Dear all,
how do I configure a maximum sized Block Memory on my FPGA Target and what is the allocated memory size?
The Documentation states:
NI PXI-7853R : On-Board Memory 384 kB
Short Specs : Embedded block RAM 3,456 kbits
384 kB = 393216 Byte
3456 kbit = 432000 Byte
What's the deal here?
Configuration Dialog for Memory in FPGA Project
Datatype U8
"Requested number of elements" : max. 4294967295 (Value stays even if higher value is entered, seems to be a 32bit overflow)
Actual number of elements: 134217728 (no Idea what this number means).
I am simply assuming 393216 or 432000 is the max. number of Bytes I can enter?
Eventually there is a build error (xilinx error) regarding the ram size if the number is higher.
However if there's no error (eg using 393216) the build process (usually 10 minutes) does pass "generating xilinx ip" within 15 minutes .
I don't want to continue guessing, so what is the number I enter in the Memory Configuration Dialog for max. Memory ?
Regards
Christoph
