 Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 6:33 am Post subject: general questions about X3-SDF |
 |
|
hello,
some questions:
1) can the X3-SDF be used standalone without any carrier (I guess no because the power supply)
2) can the X3-SDF be used standalone in the eInstrument box without PCIe connection programming it via Jtag?
3) is the Matlab BSP already released for the board?
4) on the front panel connector are available user IO coming from the FPGA?
thank you

It cannot be used stand-alone, because the firmware for the FPGA must be delivered via PCIe.

It can be used in the eInstrumentPC, since the ePC is a full-fledged PC than can deliver firmware via the PCIe bus. But it cannot be used in the DAQ-Node, for the reason listed above.

No. Only the VHDL framework logic is currently released.

No. Front panel DIO are available only on the 25M, Servo, A4D4 and 2M modules. |

so, correct if I am wrong, all the X3 family doesn't have a flash where to store the FPGA bitstream and must be booted by the host

| That is correct. There is currently no means of running X3-modules "stand-alone". The closest approach to "stand-alone" for these modules is to use the eInstrumentPC as a host. |

wihich is the supported ISE version for the X3-SDF framwork?
do you will release the Matlab support? when?
thanks
