FFT IP core and QSYS

Altera_Forum · ‎05-27-2015

Could anyone explain me how do I connect FFT IP core in QSYS? I have tried to use SGDMA but the bits/symbol doesn't match. I don't have DSP Builder.

The FFT is Avalon ST compliance, this is depending on your application to determine how to connect the FFT IP, do you need store data in External Memory? if no, then I don't think you need SGDMA. Or you may just export the avalon ST port to the top level

I solved it. I wrapped Megacore code with a template and used scgdma with some adapters.

hi，i also use fft ip and connect it to nios through sgdma. however, i load to the development kit and the result is not correct.

i make a component of fft and connect it to qsys; in creating component, i only add the wrapper(my_fft.v) and fft ip top file(fft512.v) as follow, i am not sure it can call the fft lib and synthesize the correct hardware.

my wrraper code:
