currently work properly, fixing it keeps slipping my mind. I will fix it as soon as I can. The FFT needs the same number of bits as there are stages i.e 5 stage = 5 bits. If you give it more it will just slice off the ones it n

Hi Andrew: Now I can find the OF output from FFT module is high. Does this mean the FFT is overflow? But I already set all shift bit to '1'. I an not very sure how many shift bits the FFT module has. I just give it 32 bits width '1'. Thanks Wan From: Andrew M
