Last post by Martin R. - Today at 02:48:18 PMHi,
our experience with MatLab/Simulink is very limited. If you think it is a problem of the settings MatLab/Simulink support should be your fist choice.
I can give only very general advice like: Check design clock source frequencies in hardware compared to simulation.

Trenz Electronic FPGA Modules / hdl coder settings for the te0...
Last post by Joni98 - Today at 09:50:47 AMHello,
I want to create an IP core using the HDL coder in MATLAB Simulink. It's working so far. When I create the IP core, my outputs switch at a different frequency than in the MATLAB simulation. Depending on the settings I use, I'm sometimes closer to the simulation or further away. However, I haven't been able to find the exact frequency after experimenting. I've used the following settings see in the pictures. Are there any "reference settings" for this, or what parameters could be causing the problem? The CLK for the IP core in Vivado is set to 250 MHz (same as the settings in MATLAB). The Simulink model is divided into an embedded C part and an FPGA part. The settings for the C part shouldn't play a role in the IP core generation? Can anyone help, or has anyone already done this?

Last post by Subcritical - July 14, 2025, 08:27:15 PMThe well-known game of life in FPGA format has used the available sources from the platform:
https://github.com/marsohod4you/FPGA_game_lifeSince
This could be seen here.
The max1000 only has 8kles, so the size of the board where the game is played, is a quarter of the total, that can be displayed on the screen.

Trenz Electronic FPGA Modules / Re: Andromeda PHY not detected
Last post by akarcher - July 07, 2025, 11:36:42 PMI did resolve this: The implementation of the level shifters for the LEDs was flawed on my base board, and this causes a change in the PHY address. I was unaware that the LEDs and PHY address were related at all.

Trenz Electronic FPGA Modules / Andromeda PHY not detected
Last post by akarcher - July 03, 2025, 02:25:42 AMI am using the prebuilt reference design files on AM0010-02-4DE21MA.
Board does boot, but I do not see ethernet. Since the Phy is on the module I don't think this can be an issue with baseboard I built. I did copy the AMB0010 for Ethernet, USB and SD card.
from U-boot:
ZynqMP> net list
Could not get PHY for eth0: addr 3
Could not get PHY for eth0: addr 3
eth0 : ethernet@ff0e0000 00:00:00:00:00:00

JB1 is pinheader for TE0790 JTAG/UART programmer.It contains FTDI for USB to JTA/UART translation and small Lattice CPLD for IO Pinmapping and voltage level translation.

Last post by cristina - June 24, 2025, 05:53:52 PMQuote from: JH on June 02, 2025, 08:50:31 AMHi,
bitstream itself does not configure PS. This will be done by FSBL, not with bitstream.This is the reason why you didn't see any VIO core, because CLK is missing. In case you want to use PS-PL CLKs and you need only PL part, boot system with your configured PS from SD Card (You can use our prebuilt Boot.bin in case you use the same CLKs like we in our reference design) and overwrite PL over JTAG like you has done above.

thank you so much, it helped me a lot

Last post by Subcritical - June 23, 2025, 10:59:38 AMI have trimmed the implementation of Next186 so that it can be a description of 8Kles; it still doesn't boot from SD, but over time it will. I am sharing the sources.

Last post by MA - June 16, 2025, 10:47:13 AMHi,
I apologise, but unfortunately a mistake has crept in and the board files are not up to date, as with the StarterKit design. However, you can use variant 91 (TE0808-05-9GI21-E) without any problems.
If you want to have the current board files, please download the StarterKit design and copy the complete folder "board_files" into your design. This is probably the easiest way.
