Overview

The ChipScope™ PLB IBA core is a specialized Bus Analyzer core designed to debug embedded systems that contain the IBM CoreConnect™ Processor Local Bus (PLB) version 4.6. The ChipScope PLB46 IBA core in EDK is based on a Tcl script that generates an HDL wrapper to the PLB IBA and calls the ChipScope Core Generator to generate the netlist based on user parameters.

Key features

  • Probes the master, slave, arbiter, and error status signals of the PLBv46 bus
  • Probes the PLBv46 OR'ed slave signals
  • Automatically adjusts ports to the PLBv46 bus width
  • Separates master, slave, and error status signals into independent match units which can be enabled or disabled by a design parameter
  • Allows independent enabling or disabling of probed master, slave, and error status signals for data capture
  • Supports trigger port customization by a design parameter

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.

How to maximize FPGA performance

The more that can be done upfront with good coding styles, timing constraints definition, and resource planning, the easier it will be for the downstream tools to achieve timing requirements.
