Designing a opensparc based system

I am trying to build a opensparc system using the bsb of XPS 10.1. I am using the cores included in the design found in opensparc package download, namely iop_fpga ( opensparc T1 core) and ccx2mb. I matched all the connections and ports of my design to the ones of the base design. When I try to synthesize the design, I get the following error:
ERROR:Place:713 - IOB component "fpga_0_DDR2_SDRAM_DDR2_DQ<13>" and IODELAY

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there is no out of the box solution for a xml export. So you got 2 options.
First :
Use the SDK and create your own export solution, which will executed whiled printing / inserting a order.
Second :
Use a third party addon like coresuite, which allows you to create a batch including VB scripts. So if you press print, the batch job creates the printout and a xml file for your export to the web services.
Perhaps your issue could also solved by using the XL-reporter, but i do not know exactly which functions the XL-reporter has.

    Hi Matt!
    This is definitely interesting reading and a lot of projects I've been in could have benefitted from it had it been carefully read beforehand by some of the involved parties.
    What I like especially is the fact that this is not only for technical consultants (who should know about most of these things anyway) but for the people closer to the business who need to find agreements with the technical guys.
    Good job...

    Some comments to what I read:
    I noticed that you use the term 'server virtualization' (section 3.3.1) quite generally. Maybe it would be worth introducing the term 'server consolidation' (which you use later in the document)  already in this early chapter. My experience shows that (especially recently) a lot of customers are interested in 'virtual servers' (meaning a virtual server with an OS installed separately), not really knowing what they're talking about and often better advised to use 'server consolidation' (one OS, many SIDs). These two concepts are similar in terms of sharing hardware resources, but quite different in terms of the implications toward administration.
    In section 4.2.1.3 you mention (in brackets) the Usage type to which the client belongs for the Business Explorer  and the J2SE Adapter Engine if I understood that correctly. There is no UT mentioned for the other clients and there is no explanation on what the bits in brackets are supposed to mean. (I first expected the 'BeX' abbreviation when I saw something in brackets...)

  • Rule based system in SQL

    we have an airline pricing system whose rules change often, and rather than re-designing tables and the client application code everytime that happens, we would like to develop a rule-based system to dynamically store the rules in a rule-based system that doesn't require re-design and code modification.
    any ideas ?
    here is an example of the data that we would like to store
    if seasonality is LOW
    and passenger is CHILD
    and carrier is TRW
    and origination is COS
    and destination is PIT
    and ticket code is Y
    then price is 908
    seasonality for carrier TRW is LOWfor travel between 01/15/06 to 04/15/06
    seasonality for carrier JAR is LOW for travel between 02/01/06 to 05/01/06
    age for carrier TRW is CHILD for passenger age betwen 2 and 12
    age for carrier JAR is CHILD for passenger age between 6 and 14
    .. and another price can be given with an entirely different set of rules
    reason is ask in this forum is I read a blog of someone who praises the set-based nature of the SQL language for developing exactly this kind of system, rather than trying to implement it on the client (for example using JRules)

    What version of Oracle are you on? 10g introduced a rules engine into the database (Oracle Rules Manager and/or Oracle Expression Filter) which would seem to be right up your alley.

  • REDHAT LINUX 7.3 on nForce based systems - An installation guide.

