Memory Interface Generator

Started by mlin September 17, 2009
Hi,

I am using MIG v2.1 that targets spartan 3 starter kit. I want to know, if
sram on the starter board could be accessed using MIG and if the MIG is
used for accessing memory development boards?

Thanks in advance!

MIG is for talking to DRAMs, which are complicated. SRAM is easy: there are data lines and address lines and it just does what you ask it to. The interface is trivial enough to implement that I'd be surprised if anyone has a core to do it; it would mostly just be wires. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology Email address is currently out of order

Thank you so much. Could you please clear my other doubt? How do I send address and data to the SRAM? Thanks. --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.fpga web interface on http://www.FPGARelated.com
Why dont you just read the data sheet on the device? Generally you just set
the address and data you want and then set the write enable (all
synchronous with the clock). Nothing more to it really

You gotta be kidding I hope? 

If not, then is the state of college students is getting poorer by the
year?
