FPGA to C6678 EVM SRIO DMA Example

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678, TMS320TCI6488

Hello,

Is there a good example project to transfer data between an Altera Cyclone V FPGA dev kit and the TMS320C6678 dev kit? I want to use 4 lane SRIO for data transfer from the FPGA (master) to the DSP (slave). 

Altera has a paper describing how to do this using the Texas Instruments TMS320TCI6488 and an Altera Stratix board, see the document AN568 "RapidIO Interoperability with TI 6488 DSP Reference Design". 

Is there a more up-to-date example for this? There is code attached for running that project, but I don't know how portable it is for the C6678. The example project is zipped and attached.

Thanks,

Ryan

    Ryan,

    Happened to see your post today.

    I have a working design for a Cyclone V FPGA and C6678 connected via SRIO in 1x, 2x, and 4x.  We built a simple PCB that connects the Cyclone V GX development kit the C6678 development kit for prototyping.  (Our real application PCB is about to enter fabrication also.)

    Maybe I could help you.

    Hi Toby,

    Thank you for your response.

    I'd really like to get some help with the design. Currently we have an FPGA application written, and I need to write the SRIO application on the DSP side.

    I've also had trouble designing a PCB to interface the two development kits. The interface card referenced in the Altera application note is out of production. Would you be able to share some of the design? 

    Cheers,

    Ryan

    Ryan,

    We can discuss how I might be able to help you outside of this forum.

    You can contact me by sending an email to a throw away address: m8r-px7ud41@mailinator.com

    Post back here after you do to let me know I can go pick up your email.
