Erroneous compiler warnings in NNDK Rel23 RC7a

I am getting some warnings for errors which don't exist. For example in this function it warns me that iLed is an unused variable :!: Yet it is clearly assigned in the initialisation of the 'for' loop and accessed in the body. // Clear Screen to background colour void CPanelCfg::ClearScreenBg() { in...

How to access 128k 8bit SDRAM with only 16bit adr bus ?

Will the following method work to access 128k of byte wide SDRAM using the MOD5270 module ? The problem being I only have the address lines A0-A15 coming out of the module and the SDRAM has A0-A16. However could I use two chip selects and a bit of LV logic to create an A16 signal for my SDRAM chip :...

Re: Newbie:How do I connect & access a Dual Port SRAM to MOD5270

Figured it out !

I don't need this bit that setups CS3
// setup CS3 for I/O access
sim.cs[3].csar = (IO_BASEADDRESS >> 16 );
sim.cs[3].cscr = 0x2140; /* 0010 0001 0110 0000 */
sim.cs[3].csmr = 0x001F0001;

It seems this CS3 would clash with accesses to the CS1 area.

Re: Newbie:How do I connect & access a Dual Port SRAM to MOD5270

I finaly got some time to return to my project and but I am having a problem with exceptions. I have taken the code advice form above and implement a simple class to access the external bus. I am trying to use d0-d15 as digital I/O whilst also accessing some 64k of byte wide SRAM using d24-d31. I am...

Re: Newbie:How do I connect & access a Dual Port SRAM to MOD5270

Yes the design uses 130 circuit boards each with 32 RGB Leds each. The LED circuit boards all "tile" together to create a panel the size of a wide door. Each circuit board uses the two MAX6974 driver chips for multiplex control of 32 RGB leds. The 130 LED boards cacade the LVDS data single...

Re: Newbie:How do I connect & access a Dual Port SRAM to MOD5270

What happens with these TA, TIP and TS signals ? Will my read/write external bus acceses hang if I leave them unconnected ? Is there some 'C' lib function that will setup the external bus config ? I note that the address/data bus is only specified with enough umph to drive one load, so does it realy...

Re: Newbie:How do I connect & access a Dual Port SRAM to MOD5270

The LED drivers I am using require a clocked data stream at about 30Mhz and since I have 4,160 RGB leds which need which each need 36 bits of intesity data at 50 frames per second the CPLD is pretty busy nocking out 7.488 Mbps 8-) . So that this data rate demand does not fall on the shoulders of the...

Newbie:How do I connect & access a Dual Port SRAM to MOD5270

I have just done the "Getting started guide to NB Eclipse" and got my dev kit running demos (Trying NB for the first time having used Rabbit & PIC's on previous projects). I need to prototype hooking the MOD5270 upto a CY7C009V dual port ram (128k x 8bit). From my cursory review of var...
