Te0712 Mig-7 seems to only have a 32bit AXI interface??

[tschesnok]

Using the Te0712 board package I drag the MIG-7 DDR3 controller over to the block diagram to create a correctly configured DDR3 controller for the module. It works great. But I noticed the AXI port is only 32bit.

When I dig deeper it seems that the settings default to 256bit in the wizard. Does the input auto-configure? The problem here is that I attach it to a SmartConnect and it auto defaults to 32bit as well. This creates a major bandwidth problem.

Any suggestions? What is the best way to instantiate the DDR3 on the module / or change the AXI size?

Update:

I ran the wizard on the MIG Controller with all default values (made no changes) other than the AXI bus size.. changed it to 256. That seemed to work.. on the block diagram
But Vitis returned "Processor held in reset". (microblaze)

I switched it back to 32 bit.. and it "updated output products (I'm not sure if it did this the first time) But then returns an error:
[Vivado 12-3563] The Nested sub-design '/home/andrew/Microblaze/Microblaze0712S_2020/Microblaze0712S_2020.srcs/sources_1/bd/design_1/ip/design_1_mig_7series_0_1/design_1_mig_7series_0_1.xci' can only be generated by its parent sub-design.

To get it to work I have to delete it.. and drag and drop the DDR3 version in the "boards" section for the 0712. That works.. but I'm back at 32bit.

Any suggestions? The wizard does not seem to invert any resets.. nothing else in the design has changed..

Sorry for filling up the forum...

I got it working by directly editing the AXI size in the board file "mir.prj".  Lesson.. don't use the wizard. Vivado is hard..

Hi,
no problem.

/home/andrew/Microblaze/Microblaze0712S_2020/Microblaze0712S_2020.srcs/sources_1/bd/design_1/ip/design_1_mig_7series_0_1/design_1_mig_7series_0_1.xci

I didn't see this message before, I found only this forum post:
https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Design-Methodologies-and/Vivado-12-3563-error-MIG-7-DDR3/td-p/1007038

mig.prj file is from old ISE, Xilinx has used still old ISE MIG generator in the past also in Vivado. I've recognised that MIG Generator style has changed since some Vivado versions, but the old mig.prj was still working, maybe Xilinx has changed now to new IP stile with backward compatibly to use the mig.prj file.  Maybe this makes trouble with changing parameters.

But good to hear that you found a solution for you
