Switching between the signals

J

john

Hello,

I have interfaced a CPLD to a SRAM. The SRAM has 19 bit of address bus

and 18 bit of data bus. I am using 14 bit of Address bus and 14 bit of

data bus. I am having problem implementing the following algorithm

I have to generate a 14 bit address from the CPLD and retrived the 14
bit data

After getting the data, I have to copy or replace the data with the
address bus

and then retrieve new data and send it out of the CPLD. I have to
switch between

Address and data buses. Switching between the buses is the main
problem!!

I used multiplexer but its not working for me. Please Advice me some
other techniques or

i am also attaching the code that What I did..

Thanks.
Regards
John

Please read http://www.designabstraction.co.uk/HTML/articles.htm,
especally the part about unecesary levels of hierarchy and splitting
data- and control-path. Don't write your code as if you're wiring a
board full of standard logical components from the 7400 TTL family.
i am also attaching the code that What I did..

It is very hard to read, not only by the coding style. What editor did
you use? I see a lot of space characters with their MSB set (hex value
A0 in stead of 20).

One thing I noticed is that somewhere you assign NULL to a signal,
presumably to describe that the signal should not change. In that case,
just leave out the assignment all together.

Paul.

Hello,

I tried to fix the Reading problem of the code. i hope that It will be
allright now! I read the literature u mentioned but could not apply it
to my problem. Where am I am misusing the hirarchery or mixing control
and data path. You are right that I designed it like connecting the
74LS00 chips on the circuit board but I do not understand whats wrong
with that! Would you please give me some simple examples or mistake in
my code so that I can fix the problem...
Thanks

Don't just hope. Simulate! Check the functionality of your code by
applying stimuli and check the result against your requirements.
I read the literature u mentioned but could not apply it
to my problem.

Read the part about the UART design again.

You're code will be hard to understand and hard to maintain. The
intention of the code is not obvious.

And if you do need a latch, a simple process will suffice. There's no
need to create a separate entity for that.
Would you please give me some simple examples or mistake in
my code so that I can fix the problem...
Click to expand...

I still think you should read
http://www.designabstraction.co.uk/Articles/Advanced Synthesis Techniques.htm
once again. The example is quite simple (UART design) yet not too
trivial to make the point. The point being: "Many HDL Designers write
RTL code at a much lower level of abstraction than is actually necessary
to achieve the desired end".

Well, I should develop a serial port interface.
I have to receive one block of (32+32+3)bit, and after 1ms I have to
send one block of 32bit. I work with spartanII board.


Do anyone can help me?

Roberto
