Avalon-MM Master Read/Write Template

Hi, 

 

I'm using Altera's Avalon-MM Master Read/Write template. 

The problem is, that the adress will not increment automatically. 

For testing I wrote known data in the memory and verified them with NIOS2. 

Reading the data with the template, manually incrementing the adress works fine, but I think this will be slower as I cannot use reasonably the fifo. 

 

Configuration: 

 

 

32bit adressbus 

32bit databus 

 

control_fixed_location=0 

control_read_base=x"0c000000" 

control_read_length=x"00000004"; 

 

for starting reading, I set control_go for one clock_cycle high. 

for reading data, I clock the user_read_buffer input. 

 

attached: signal-tap signals (corr_reader_clock=user_read_buffer) 

 

Any ideas? 

 

Best Regards 

 

Mark

The address isn't incrementing because you are telling the master to move 4 bytes of data (one transfer and it's done). Typically you tell the master to move multiple words of data in sequential memory locations.
