Questions

  1. Which of the following are true about internal versus external memory?

    a) DDR memory storage capacity is much smaller than BRAM.

    b) For the same memory data width, DDR has much higher performance than BRAM.

    c) The latency to access data from BRAM and DDR is identical.

    d) You should always use LUTRAM first before using any other memory type.

  2. To generate DDR2 memory for our project, we used the Xilinx:

    a) Massive IP Goliath (MIG)

    b) Minimally Informative Google (MIG)

    c) Memory Interface Generator (MIG)

  3. We can use ILAs to examine data in the FPGA and VIOs to read and write data.

    a) True

    b) False

  4. Artix 7 FPGAs can use which of the following memories from the MIG?

    a) DDR2

    b) DDR3

    c) DDR4

    d) LPDDR2

    e) QDR

  5. It is possible to use HyperRAM, SPI RAM, and SDRAM if you are willing to write your own controllers.

    a) True

    b) False

Challenge

We've created the DDR2 using the MIG and we have the example design. We don't have a way of inserting errors. Can you utilize...
