FFT Megafunction v12.0 issues

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I was using a FFT Megafunction v12.0 to calculate 512-point FFT, and evaluating it on a DE2-115 board, which has a Cyclone IV E FPGA. The issue I have with this Megafunction is that it always gives incorrect results in the first two run, and gives the correct results in the third run and after, given that I feed the same data into the FFT core. Have any of you met the same problem? I don't understand why this is the case? Is it something to do with the Megafunction itself or it is related to my FFT controller design. Any input is welcome.  Thanks,  -Roger

Thank you for the reply. Can you be more specific how you reset the core? Are you reset it multiple times before you feed the data in? Would you be able to share more in this regard?

So I put one pulse of reset at start and in the gaps. I mean fft was only allowed to work after a reset release. Check first your own logic of SOP,EOP,Vld, and any fft error output. if you are applying reset at start then my reply doesn't apply to you really

Thank you for the details. I think I didn't apply the reset_n before the start, after I apply it, it looks good. Thanks for the tips.