    INSTALLING REDHAT LINUX 7.3 ON NFORCE BASED SYSTEMS.
    A) Preface
    I'm a Linux newbie, just sharing my experience with installing linux on nforce.
    in my opinion Linux is a powerful but still a nascent operating system (in terms of user friendliness atleast!). many features are extremely 'release' and 'version' dependent.  this means that, what works in redhat might not work in mandrake or what works in redhat 7.3 might not work in redhat 7.1 or likewise...
    the steps i'm listing below just reflects how i went about installing RH 7.3 on my machine (K7N420D). it MAY not work for other versions or releases.
    B) BIOS SETTINGS
    1. I recommend, PnP disabled, ACPI/APIC disabled.
    for Mandrake 8.2 install on some machines (mine included), i suggest disabling audio and network in the bios till you get a stable level 3 (console without X windows) or level 5 install. for some reason, sometimes, on some boards,  Mandrake 8.2 hangs when probing audio and lan during boot.
    C) PREPARING TO INSTALL
    1. i suggest you get the three iso images from the internet and burn them into installation disks. though there are other ways of installing, this is the simplest way of doing it.
    2. if you have windows installed already, make sure you have a windows boot floppy in case of boot problems, you can also make one for linux during installation.
    3. using windows or fdisk strip off a sufficient chunk of hard disk space from an existing partition if you don't have a free partition. you need not create any partitions, just the non-allocated space would do. (as red hat can beautifully split this partition into /boot, / & swap partitions!)
    4. i recommend using GRUB (GRand Unified Boot-loader) instead of LILO for boot management. if you prefer the same way, get good documentation/how-to for grub from the net. this will be handy if you mess up your boot partition and end up in a grub prompt during boot.
    5. goto nvidia's drivers page and get appropriate drivers. i always recommend tar balls or src.rpm files instead of pre-compiled rpms. if you are using EXACT same version of the linux release as mentioned in the drivers page you can use rpms. If you wish to upgrade your kernel or use a different version of linux then make sure you have tar balls or source rpm files. make sure you also print the installation instructions from the same page.
    6. the drivers you need are
    a. NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx. - you need this one for audio & lan. (found in nforce link in drivers menu in nvidia site with an instruction manual)
    b. NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- both these for Graphics in Xwindows. these two drivers should be exactly matched. i suggest you download all of them along with a files named NVchooser.sh found on the same page. NVchooser will tell you which pair to install for your linux kernel version and CPU.
    D) LINUX INSTALLATION
    1. boot from 1st installation disk that you made. go through the GUI installer and choose automatic partitioning, it will take you to the Disk Druid and you can select the partition in which you wanna install linux. if the partition you choose is unallocated, most of the times didk druid will make three patrtions on its own, one is /boot (boot partion), /swap (partition for swap, similar to ramdisk) and / (root partition). all the three mount-points may be allocated on the same partition too.
    2. Choose GRUB (if you prefer) as boot loader and set Linux as primary boot OS and this page would've detected windows if you've already (it may appear as DOS). Choose "MBR" to install GrUB. If you get any warning ignore it. IMPORTANT: If you have NTFS partition for windows and you had windows as primary OS, there is a reported problem that says, in some versions of the linux installer, choosing MBR to install GRUB makes it hard to boot into windows. i haven't tried that option yet as i don't have a NTFS partition. If you have an NTFS partition, you may prefer to choose the other option to install GRUB or you may choose to install it later. in either case make sure you have a boot floppy to get you into linux or windows, whichever one you want.
    3. choose automatic install if you don't want to control which packages you want to install. else choose expert installation and proceed with it.
    4. when prompted to check the packages you want to install, choose "development tools" or something similar without fail. This is for installing a C compiler which is a must have for some driver installations. (this also installs perl and other dev tools, if you're an 'expert', there's an option in this page to custom select modules)
    5. somewhere you'll be asked to provide a root password, in the same page there'll be a provision to add users other than root. create atleast one user other than root at this time.
    4. somewhere you'll be shown a list of video adapters with NVIDIA Geforce 2 generic driver already highlighted. Below this screen you'll see a "Skip X install" or something similar. CHECK THIS TAB and this will NOT install the generic driver for your integrated GPU and also will not configure the GUI environment for Linux. This makes your video configuration a little easier.
    5. now linux will install, get configured and will ask if you wanna create a boot floppy. make one just in case you
    6. RH 7.3 will not recognize your APU and integrated LAN. you can install the drivers for this later.
    7. After installation boot into Linux, if you just followed the steps above you'll nicely end up in level 3 console!
    E) INSTALLING DRIVERS
    1. Assuming you got all the drivers in CD/floppy, login as 'user', type command "su" (super user) supply root password, now you are logged in as root. read the installation manual for the NVIDIA drivers and install NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx drivers for audio/LAN. do these series of steps from the console prompt,
