The FPGA equivalent is to do a syntax check and correct any errors there, then run a simulation of the input (if using VHDL or Verilog) to ensure the logic design seems to be OK. You then compile it, and then run the simulation on the output of the compiler, because it will sometimes

Hi Bob ( others),Once you get into it, you'll probably find that FPGA programming is not that difficult, and, given the power of the tools, can be much less frustrating than straight digital design. I was dragged into the Verilog world a few years ago for work, and have been using the

Fellow Xyloeans, Last night I managed to get audio from the Wolfson A/D, via the FPGA and FX2 over the USB2 at 480Mbps to the PC and out over PortAudio to the speakers. For some reason PortAudio would hang after a few seconds but it was late at night and not the time to start debugging.

Hi Phil, Good deal, sounds great! I am curious what sampling rate you were running the Wolfson chip at and whether your were doing both channels or just one for now? Also, what did you decide on for synchronization of the audio frames between left and right channels? 73 de Phil N8VB On

Hi Phil, I used 48kbps and 16 bit samples to keep things simple for the first test. I also just used the left audio channel and the blocking version of the PortAudio code - again a simple first test. I was looking at using one of the 2^n A/D states as a flag to indicate the next data word

Phil, Are you saying that you will modify any zero sample by one count to guarantee uniqueness of the sync? Also, it would seem that you would not want to reduce bandwidth by 1/3 to sync every stereo sample. I sync only once every 500 channels in a larger system in the same manner with no
