Hi,
I am busy with the design of a board with an ARM mcu (STM32F407) and an ALTERA FPGA (cyclone IV). The mcu and the FPGA are required to communicate with eachother via an interface.
I plan to use the high speed parallel port of the mcu. The FPGA will act as a slave to the mcu with a set of registers for reading status, setting configuration and reading data. The parallel bus on the mcu (APB: advanced peripheral bus) is connected to the DMA.
I am not sure if this method is correct.
I am also not sure how to setup the FPGA to handle the data coming through from the mcu.
Please can someone shed light on possible interfacing techniques.
I require a very simple and basic interface between the two.
TIA