    #vi /etc/modules.conf
    press INSERT key, add the following lines,
    alias eth0 mcpeth
    alias sound-slot-1 i810_audio
    alias usb-interface usb-ohci
    press ESC, (Shift) colon, wq and Enter.
    This will save the changes you made.
    2. Now install the NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- drivers as per instructions. follow the steps below.
    #XConfigurator
    Choose settings that are relevant to the monitor you use and mode supported. Choose custom configuration wherever possible. If your monitor is not listed, choose 'custom' all the way through and provide hardware details such as horiz/vert freq range, video memory and clock settings (choose 'recommended').
    DO NOT LET THE XCONFIGURATOR PROBE ANYTHING. sometimes this might cause a hang that is not necessary at all.
    select all videomodes and color depths that you think your monitor will support and exit XConfigurator without any probing.
    3.  Now at the prompt do the following,
    #vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
    Press INSERT and make following changes.
    replace line
    Driver "nv"  
    with
    Driver "nvidia"
    In the Module section, make sure you have:
            Load   "glx"
    Remove the following lines: (or put a hash before)
            Load  "dri"
            Load  "GLcore"
    and the whole
    Section "DRI" (last three lines usually, DRI may be in lower case usually)
    Press Esc, (Shift) colon, wq, Enter to save and exit.
    4. using vi make sure you have these lines in /etc/modules.conf file
    alias char-major-195 NVdriver
    5. edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and insert
    /sbin/modprobe nvaudio
    /sbin/modprobe nvnet
    save and exit. ( this is a crude way of loading modules but it works though!)
    6. Type "reboot" at prompt and reboot your system.
    7. get into bios and load original settings. (get back ACPI if you have windows, enable PnP OS etc)
    8. During restart linux may get you into the kudzu installer to install network drivers/audio, ignore this.
    9. login as "user" and type "startx" from console, your GUI should start smooth and you'll have video, sound, USB, LAN working (you need to fiddle a little bit more to get things work perfect) !
    10. There is extensive documentation found in the internet on these topics, have fun exploring them.
    F) TWEAKING YOUR HARD DRIVE
    most of the modern hard drives support UDMA transfers and usually linux is pretty much conservative on this option. so you might want to force linux to use UDMA. the following discussion assumes that your hard drive is /dev/hda, change it to hdb, hdc etc as per your setup.
    CAUTION: The 'hdparm' utility described here is a very powerful and dangerous if used improperly. USING hdparm IMPROPERLY MIGHT CORRUPT YOUR PARTITIONS AND RESULT IN SEVERE DATA LOSS. hdparm works with IDE drives. i'm not sure how it works on SCSI drives.
    @ console,
    1. type "man hdparm" and read through the hdparm manual atleast twice before you understand what it can do. THIS IS A MUST.
    2. login as root or get into super user mode and try the following. all commands are shown after #
    3. Benchmark the hard drive
    # /sbin/hdparm -t -T /dev/hda
    this should spit out the transfer rate both cached and sustained. note this value. if these values are close to what you expect out of your drive, you are OK. you may get out of further adventures! if the transfer rates are horrible like 3.5 Mbps etc (it was on my seagate ata IV drive!), then proceed with the tweaks. the golden rule is, after each tweak, run the benchmark and record your transfer rate. if there is no significant improvement, revert back to the default settings.
    4. # /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hda
    note down MaxMultSect, MultSect, Modes supported : PIO/DMA, especially the mode with a 'star' in front of it. (prefered mode)
    5. 32 bit I/O : to enable 32 bit I/O over the PCI bus
    # /sbin/hdparm -c1 /dev/hda
    this usually doubles your transfer rate if the drive supports. you may need to use -c3 for some chipsets.
    6. Enable DMA and set DMA mode
    if your drive supports DMA find out the prefered DMA mode using -i option.
    # /sbin/hdparm -d1 -Xab /dev/hda, where
    ab=64 + uDMA mode number (for eg. 66 for UDMA 2)
    ab=32 + DMA mode number (for multi-word DMA mode)
    you might need to prepare the chipset to enable DMA but on most of the modern hard dirves this works. refer to the "man hdparm" for details. beware, the options to 'prepare' the chipset for DMA should be used with EXTREME caution. if you do not know what you are doing, don't try it.
    7. To set multiple sector mode I/O,
    # /sbin/hdparm -m XX /dev/hda
    where XX is the MaxMultSect value obtained using -i option. if the MaxSect is already set to this value, you need not tweak this.
    after all these tweaks run the benchmark atleast three times consecutively and average the transfer rates. make sure you don't hear grinding noises in the hard drive. use these tweaks a couple of times manually and if verything appears to be working fine, add the necessary commands to the rc.local script to execute them automatically during  start up.
    G) FINAL WORDS
    I assumed that you're a total 'newbie' to linux when writing this so i followed a conservative approach. most of the things that i described can be done in many ways, it's up to you to explore them! as usual, there MIGHT be typos and other serious errors in this guide. also the driver files that i might have mentioned here are the ones that were available when i wrote this. so you might wanna try their latest equivalents. i'm open to all healthy criticism and suggestions. when i installed linux on my nforce board, i was badly looking for an article like this on the net. i missed one, if it exists at all. so am i writing this. i hope you'll get benefitted by this in some way.

