Trouble with the ML403
Trouble with the ML403
Heh, should have realised it wouldnt be that easy...
Basically the ML403 differs from the ML401 & 2 by the fact that they both their Virtex-4s have 8 DCMs as opposed the 403s 4, and the LEON3 core with a DDR controller (necessary for the built in DDR memory) needs 5. It took a surprisingly long time for me to realise thats what the error message meant. Still today has been quite productive with a lot of lessons learnt.
Another lesson is that Xilinx ISE on windows will rebuild a Xilinx ISE on linux project, meaning the 20 minutes I took building and routing the first design came to nothing, as the windows machine proceeded to take about 60 minutes to perform the same task.
