Learn how to fix timing errors in your FPGA design. I show a Verilog example that fails to meet timing, then show how to pipeline the code to make it meet timing once again. Breaking up your logic into smaller operations will help lower propagation delay and get your design to run through the Place and Route part of the Synthesis tools correctly.

  • @Polprzewodnikowy
    @Polprzewodnikowy Месяц назад

    FPGA design software is still a joke in year 2024, no matter if it's from big players (Xilinx/Altera/Lattice) or lesser known like Efinix. Every single one FPGA manufacturer has this stupid license requirement that can change at any time, because they know there are no alternatives. And Lattice actually proved this can and *will* happen eventually. I have a Lattice Diamond project designed for the MachXO2 and I'm now concerned that I might some day just lose any ability to work on it. I still need to renew "free license" for Diamond every year. I really wish they were forced to publish all relevant documentation so free open source software could do better job than manufacturers. Not to mention Diamond being so bad and behind any other tool that doing any timing analysis is the worst nightmare. Yosys and everything around it is very promising but it obviously doesn't support anything less popular. I can just imagine how hard is to reverse engineer bitstreams for every single new FPGA family. Huge kudos for anyone who's doing this without documentation from the manufacturer.

    • @lawrencemanning
      @lawrencemanning Месяц назад

      They shouldn’t be forced to do anything, that’s crazy. It’s all property owned by them. It’s just how it is and needs to be factored into the business (or otherwise) risk. It’s exactly the same for other types of tech like MCUs or even folks writing “modern” cloud web applications. I use Yosys for my projects. Previously I used quartus. This is just hobby stuff. I wish Yosys was available for older Altera parts, but I’ll use it where I can, as everyone should.

    • @Polprzewodnikowy
      @Polprzewodnikowy Месяц назад

      Sorry but I strongly disagree, especially when you mention MCUs. I can use GCC based toolchain with vast majority of microcontrollers, all I need is memory map and peripheral documentation. FPGAs are nowhere near this level of freedom because bitstream format is just a black box, not documented at all. But this will never change with the "protecting the business" mentality. Other industries already adopted open source technology to a great benefit. Wish this will happen to the FPGA industry.

    • @lawrencemanning
      @lawrencemanning Месяц назад

      It was only your bit about being forced into a particular behaviour I disagree with. The free market doesn’t work like that. What I don’t understand is how they are damaged by releasing this information, but it’s for them to choose as it is their property. We are still in a much better situation than we were a decade ago with this stuff. There was literally no alternate than proprietary software, for any programmable logic part. Maybe eventually they will see the logic in open sourcing these tools.

  • @PiotrEsdenTempski
    @PiotrEsdenTempski Месяц назад

    @nandland You might want to document the use of the open tools (Yosys, nextpnr, icestorm) for your book as a solution. I personally find it easier to use than the iCEcube2 software. It is very mature for the iCE40 lineup of parts, I did several production projects with it. There was no need to even consider using iCEcube2 as far as I am concerned, especially because the open tools can be used as part of the CI system.

  • @SvenneKrap