    Venkat,
    Thanks for this really really amazingly accurate and exhaustive post that helped me A LOT to install linux on my machine!!! Otherwise, I think I would still be hanging with a mandrake 8.2 trying to load sound...
    My system is now fully functional but, (yes, there is a little but) I was not able to make the LAN function properly. When booting, while linux tries to load the ethernet module, I get something like:
    'mcpeth device does not seem to be present, delaying eth0 initialiation'. Then, I open an X session, I try to use the network configurator, the ethernet device is there but when trying to activate, it fails... I swear I enabled the LAN in my BIOS.
    I also tried to replace 'alias eth0 mcpeth' with 'alias eth0 nvnet' in /etc/modules.conf after reading the installation notes of NVIDIA drivers. I get a slighty different result: my boot error is now 'failed to load module'.
    It is a shame I have to boot back to Windows to use my DSL connection. I think i need some insights. It will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Chouch

  • How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones

    How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones?
    Suppose IT landscape has a global BW in New York, and source systems in americas, europe and asia, then how the time-zones effect on time related things like delta selections on date or timestamp etc.

    As you said BW is global in NY, your source system must be global too. People from various locations can connect to same source system and thus timestamps for delta is always maintained as 1 single time. We have same scenario in our project. Our R/3 system is used by users in US and Europe. So we run deltas twice in day to make sure we got deltas from both locations.
    If scenarios was such that all locations connect to separate R/3 system, then obviously you have multiple queues. That is unique delta queue for each source system so deltas will be pulled as per data in respective queues.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

    Hi,
    Nearly all hardware vendors won't release drivers for Windows 10 until Windows 10 is officially released (not preview). Windows 10 should install drivers for your machine after few updates. Windows 10 can find all drivers (except one: finger print) for my 5 years old machine. It should be able to find drivers for newer machines).

  • Best practices for complex recipe-based system?

