Release 1.1Beta includes the following updates: gen_vhdl updates: - signals in data path implemented - scheduling bugs fixes Sim and Runtime Library updates: - ported to Annapolis Micro Systems host API 5.0 VHDL hardware library updates: - implemented block ram component, SC_Bram. See the block ram section in the hardware library manual about how to write your own pragma to use the block ram in hardware processes. There is not yet a software interface to the block ram. - 32 bit external memory component, SC_Mem4 - minor bug fixes for strmfifo.vhd and signals.vhd components - hardware library manual released Limitations of Release 1.1Beta: - the _arch.vhd file is not correctly generating signals and memory accesses - arrays of processes are not implemented in the synthesis compiler - parameters are not implemented in the synthesis compiler - the block ram and memory types available are listed in the apps/arch/Firebird.def, not all documented types are currently available Software Requirements for 1.1Beta: - Red Hat Linux 6.2 - SUIF version 1.3.0.5 - Annapolis Micro Systems Firebird API 5.0.0 Hardware Requirements for 1.1Beta: - PC with attached Annapolis Micro Systems Firebird board, running PCI version 2.8.0 Tools Required for VHDL simulation, compiling VHDL and generating a bitstream (see doc/hw_lib hardware library manual for more information): - Modelsim PE 5.5e - Xilinx Core Gen 3.3.07i - Xilinx 4.1 Tools - Synlify 7.0 - Annapolis VHDL version 3.1 Note: If you own a licence for Xilinx contact the authors to receive the sc2 xilinx core components libraries.
