Hi bruno,

I'm not an expert but I've used it before.
Post you questions or doubts and I'll try to help you out.

I'm currently using it.
I Think it's far better than qu(at)rtus and ISE but now I have trouble for using IP and Mega Function for example I want to use CAM/RAM mega function and also Ethernet and a soft core but I can't ...
is it possible to port it's project to other S.Ws?

Hello no_mad,

Currently i'm learning a soft-core processor/IP-Core called ZPU. I've downloaded it from www.opencores.org. My task is to import all the ZPU Processor .vhd files in a library in Mentor HDL Designer.Now i need to implement it in FPGA @ltera Cyclone.To establish a connection btw the soft-core processor and fpga, i need the wishbones interface. My question is should i includes the wishbone .vhd files in the same library , where i put my .vhd files of zpu processor?

Thx

Added after 9 minutes:

hello sadid,

i'm also still learning about a soft-core processor, called zpu, which i've downloaded from www.opencores.org.So at the moment i cant help you.

If you want to implement a project in @ltera's FPGA, you'd better use qu(at)tus, it will save a lot of problems.

LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
USE ieee.std_logic_arith.all;

entity hello_world is
port (
clk : in std_logic;
-- reset : in std_logic;
led : out std_logic
);


end entity hello_world;

--
architecture rtl of hello_world is
constant CLK_FREQ : integer := 20000000;--20000000
constant BLINK_FREQ : integer := 1;
constant CNT_MAX : integer := CLK_FREQ/BLINK_FREQ/2-1;

signal cnt : unsigned(24 downto 0);
signal blink : std_logic;


begin
process(clk)
begin
-- if reset <='1' then
-- blink <='0';

if rising_edge(clk) then
if cnt=CNT_MAX then
cnt <= (others => '0');
blink <= not blink;
else
cnt <= cnt + 1;
end if;
end if;

end process;

led <= blink;

end architecture rtl;


I tried to run this programm to blink led in both qu(at)rtus and fpgadvantage from mentor, but it was only successfull in qu(at)rtus..anyone has idea about this??

mentor only give you edf netlist, later then you have create another project in qu(at)rtus, use this edf file as top design and that is it