    Hi Folks,
    I'm at about the intermediate level (working on my CLD), and tasked with re-vamping a tighly-developed control system(which I'm intimately familiar with) into more of a configurable 'recipe'-based system. Basically the current front-end control software does a lot of the work for the end user - it pre-defines flows, assumes certain electrical/plumbing configurations, etc. This is fine for the 'production floor', however the R&D guys would like something a bit more configurable.
    This system comprises of several flow controllers, mostly controlled/monitored via analog I/O (compact FieldPoint). There's some static analog input channels devoted to temp, humidity, etc. There exists the possibility of 1-2 external RS232 metering devices as well.
    Anyway I'm trying to work out the foundation for the UI. In terms of architecture think a que-ed state machine is my best bet due to the number of parallel processes occuring at once (analog acq, multiple serial comm, TDMS, UI, etc).  Basically I'd like the user to be able to add/remove/modify 'steps'. For instance, "Set Flow: controller IDx, 20cfm", or "Time Delay, Static: 10:00", "Time Delay, Psuedo-Static, based on X". 
    I've worked out a configuration UI (utilizing the in-build NI configuration storage VIs) to associate the analog channels to external devices (ie Aout1="Controller1 SP", Ain1="Controller1 FB"). Later I'll populate a ring control, for instance, for the 'add SetFlow step', to list all of the analog OUTs for selection.
    So I guess what I'm looking for is advice on passing all this info around without having to re-hash it all the time to present to the user. Keeping in enum/ring allows for easy user viewing, changing, and block diagram readbility (vs string constants, which are error prone) - is this something that the 'flatten to string' would be helpful for (something I have no experiance using).
    What tips can you provide for moderate-complexity HMI control systems developed strictly in LV? We currently don't have DSC, and I'm a bit closed-minded about using it for this (but perhaps you can convince me otherwise?).
    Thanks for your time,
    Jamie

    Cool, thanks for the screenshot!
    This request for more customization was anticipated, so I began working things in last year with other minor revs. The first was this 'hardware configuration' utility. Right now I'm only using the MFC Config page for channel scalling/name info. (the production version still relies on 'static' channel associations to control devices). The enum 'card/slot' selector does exactly as you mentioned - it controls a tab value, which loads other pages (with similar info).
    The second 'generator' page is used to populate a list of generators available for the user to select, and works quite well - users can add somewhat custom generators to the list w/out having to specify "custom" every time (and I don't have to rebuild to add such a simple thing).
    You can see the 'Flow Control' and 'Monitor' channel that have not yet been implimented. :-)
    Lastly the mockup is where I want to end up. I *wish* that labview was able to incorperate enum/ring drop-downs within a table cell (without the hacks that I've seen suggested).
    I intended to setup a similar format for the 'steps' - an Action (or noun as you say), Target (ie file path, device name, etc), Value (setpoint, other pertinent data), etc. Do you pass this info around as a cluster in your VI then simply parse out to the UI in the steps listing? My hurdle is how to ellegantly relate, say, a CSV file back to the enums without a lot of hard-coded (constant) strings.
    Cheers,
    Jamie

  • Get masks up to node based systems level?

    Ok seriously, I don't feel one way or the other about node based systems, they are powerfull but then again the project UI gets quickly cluttered and I prefer the way AE utilizes the screen space (most of the screen for viewing the actual image your working on instead of the project tree )
    But one thing I can't get over are masks. In node based systems each mask is a separate node, with all of the node transform properties.
    So you can scale the mask or rotate it on top of the shape animation it already has.
    Would it really be that hard to add a transforms property to every mask, right there with feather and opacity? So we could for instace apply tracking data to each mask separately on the same layer?
    Being a developer myself, I'm guessing masks are treated as vectors all the way to the end so multiplying them by one more transformation matrix is really simple from the coding side. It is also clean and simple from UI and usability point of view. Can't believe that after all these years we still don't have this
    Who would want that in AE? Maybe with enough votes we could actually put this in

    Bresnev Shu's Expression Effects did that 10 years ago, but the devolper abandoned things pretty shortly after that. If you can whip it up quickly enough, there may still be a market for it, otherwise it's a good bet that something like it might be in CS6.5/ CS7 and beyond. Users have been begging for it for eons and it's time AE caught up...
