xilinx

Hi all,

I have a very simple VHDL module, consisting of a few lines of code. The thing is, when I generate the bitstream, I end up with a huge bitstream. The reason for this is, I guess, that XST adds lots of extra information so that the bitstream can run standalone on a FPGA.

However, for my purpose it would be interesting to see the size of the bitstream of the module alone without any extra bits and pieces, just the vaniall module alone. Is there an option in Xilinx ISE 12.1 that allows me to do that?

Many thanks, Richi

Hey, Quick VHDL question, I don't have access to Xilinx at the moment due to dead laptop, so can't test this. I was wondering if it's possible to use variables and arithmetic in 'downto' statements, e.g: proc: process (x) begin y <= z(x downto 0) & z(7 downto x); end process; Thanks. >>> More

I did a behavioral simulation of my code, and it works perfectly. The results are as predicted. When I synthesize my code and upload it to a spartan 3e FPGA and try to analyze using chipscope, the results are not even close to what I would have expected.
